Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Site Specific Mutational Effect on Transcription Initiation at Escherichia coli PromoterS. Kannan, M. Krishnan, S. Sundarraj et al.Problem statement: It is widely accepted thought that the weak promoters control the RNA synthesis and play regulatory role in complex genetic networks in bacterial system. An experiment had been designed to address whether mutations in the -16/-17 region affect the rate of transcription at an activator-independent promoter in E. coli or not? Approach: The aim of this study was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,555 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe First Report of the Occurrence of Anthracnose Disease Caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. on Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus spp.) in Peninsular MalaysiaMasanto Masyahit, Kamaruzaman Sijam, Yahya Awang, Mohd Ghazali Mohd SatarProblem statement: The increasing of dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) plantations in Malaysia enhances the researches on this crop, particularly focusing on its physico-chemical characteristics, great potential health benefits and nutritional value. However, its scientific report of disease is still lacking, primarily on anthracnose disease. This study was then conducted to investigate the distribution of anthracnose disease on dragon fruit and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 11,824 accessesView PDFCite
