Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Endophytic Treatments on Plant Growth Performance and Disease Incidences in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) Cultivar JS-335 against Challenge Inoculation with R. solaniJitendra Dalal, Nikhilesh KulkarniEndophytes could be efficient biological control agent in sustainable crop production and offer unique opportunity for crop protection and biological control. Present study was carried out to investigate the effects of indigenous endophytic microorganisms Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., Burkholderia sp. Streptomyces sp., Actinoplanes sp., Alternaria sp. and Fusarium sp. on plant growth and disease control against challenge inoculation with Rhizoctonia … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2015 · 7,673 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact Assessment of Soil Contamination with Antibiotics (for Example, an Ordinary Chernozem)Yuliya Viktorovna Akimenko, Kamil Shagidullovich Kazeev, Sergey Ilyich KolesnikovThe environmental behavior of antibiotics is not well known and the precise environmental risk assessment is not practical. We studied the impact antibiotics (benzylpenicillin, pharmasin and nystatin) at different concentrations (100 and 600 mg kg-1) on population densities of microorganisms and enzymatic activity of ordinary chernozems in model experiments. The applied doses of antibiotics had definite suppressing effects on population … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2015 · 7,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Streptozotocin-Induced Hyperglycemia on the Progression of Hepatocarcinogenesis in RatsChowdhury Mobaswar Hossain, Bhabani Sankar Satapathy, Laboni Mondal et al.Diabetes mellitus and hepatocellular carcinoma both have detrimental impact on health worldwide. Type II diabetes and liver cancer share many causative factors, but biological correlation between the two diseases still remains elusive. The study was aimed to evaluate the effect of induction of diabetes during the development of hepatocarcinogenesis in rats. Rats were divided into four groups namely, normal control, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2013 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Ambient and Indoor Air Quality in the Building Built on the Former LandfillAnuar Ithnin, Nazipah Zakaria, Nor Azura Sulong et al.Problem statement: The air quality study of PPR Taman Wahyu II, Selayang, Selangor was a residential project that was built on the former landfill site. The landfill site will produce landfill gases which can influence the air quality level in and outside the building. Approach: This air quality study also involving PPR Intan Baiduri, Batu Caves, Selangor as a control … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 21 Jun 2012 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiscovery of Evolutionary Divergence of Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Photosynthesis: Fine Tuning of Biogenesis of the NifH and the ChlL by a Peptidyl-Prolyl Cis/Trans IsomeraseNara Gavini, Sinny Delacroix, Kelvin Harris Jr., Lakshmi PulakatProblem statement: Despite the structural and functional similarities between the nitrogenase that performs biological nitrogen fixation reaction and the Dark Protochlorphyllide Oxidoreductase (DPOR) that performs chlorophyll-biosynthesis, attempts to substitute nitrogenase-components with DPOR-components have hitherto failed. This investigation was undertaken to test if Chlamydomonas reinhardtii protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) reductase (ChlL) that shares some structural similarity with Nitrogenase Reductase (NifH) could complement the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 17 Feb 2012 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation the Effects of Biological Fertilizer on Physiological Characteristic and Yield and its Components of Corn (Zea mays L.) Under Drought StressBarmak Jafari Haghighi, Zeynab Yarmahmodi, Omid AlizadehProblem statement: This experiment was carried out for study the effects of chemical and biological fertilizers and interaction between them on some physiological characteristic and yield and its components of seed corn in two different irrigation. Approach: The experiment was conducted in a split plot factorial with completely randomized block design using four replications. Sub plots consisted of combined application … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,487 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 · 10,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa UPM P3 from Oil Palm RhizosphereBadri Fariman Azadeh, Sariah MeonProblem statement: Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been used in agriculture as biological agents. It has shown substantial control of a variety of soil-borne plant pathogens including Macrophomina phaseolina, Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, Colletotrichum truncatum, Pythium, Fusarium and others. Species aggregate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain UPM P3 was shown to have potential as a biocontrol agent against Ganoderma boninense, the causal agent … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,805 accessesView PDFCite
