HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractCan Anthocyanins be Part of the Metal Homeostasis Network in Plant?Marco LandiAnthocyanins are a class of flavonoids with a high level of diversification and likely the most studied pathway of secondary metabolism in Plantae. Anthocyanins have raised a growing interest due to the huge variability of their chemical structures and the more new anthocyanins are isolated from plants, the more questions on their evolutionary and ecological meaning they raise. Antioxidant, photoprotection … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 8,568 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBRASSINOSTEROIDS IN BREEDING TECHNOLOGIES HEALTHCARE POTATONatalia Nikolaevna Koposova, Olga Veniaminovna Shtyrlina, Irina Pavlovna Uromova et al.The regulator of anti-stress action Epin-Extra (24-epibrassinolide) was tested in laboratory and field (protected ground) conditions. The aim of this research was to study the influence of growth regulators on the growth, development and productivity of improved initial promising varieties of potato: Native (cultivated varieties Udacha) and foreign (cultivated varieties Red Scarlett) selections obtained by the method of apical meristem … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 28 Aug 2014 · 7,322 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResponses in Nitrogen Mass and Nitrogen Metabolism of Wild Sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) UV-B Radiation Under Field ConditionsYanqun Zu, Yuan Li, Haiyun Wang, Yongmei HeField experiments were conducted to evaluate effects of enhanced UV-B radiation (280-315 nm) on intraspecific responses in nitrogen mass and nitrogen metabolism of six wild sugarcane (Saccharum spontaneum L.) clones. The clones were collected from original sites with different altitudes (4-1780 m above sea-level) and latitudes (18-38°N). The supplemental UV-B radiation was 5.00 kJ⋅m-2, simulating a depletion of 20% stratospheric … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 7 Jan 2014 · 6,656 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRETRACTED: Analysis of Interfering Substances in the Measurement of Malondialdehyde Content in Plant LeavesYunSheng Wang, MaoDi Ding, XunGang Gu et al.The Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) reactive substances assay is an easy and quick assay for the assessment in plants of lipid peroxidation, in which Malondialdehyde (MDA) is derivatized. To analyze the applicability of this method, the MDA concentrations in the leaves of different plants were measured by the TBA method. To further separate the interfering substances, fractional extraction and Gas Chromatography-Mass … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 9,288 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPossibility and Evidence-Based Reliability Analysis and Design OptimizationHong-Zhong Huang, Liping He, Yu Liu et al.Engineering design under uncertainty has gained considerable attention in recent years. A great multitude of new design optimization methodologies and reliability analysis approaches are put forth with the aim of accommodating various uncertainties. Uncertainties in practical engineering applications are commonly classified into two categories, i.e., aleatory uncertainty and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory uncertainty arises because of unpredictable variation in the performance … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2013 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhosphorus Biogeochemical Cycling in a Sugar Cane AgroecosystemD. Sequera, D. Lopez-HernandezThe annual harvest of sugarcane plantations together with the burning of the crop before harvest, a common practice of management of sugarcane plantations in South America, leads to the loss of significant amounts of nutrients in those agroecosystems. Thus prescribed burning operations could progressively diminish the level of soil organic matter and increase nutrient deficiency in soils of sugar cane … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Jan 2013 · 7,544 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCoscinium Fenestratum Protects Against Ethanol-Induced Neurodegeneration in Adult Rat BrainWathita Phachonpai, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Panakaporn Wannanon et al.Alcoholism is a serious problem throughout the world. Despite intensive efforts to develop novel therapeutics for strategy efficacy against neuronal loss leading to memory impairment in alcoholism is still limited. In view of the pitfalls of psychological dependence and adverse behavioral effects of synthetic drugs, the development of low toxicity and high efficiency medicines derived from natural herbal antioxidants exhibits … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Aug 2012 · 8,602 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDistribution, Arrangement and Interconnectedness of Cell Surface Receptor sites in the body of an OrganismUtoh-Nedosa, Uchechukwu AnastasiaCell surface receptors have been identified as the sites of disease infectivity in living organisms in a previous study. Drugs used for the treatment or cure of infections have to eliminate infections through attacking infective organisms at the cell surface receptors to which the infective organisms are attached. Problem statement: The present study examines a wide sample of living things … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 26 Jan 2012 · 7,355 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWhy the Dogs of the Dow Bark Loudly in ChinaCarol Wang, James E. Larsen, Fall M. Ainina et al.Problem statement: The Dogs of the Dow (Dow Dogs) strategy, which has gained widespread popularity in the U.S., is found to be considerably successful in China’s stock markets. This trading strategy contradicts the well-established efficient market hypothesis. Approach: This study examines the cross-sectional variations in the magnitude of the predictive power of the Dow Dogs strategy using Chinese stocks for … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 4 Nov 2011 · 8,019 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Characterization and Variation in the Total Content of Reducing Sugars in Wild Populations of Agave angustifolia HawMartin Esqueda, Aldo Gutierrez, Guadalupe Palomino et al.Problem statement: Bacanora, a spirit, is distilled from wild populations of Agave angustifolia Haw. Loss of biodiversity must be taken into account when proposing sustainable management actions for this resource. In this study we identified the morphological variants of this species, as well as the weight and Total Content of Reducing Sugars (TRS) in the stem of the agave. Approach: … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 8,553 accessesView PDFCite
