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

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTen Bioinformatics Tools for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms DetectionMahin Ghorbani, Hamed KarimiSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) as unique genetic variations are widely used as biomarkers for drug designing and development for individualized therapy. SNP genotyping techniques such as SBE with MS detection, SBE with fluorescence intensity detection, The FP-TDI, Pyrosequencing and The TaqMan 5’ nuclease assay are low-speed, time consuming and very expensive. To overcome such disadvantages, bioinformatics tools are emerged as … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Apr 2015 · 17,728 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRe-Paving the Road Built by Chemistry: A Challenge to Biochemistry and BiotechnologyAlberto A. IglesiasBiochemistry’s birth can be placed at the end of the nineteenth century, when Eduard Buchner made a clever interpretation of experimental observations on the generation of gas bubbles after addition (the original purpose was preservation) of sucrose to a yeast crude extract (Lagerkvist, 2005). Intelligently, Buchner concluded that the disaccharide had been fermented by broken cells’ suspension to produce CO2, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2015 · 7,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing Clusters Alignment for Bilingual Malay-English CorporaRayner Alfred, Chan Chen Jie, Ng Zhen Wei et al.Bilingual corpora, containing the same documents in two different languages, are becoming an essential resource for natural language processing. Clustering bilingual corpora provides us with an insight into the differences between languages when term frequency-based Information Retrieval (IR) tools are used. It also allows one to use the Natural Language Processing (NLP) and IR tools in one language to implement … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 26 Nov 2012 · 7,144 accessesView PDFCite
