Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlobal Status of Herbicide Resistance Development: Challenges and Management ApproachesMeisam Zargar, Han Eerens, Elena Pakina et al.Chemicals are widely recommended for the suppression of weed in crop land. This paper attempts to a greater integration of ideas into the development of herbicide resistance. This may lead researchers to focus less on simply defining herbicide resistance and more towards comprehensive investigations of the resistance development. Weed expert in collaboration with plant biologists can work in synergy to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 5 May 2017 · 8,463 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Silencing of Septin 1 via Synthetic siRNAs in Schizosaccharomyces pombeSemih Ekimler, Merve Yilmazer, Ercan AricanSeptins are evolutionary conserved GTP-binding proteins and form heterooligomers in cells to interact with cytoskeleton. The main roles of septins in cell are cytokines, membrane interactions, vesicle trafficking and microtubule and actin organization. Non-coding RNAs are key players of gene expression regulation. Small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) belong to non-coding RNAs, are characterized by sequence complementarity to their target mRNAs. siRNAs silence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2017 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
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 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractCan Anthocyanins be Part of the Metal Homeostasis Network in Plant?Marco LandiAnthocyanins are a class of flavonoids with a high level of diversification and likely the most studied pathway of secondary metabolism in Plantae. Anthocyanins have raised a growing interest due to the huge variability of their chemical structures and the more new anthocyanins are isolated from plants, the more questions on their evolutionary and ecological meaning they raise. Antioxidant, photoprotection … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 8,568 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmino Acid Sequence of Amylase Type Alpha, MiAmy, from Ok-Rong Mango (Mangifera indica Linn. cv. Ok-Rong)Raksmont Ubonbal, Saijai Posoongnoen, Jureerut Daduang et al.The 594-amino acid residue sequence of α-amylase, MiAmy, from the Ok-rong mango (Mangifera indica Linn. cv. Ok-rong), in the ripening stage, was determined through Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Sequence alignments and evolutionary tree analyses revealed its high similarity to plastid α-amylase from many other plants. The sequence was revealed to have four conserved regions with catalytic amino acid … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2015 · 7,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Multi-Drug and Metal Resistant Aeromonas Species from Diverse SourcesRamasamy Amsaveni, Muthusamy Sureshkumar, Joseph Reshma Mary et al.The abuse of antibiotics in the modern era, lead the microorganisms to develop resistance. Antibiotic resistance becomes the part of natural selection in bacteria which allows them to survive in different environments. Bacteria like Aeromonas are able to adapt to changes in the environment such as an increase in antibiotic concentration, which often results in the development of mutations allowing … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,575 accessesView PDFCite

SibiPyrethroids are commonly used in most parts of the world and are reported to have potential health risks. Bifenthrin, a third generation pyrethroid used as insecticide has caused potential effect on aquatic life and human health. Bioremediation is a practical approach to reduce pesticide in the environment and reports of microbial degradation of bifenthrin are meagre.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSTATIONARY CONNECTED CURVES IN HILBERT SPACESRaed Hatamleh, Ahmad Qazza, Hatim MigdadiIn this article the structure of non-stationary curves which are stationary connected in Hilbert space is studied using triangular models of non-self-adjoint operator. The concept of evolutionary representability plays here an important role. It is proved that if one of two curves in Hilbert space is evolutionary representable and the curves are stationary connected, then another curve is evolutionary representable … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 17 May 2014 · 6,799 accessesView PDFCite
