Antioxidant activity was evaluated utilizing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 30 Jul 2026 · 662 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Pea Cultivation in Kazakhstan: Breeding Drought-Resistant Varieties for Sustainable AgricultureKudaibergenov Mukhtar Sarsenbekovich, Kanatkyzy Makpal, Saken Gaukhar Sakenkyzy et al.Peas (Pisum sativum L.) are a vital legume for global food security, yet its cultivation in Kazakhstan faces challenges due to arid conditions and limited moisture availability. Breeding high-yielding, stress resistant varieties is critical to enhance agricultural productivity in the region. This study aimed to develop pea varieties with improved yield, drought resistance, and mechanization adaptability under Kazakhstan's agroecological conditions. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 25 Aug 2025 · 5,254 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Drought Resistance in Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Through Chelated Zinc Seed Treatment: An Experimental StudyBekzak Amantayev, Gulden Kipshakbayeva, Arysgul Turbekova et al.Climate change-induced drought is a significant threat to global food security, particularly affecting wheat yields. Despite various strategies to enhance drought resistance in crops, the effectiveness of chelated Zinc (Zn) as a seed treatment agent remains underexplored, especially in the early stages of wheat ontogenesis. This study aims to fill this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of zinc as a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2024 · 4,420 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Seaweed Extracts on Rice Growth and Tolerance to Salinity, Drought and Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae)Mir Sayeada Alam, Jannatun Nayeema, S. M. Rafiquzzaman, Motaher HossainRice, a primary staple, confronts a multitude of biotic and abiotic stresses. Drought and salinity, exacerbated by climate change and blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, significantly contribute to yield losses. To tackle the problems, two types of seaweeds-one known as Hypnea musciformis and another unknown-were collected from Saint Martin, Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh and then examined for the potential of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 31 May 2024 · 6,515 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Gene Expression of Peroxide Resistant Protein (AhpC) in Planktonic and Biofilm State of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli CellsOmar Sadik Shalal, Ani-Simona SevastreThe gastrointestinal tract seems to be the primary reservoir of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) in humans. UPEC strains harbor the Urinary Tract (UT) and cause Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) which might represent a serious threat to human life. To counteract with the damage caused by the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), bacterial strains produce various enzymes and proteins like Alkyl hydroperoxide … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2023 · 5,328 accessesView PDF Cite
