Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NAPIN PROMOTER ACTIVATES GENE EXPRESSION IN DEVELOPING SEEDS OF LESQUERELLA FENDLERIGrace Q. Chen, Jiann-Tsyh LinLesquerella fendleri produces industrial useful Hydroxy Fatty Acids (HFA) in seed oil. To improve oil and HFA of L. fendleri, it is desirable to use of seed-specific promoters to control the expression of target genes by genetic engineering. A seed-specific promoter fragment, -397 to -1 of a napin gene (PnapA) from Brassic napus was isolated by PCR and constructed to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2012 · 7,890 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransformation of Lesquerella Fendleri with the New Binary Vector pGPro4-35SGrace Q. Chen, Roger Thilmony, Jiann-Tsyh LinProblem statement: Crop genetic engineering requires the use of various promoters to control the expression of introduced transgenes. Some of the binary vectors currently available for promoter characterization in dicotyledonous plants have pitfalls due to their construction, such as containing a selectable marker cassette with enhancer sequences that can potentially interfere with the expression specificity of nearby promoters. Also, many … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Jan 2012 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodegradation of Phenolic Compounds in Creosote Treated Wood Waste by a Composting Microbial Culture Augmented with the Fungus Thermoascus aurantiacusAbdel E. Ghaly, Bopeng Zhang, Deepika DaveProblem statement: Creosote is used as a wood preservative and water proof agent in railway sleepers, utility poles, buildings foundations and fences and garden furniture. It is a mixture of over 300 hydrocarbons which include 75% polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 2-17% phenolic compounds and 10-18% heterocyclic organic compounds. Exposure to creosote may result in several health problems including damage to kidney, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 Aug 2011 · 9,446 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgent Technology Application Strategies in Personal and Team Software Process EnvironmentRusli Abdullah, Amir Mohamed Talib, Erizal Kamal MisranProblem statement: Modern system development emphasize on the use of standard and procedures to ensure the system develop meets user needs and of high quality. Standards such as Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), Software Process Improvement and Capability determination (SPICE) and ISO/IEC 90003:2004 are introduced. Personal Software Process (PSP) focusing on improving the individual engineer tasks in software development activities … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 27 May 2011 · 8,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlowering and Fruit Set Under Malaysian Climate of Jatropha curcas L.Noor Camellia Noor Alam, Thohirah Lee Abdullah, Nur Ashikin Psyquay AbdullahProblem statement: In recent years Jatropha curcas has drawn the world’s attention as it has the potential to replace fossil fuel as biodiesel. However, the biggest setback in Jatropha cultivation in Malaysia is the low percentage of fruit set and the high ratio of male to female flowers. In order to further understand the flowering and fruit characteristics of Jatropha, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 9,829 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 · 8,484 accessesView PDFCite
