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 abstractApplication of Water-Soluble Polymers for Extraction Separation of Amino Acids of Various StructuresNadezhda Yakovlevna Mokshina, Dmitry Vladimirovich Bykovskiy, Gennadiy Valentinovich Shatalov, Oksana Anatolievna PakhomovaThis article actualizes the task of developing new methods for extraction separation of amino acids for the analysis and purification of target components in the production of food supplements, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products and cosmetics; it also presents the extraction separation results for binary mixtures of histidine, proline and methionine using water-soluble homo- and co-polimers with various molecular weight values. We … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 12 · 10 Dec 2015 · 6,641 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 abstractEnumeration of Microbes and Gas Production During Denitrification and Nitrogen Fixation Processes in SoilA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldDry plant material contains 2-4% nitrogen, making it an essential nutrient for all plants. The nitrogen cycle regulates the pathways which transform nitrogen from a relatively inert dinitrogen gas to forms of organic nitrogen such as proteins and nucleic acids. Denitrification and nitrogen fixation are the two most important processes that remove and add nitrogen to the soil, respectively. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2012 · 8,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPapain, a Plant Enzyme of Biological Importance: A ReviewFlorence Mamboya, Ezekiel AmriPapain is a plant proteolytic enzyme for the cysteine proteinase family cysteine protease enzyme in which enormous progress has been made to understand its functions. Papain is found naturally in papaya (Carica papaya L.) manufactured from the latex of raw papaya fruits. The enzyme is able to break down organic molecules made of amino acids, known as polypeptides and thus … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 44,698 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of Phenolic Compounds in Creosote Treated Wood Waste by a Composting Microbial Culture Augmented with the Fungus Thermoascus aurantiacusAbdel E. Ghaly, Bopeng Zhang, Deepika DaveProblem statement: Creosote is used as a wood preservative and water proof agent in railway sleepers, utility poles, buildings foundations and fences and garden furniture. It is a mixture of over 300 hydrocarbons which include 75% polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 2-17% phenolic compounds and 10-18% heterocyclic organic compounds. Exposure to creosote may result in several health problems including damage to kidney, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 Aug 2011 · 9,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRoot Elongation, Root Surface Area and Organic Acid by Rice Seedling Under Al3+ and/or H+ StressA. Elisa Azura, J. Shamshuddin, C.I. FauziahProblem statement: Under acidic condition, Al3+ is the most common species in solution. An experiment was conducted to study the effects of Al and/or pH on rice seed germination, root morphology and organic acids release. This study was conducted at ambient temperature in Malaysia. Approach: Two experiments were conducted: (1) Rice seeds undergoing germination were exposed to 0.5 mM CaCl2 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Different Exogeneous Compounds on Biosorption of EndosulfanDeepika Dave, A. K. DikshitProblem statement: Organochlorine pesticide endosulfan is widely used as a replacement for DDT and dieldrin in many parts of the world. Presence of residual pesticides in the water, air and soil environment was confirmed since 1960s. Such Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are of concern because of their long-term subtle effects on hormones, the immune system and reproduction. Therefore, it becomes … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Jul 2011 · 7,202 accessesView PDFCite
