Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn Vitro Antagonist Action of Trichoderma Strains Against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Sclerotium cepivorumFrancisco Daniel Hernandez Castillo, Angelica Maria Berlanga Padilla, Gabriel Gallegos Morales et al.Problem statement: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Sclerotium cepivorum are soil pathogens which have generated resistance to synthetic fungicides. One biological alternative to this problem is to select novel strains of Trichoderma with different mechanisms of action against these plant pathogens to ensure efficient control. Approach: In the present research was determined the antagonism effect of Mexicans Trichoderma strains on S. sclerotiorum … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2011 · 9,823 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPotent Antielastase and Antityrosinase Activities of Astilbe chinensisSeung-Hun Lee, Sandesh Sancheti, Shruti Sancheti, Sung-Yum SeoProblem statement: In the current scenario, photo-aging is a major problem causing skin wrinkling and hyperpigmentation. Therefore, elastase and tyrosinase inhibitors play an important role in the treatment of skin aging and thus, gaining a special attention in cosmetic industries. Approach: In the screening of Korean medicinal plants to search the potent elastase and tyrosinase inhibitors, the extract of the … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,777 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of the Use of Rice Bran Compost for Eco-friendly Weed Control in Organic Farming SystemsM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.Rice bran compost (RC) was evaluated under greenhouse and field conditions for eco-friendly weed control of vegetable crops in organic farming systems. RC was applied 7 days before spinach seed sowing, at the rate of 0% (control), 10%, 20% and 30% of soil (v/v) in the greenhouse and 2 kg m-2 under field conditions. RC significantly controlled the number and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,927 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of the Upland Weed Control Potentiality of Green Tea Waste-Rice Bran Compost and Its Effect on Spinach GrowthM.A.I. Khan, K. Ueno, S. Horimoto et al.This study evaluated the upland weed control potentiality, germination inhibition ability and growth suppression efficiency of the five combinations of green tea waste - rice bran compost (GRC). GRC was prepared by mixing green tea waste and rice bran at five ratios, and allowed to decompose for 5 mo. Application of GRC suppressed weed growth up to 93.4% in number … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,203 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCorrosion of Copper Metal in Presence of Binary MixturesMedhat A. Shaker, Hanaa H. Abdel-RahmanThe rates of copper corrosion were determined in presence and in absence of different compositions of water-ethanol, -ethylene glycol, -glycerol, -dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and -dioxane binary mixtures. The rates of corrosion were found to decrease by increasing the concentration of solvents. The percent inhibition range from 10.9 to 78.2% depends on the nature of solvent and its concentration. The calculated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2007 · 8,230 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTowards Identifying Immunogenic Targets in Visceral Leishmaniasis: Role of 17kDa and 63kDa PhosphoproteinsShubhankar K Singh, Sanjiva Bimal, Diwakar S. Dinesh et al.We observed predominant phosphorylation at Protein Kinase C (PKC-α) residue in seven immunoreactive proteins of virulent Leishmania donovani parasites. These phosphoproteins were tested for their ability to stimulate T-cells for secretion of Macrophage Migration Inhibition Factor (MIF) in comparision to crude soluble antigen in Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) patients. Two of these phosphorylated L. donovani antigens led Leishmania to present these … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,756 accessesView PDF Cite

The optimal parameters for EOMH extraction were: Extraction time of 7 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 20 Nov 2021 · 5,789 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsResistance in Escherichia coli Strains Isolated from Pig Faecal Samples and Pig farm Workers, GreeceGeorge Valiakos, Alexandros Vontas, Constantina N. Tsokana et al.In this study, we compare the degree of antibiotic resistance between the E. coli strains isolated from swine faecal and farm workers. Resistance in nine widely used antibiotics was assessed by the determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration. Sixty-four out of 72 E. coli isolates derived from pigs and sixty out of 72 derived from farm workers showed resistance to at … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2016 · 7,505 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign and Synthesis of Diaminotriazines as Anti-Tuberculosis DHFR InhibitorsArundhati C Lele, Archana Raju, M.K. Ray et al.A series of novel 2,4 diamino-s-triazine was designed as potential Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Dihydro folate reductase inhibitors. The synthesized compounds were evaluated in whole cells by employing Resazurin Microtitre Plate Assay (REMA) against Mtb H37Rv, using known DHFR inhibitors Methotrexate and Trimethoprim as standard drugs. The most active compound in the whole cell assay was selected for DHFR enzyme assay … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 26 Jan 2015 · 14,716 accessesView PDF Cite
