InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractA State of PSI and PSII Photochemistry of Sunflower Yellow-Green Plastome MutantMaksim S. Makarenko, Nikolay V. Kozel, Alexander V. Usatov et al.Chlorophyll deficient mutants are appropriate model objects for a large number of investigations in the field of photosynthesis. In this study, we identified a state of Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry and light responses of the sunflower yellow-green mutant line - en:chlorina-7, wherein mutations in chloroplast genes have been previously localized. The conducted research revealed low content … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 29 Dec 2016 · 7,458 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFar-Red Spectrum of Second Emerson Effect: A Study Using Dual-Wavelength Pulse Amplitude Modulation FluorometryV. S. Lysenko, T. V. Varduny, E. I. Simonovich et al.Non-additive enhancement of the photosynthesis excited by simultaneous illumination with far-red light and light of shorter wavelengths is called as "second Emerson effect". Its action spectra are well-known as a photosynthetic yield's dependence on light wavelength in red (630-690 nm) spectral region at a constant-wavelength far-red illumination near 700-715 nm. However, the opposite dependence of the photosynthetic yield's of shorter … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Nov 2014 · 7,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF UV-B ON PHOTOSYNTHETIC PARAMETERS, LIPID PEROXIDATION, FLAVONOIDS AND GROWTH TRAITS OF CONOCARPUS LANCIFOLIUS (ENGL.)Patrice Suleman, Amina Redha, Mohamad Afzal, Redha Al-HasanConocarpus lancifolius is a perennial ornamental plant adapted to the semi-arid conditions of Kuwait. It accumulates most of its biomass during the stressful summer conditions which includes UV-B irradiation. The study evaluated equivalent UV-B irradiation intensities that plants would normally experience sometime during the course of a year in Kuwait. Leaf area, plant height, photosynthetic parameters, Lipid Peroxidation (LP) and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConnectivism in Science Education with Emphasis on International CollaborationEva Trnova, Josef TrnaThe study presents the results of design-based research on the influence of connectivism on science education, with the emphasis on an international collaboration among/between teachers and students from different countries. Science and technology education is a very important part of culture as a knowledge background of society. Very fast ICT development strongly influences education. The pedagogical theory of connectivism was … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 12 Feb 2013 · 8,453 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant and Photosynthetic Responses in Plants Under Boron Toxicity: A ReviewLucia Guidi, Alberto Pardossi, Elena Degl’Innocenti, Marco LandiBoron (B) is a micronutrient that has long been known essential not only for plants and animals. Otherwise, in crop plants the range of B concentration from essentiality to toxicity appears extremely narrow. Although B deficiency has been well investigated, during recent years many researchers have also investigated boron toxicity effects, making progress in the comprehension of boron transport within … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 5 Jul 2012 · 12,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction of Protein from Common Plant Leaves for Use as Human FoodA.E. Ghaly, F. N. AlkoaikProblem statement: Protein deficiency is one of the major nutritional problems in the developing world. The most disastrous consequences occur in children where protein malnutrition manifests itself in forms of two notorious diseases: Marasmus and kwashiorkor. Expansion of present agricultural practices into marginal lands is expected to solve this chronic protein shortage. The process of photosynthesis is the only non … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 12,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological Response of Soybean (Glycine max) to Foliar Application of Methanol Under Different Soil MoisturesFarzad Paknejad, Mojtaba Mirakhori, Majid Jami Al-Ahmadi et al.Problem statement: Many cultivated area are situated in arid zone, where crop photosynthesis and productivity has limited by drought. Thus any treatment, such as methanol, that improve plant water relation and reduce stress impacts, could be benefit. Approach: In order to investigate effects of methanol application on some physiological properties of soybean under low water stress, a factorial experiment was … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,150 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Biological Processes by Using Membrane Computing FormalismRavie Chandren Muniyandi, Abdullah Mohd. ZinProblem statement: Membrane computing has structural resemblance with the cell structure. This characteristic provides the versatility in the modeling of biological processes. Approach: This study was carried to discuss the membrane computing formalism in modeling biological processes by analyzing two examples: Photosynthesis in chloroplast and Sodium-Potassium exchange pump. Results: The modeling of these two examples showed membrane computing formalism has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 6,717 accessesView PDFCite
