It has the most exacting climatic and cultural requirements, which limit its commercial production to a few favored locations. In Thailand, broccoli has been expending in recent years and amount of increasing production. It is best planted … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 19 Nov 2013 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA common Protein Extraction Protocol for Proteomic Analysis: Horse Gram a Case StudyJyoti Bhardwaj, Sudesh Kumar YadavThree protocols viz. Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)-acetone, phenol and multi-detergent were compared for the extraction of proteins from horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) which is less studied yet nutritionally and economically very important pulse crop. Almost equal quantity of proteins was extracted by all the three protocols. However, quality of protein from phenol method was superior to that from other protocols. Bands in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2013 · 7,931 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrying Poultry Manure for Pollution Potential Reduction and Production of Organic FertilizerA. E. Ghaly, M. AlhattabDisposal and storage of raw poultry manure has become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution. Poultry manure begins to decompose immediately after excretion giving off ammonia which, in high concentrations, can have adverse effects on the health and productivity of birds as well as the health of the farm workers. Application to land is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2013 · 9,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffectiveness of Cultural Parameters on the Growth and Sporulation of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Causing Anthracnose Disease of Mango (Mangifera indica L.)Ashutosh Pandey, Lallan Prasad Yadava, Muthukumar Manoharan et al.Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing anthracnose which is a serious post harvest disease in mango accounting for 15-20% loss. The variation in nutritional and physiological characteristics among five isolates of C. gloeosporioides collected from different agro-climatic regions of India was investigated. All the isolates showed differential response in requirements of media, temperature and media pH for growth and sporulation. Malt Extract Agar … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 28 Jan 2013 · 7,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia SyndromeAriele Fabris, Paolo Biagioni, Tiziana Punzi et al.The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a crucial connection between aberrant immune system activation, systemic inflammation and Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome (CACS), a syndrome that culminates in hyper-activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Angiotensin directly up-regulates this pathway, while vitamin D down-regulates it indirectly through the insulin-like growth factor-1 pathway. We investigated the genetic predisposition towards CACS in a cancer population, examining Insertion/Deletion (I/D) … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 2 Aug 2012 · 9,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrying of Poultry Manure for Use as Animal FeedA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldThe poultry industry is one of the largest and fastest growing sectors of livestock production in the world. The estimated 2010 world flock was over 18 billion birds with a yearly manure output of 22 million tonnes. Storage and disposal of raw poultry manure have become an environmental problem because of the associated air, water and soil pollution.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNutrient Composition of Dandelions and its Potential as Human FoodAbdel E. Ghaly, Deepika Dave, Nesreen MahmoudTwo thirds of the world’s populations are suffering from protein malnutrition and about 36 million people die every year due to hunger. Expansion of present agriculture practices into marginal land is not expected to solve the problem of increasing the food supply. New methods of feeding the ever increasing world population must be developed. The aim of the study was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 10,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDecolorization of Distillery Effluent by Thermotolerant Bacillus subtilisSoni Tiwari, Rajeeva Gaur, Priyanka Rai, Ashutosh TripathiProblem statement: Ethanol production from sugarcane molasses generate large volume of effluent containing high Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) along with melanoidin, a color compound generally produced by “Millard reaction”. Melanodin is a recalcitrant compound degraded by specific microorganisms having ability to produce mono and di-oxygenases peroxidases, phenoxidases and laccases, are mainly responsible for degradation of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy and Identification of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Gene Polymorphisms in Zel Sheep PopulationSeyed Mohsen Kazemi, Cyrus Amirinia, Hossein Emrani, Shahaboddin GharahveysiProblem statement: The IGFs play an important role in regulating somatic growth according to nutritional conditions. Polymorphisms of IGF gene are reported to be significantly associated with many traits. Approach: In these study 142 samples of DNA from Zel sheep were used for detecting the polymorphisms of promoter region of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) gene. Therefore DNA extracted from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 13 Jan 2012 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite
