EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,527 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOxidative Status of Boar Semen during StorageEraldo Zanella, Ricardo Zanella, Márcia Rósula Poetini et al.The intensification of the use of artificial insemination in the swine industry has increased the interest to develop proper conditions to store semen better for longer periods of time without affecting its fertility. Trolox is a vitamin E analog with antioxidant property to prevent oxidative stress. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the Trolox antioxidant capacity on … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 31 May 2016 · 7,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDurum Wheat Seed Germination Response to Hydrogel Coatings and Moisture under Drought StressMaya Hotta, James Kennedy, Clement Higginbotham, Noreen MorrisTechnologies that can increase crop production while maintaining low pollution are essential for sustainable agriculture. This study compares the germination performance of Durum wheat seeds (Triticum durum Desf.) which were coated with synthetic coatings [polyacrylamide (PA)] and novel natural coatings [mixtures of agar/ι-carrageenan (AC)] at different moisture levels. A number of germination performance indicators were measured for each of the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 May 2016 · 8,427 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSodium L-Glutamate-Induced Physiological Changes in Lactobacillus Brevis NCL912 During GABA Production Under Acidic ConditionsGui-Dong Huang, Jian Mao, Zhongwei Ji, Askaer AlatiPrevious studies showed that γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) can protect some GABA-producing bacteria against acid stress through glutamate decarboxylation. However, the acid stress mechanism is a comprehensive network related to numerous genes and proteins. Other than the Glutamate Decarboxylase (GAD)/GABA antiporter system, limited information is available about the physiological modifications that occur in Lactobacillus brevis during GABA production under acidic conditions. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2014 · 7,325 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION FOR SALT STRESS TOLERANCE IN TWO STRAWBERRY CULTIVARSW. Al-Shorafa, A. Mahadeen, K. Al-AbsiSalt stress conditions have been found to destroy the vital physiological process in plant where slower cell division and cell enlargement or both and limit mineral nutrient uptake with clearly nutritional imbalance. A greenhouse pot experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Mu’tah University, Jordan to evaluate growth responses and mineral composition of two strawberry cultivars to salt stress … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Apr 2014 · 7,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Green Tea on Hepatic Cells Under the Influence of Inflammatory Conditions: In Vitro StudyIbrahim G. Saleh, Zulfiqar Ali, Farid M. Hamada et al.The concern about safety of consumption of Green Tea (GT) supplements has become a scope of many studies. We and others have described earlier the effect of the administration of GT and its polyphenols on liver in a mouse model. In this study we aimed to investigate the effect of GT on HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were treated with different … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 3 Dec 2013 · 7,318 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerioperative Care of Elderly Surgical PatientsAly SaberAdvancing age is characterized by functional impairment of the many regulatory processes that provide integration between organs and therefore, may lead failure to maintain homeostasis under conditions of physiological stress. There are two main factors helping to identify the high risk for surgery. The first relates to the type of surgery and the second to the scope of cardiopulmonary functional … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2013 · 8,014 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrace Elements Distribution in the Brain of Stressed RatsZerrouk Kamal, Mohamed Najimi, Mohammed Chigr et al.Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 7,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Effects of Drought and Salt Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Pennisetum divisum (Gmel.) Henr.Wafa’a A. Al-TaisanProblem statement: Water stress due to drought and salinity is probably the most significant abiotic factor limiting plant and also crop growth and development. Salinity and drought stresses are physiologically related, because both induce osmotic stress and most of the metabolic responses of the affected plants are similar to some extent. Water deficit affects the germination of seed and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 27,318 accessesView PDFCite
