Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Production of Glycosylated and Non-Glycosylated Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antigen 85B Fused to PVX Coat Protein in Nicotiana benthamiana PlantsPablo A. González, Franco D. Puccio, Alicia M. ZeladaThe development of alternative subunit based-vaccines against tuberculosis is necessary due to variable efficiency and some security concerns of the BCG vaccine. The aim of this work was evaluate the production of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag85B antigen fused to Potato Virus X Coat Protein (PVX-CP) by transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana for subunit-based tuberculosis vaccine formulation. A codon-optimized M. tuberculosis … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2018 · 9,976 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Selected Properties of Starchy Vegetables on Grating and Slicing Production RateLok Chung Yee, M.K. Siti Mazlina, B.T. Hang TuahPrediction on the output of grating and slicing of starchy vegetables are important prior to design or develop the particular food plant. The production rate of grating and slicing products could be affected by the properties of starchy vegetables. In this study, two selected properties which hardness and moisture content are studied. Hardness of selected starchy vegetables was measured using … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2012 · 7,666 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 abstractEvaluation of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycete) Isolates and their Effects on Subterranean Termite Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)Pik-Kheng Hoe, Choon-Fah J. Bong, Kadir Jugah, Amartalingam RajanProblem statement: Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is a common termite pest found in oil palm plantation planted on peat. Currently, the control methods focus on using insecticides that lead to high cost and adverse effect to the environment. Approach: Biological control like the use of entomopathogens provides an alternative control method for termite infestation problem. However, several factors need to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 10,542 accessesView PDFCite
