Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Absorbing Agent on Moisture Reserves of Winter Wheat in the Conditions of Semiprovided Dry Farming Land of the South-East of KazakhstanLaila Klimovna Tabynbayeva, Serik Barmenbekovich Kenenbayev, Meiramgul Shagievna Suleimenova et al.In the conditions of dry-land farming, the leading factor of productivity, which is minimal, is moisture. Soil moisture directly influences the growth of plants by means of aeration, transfer of nutrient substances, absorption and transformation. The main crop acreage of the spike cereals in the south-east of Kazakhstan is located in dry farming lands that are characterized as dry and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 27 May 2017 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEASONAL DROUGHT DYNAMICS IN EL-BEHEIRA GOVERNORATE, EGYPTAmr Mossad, Hazem S. Mehawed, Ahmed El-ArabyDrought is the most damaging climate-related hazards due to the prolonged absence of precipitation. Therefore, understanding the drought dynamics is important for irrigation water management to mitigate the negative impacts on agriculture. In this study, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) were used as effective tools for tracking the changes of water status occurred at five … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2014 · 7,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Mulberry Fruit Powder in Animal Model of StrokePratchaya Kaewkaen, Terdthai Tong-Un, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn et al.Stroke is the leading cause of death and the important cause of disability worldwide. Presently, the effectiveness of therapeutic strategy is still very limited. Based on the role neuroprotective effect of substance possessing antioxidant effect previously reported, we hypothesized mulberry fruit a substance possessing anti-oxidant activity, might be able to protect against cognitive impairment induced by stroke or cerebral ischemia. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2012 · 9,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Functional Effect of Kaempferia Parviflora on Ischemic Stroke in RatsWathita Phachonpai, Sinthuporn Maharun, Terdthai Tong-Un et al.Problem statement: Oxidative stress has been implicated as important factors in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia-induced behavioral deficits particularly memory. Growing attention is being paid to traditional medicinal plants possessing antioxidant activity, as they have been proved therapeutically/prophylactically fruitful against stroke condition. Present study provides evidence of the neroprotective effects of a Thai traditional herb, Kaempferia Parviflora (KP) extract, against … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2012 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuroprotective Effect against Alzheimer's Disease of Porcine Brain ExtractWipawee Thukham-Mee, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn Muchimapura, Chuleratana BunchonglikitkulProblem statement: Despite the increasing importance of Alzheimer’s disease, no effective therapeutic strategy is available. Therefore, neuroprotective strategy is still required. Recent findings show that numerous substances possessing antioxidant can improve neurodegeneration and memory impairment. Based on the antioxidant effect and its reputation to serve as brain tonic in traditional folklore, we hypothesized that porcine brain extract could mitigate neurodegeneration … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 5 Mar 2012 · 8,243 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntagonistic Effects of Fertilizer on Photochemical Efficiency of Hibiscus cannabinus L. (Kenaf) Planted on Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales SoilMohd-Hazimy Yusoff, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid, Arifin Abdu et al.Problem statement: Hibiscus cannabinus L. or Kenaf is a highly productive, warmseasonal C3 annual crop and is one of the potential candidates to substitute kenaf fiber as raw product for pulp and paper production. It survives well on less fertile soils including those of Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales (BRIS) soil.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Proteomics Analysis of Drought Stress-Responsive Proteins as Biomarker for Drought-Tolerant Sugarcane CultivarsNisachon Jangpromma, Supansa Kitthaisong, Khomsorn Lomthaisong et al.Problem statement: The prime objective in breeding selection process of drought-tolerant sugarcane is to identify the correlating marker, which could lead to rapid screening for drought-tolerant cultivars. In this study, we have reported an unknown 18-kDa protein (p18) along with other stress-inducible proteins to be highly expressed in sugarcane leaves under drought stress condition. Approach: The 2D-PAGE patterns of proteins … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,814 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 · 27,311 accessesView PDFCite
