The amount of dissolved sugar was determined by the accelerated dichromate method at a wavelength of 630-570 nm. The amount of protein was determined on SP 2000 spectrophotometers at wavelengths of 230 and 260 nm . Studies have shown that in all varieties of tomatoes grown in red light, there is a slight decrease in the amount of protein during exposure to red light, an increase in the amount of photosynthetic pigments and soluble carbohydrates. In the leaves of all studied plants, an increase in carbohydrate content was noted under red light, while blue light stimulated protein synthesis in tomato leaves.","PeriodicalId":7194,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Studies in Biology","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83450423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Significance of the theoretical concept of ``Gene Maturation Clock'' and Attempts to further clarify it","authors":"R. Santhoshkumar","doi":"10.12988/asb.2022.91456","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12988/asb.2022.91456","url":null,"abstract":"This article explains the merits and significance of the “gene maturation clock’. In addition an attempt is made to resolve the complexities and confusions of the original article. This includes “0” to “100% clockwise direction”, “100” to 0% anticlockwise”, “silent condition” and “On” and “Off” conditions. The resulting features of these four conditions are described in great detail here. The previous article explained that when a clockwise movement occurs (when a gene moves from 0 percent to 100 percent) a particular quality increases over time. The article goes on to say that this is a positive movement in living things. But this article tries to explain that this kind of movement is not always good for living things. The second condition is that a specific quality decreases over time when an anticlockwise movement occurs (when a gene moves from 100 percent to Zero percent). The article goes on to say that this is a negative movement in living things. But this article tries to explain that this kind of movement is not always negative for living things. The third condition is the silent condition. This only happens after a particular character has reached one hundred percent. This is, if the gene continues to move clockwise even after reaching 100%, it will go directly 0%. As a result, that particular trait disappears very quickly from a person. Fourth, the article describes two situations, i.e. “On” and “Off” conditions. Both of these situations will be after a particular character reaches one hundred percent. If the gene transfer takes will not be passed on to the next generation. But if the gene is passed on in the “On” state, that particular trait can be passed on to the next generation. But overtime, that particular trait is likely to diminish. This article describes it in great detail. All four of these conditions can be experienced as good or bad in individuals in one way or another. That is, the outcome depends on the “behaviour” that can be transmitted. With this theory, we can understand how much a person’s behavior will change in the future. More precisely, if we observe the previous two or three generations of person, we can know for sure whether a trait that existed in that person at that time will increase or decrease. An example of this is the ability of the father of a famous singer to sing and the different abilities of his two children. The famous singer is more talented than his father, but one of his two sons sings well, but the other son does not want to sing. This article explains the reasons for these differences. Furthermore, the section describing the significance of this article in detail and it relates to a person’s life.","PeriodicalId":7194,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Studies in Biology","volume":"46 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90044155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifteen samples of Disporopsis (leaves and tubers) were collected in the fifteen different communes of five districts in Ha Giang province. The samples were sequenced by amplifying the trnH-psbA locus in the chloroplast. All sequence data were compared with the reference genes published in NCBI. The results showed a significantly high genetic similarity among the fifteen samples, ranging from 98.5%-100%. The genetic similarity factors also ranged from 96.67- 97.48% with reference sample KJ745836.1- D.longifolia, which had been published data. Fifteen samples and references were divided into two main groups. This result shows a close relationship between the studied samples of Disporopsis with the genus D.longifolia . The main chemical components of this species were initially identified, including polysaccha-86 rides, saponins and amino acids. The total polysaccharide content calculated by glucose ranges from 6.94% to 24.0%.

However, this region also has the highest data gaps, particularly in the north-eastern region of Mindanao. Ayoke Island lies at the edge of the Pacific Ocean in Cantilan, Surigao del Sur, North Eastern part of Minadanao, Philippines. Cone snails are distinctive marine animals with growing significance in biomedical research and study due to their conopeptides or conotoxins. This study aimed to account the species of Conidae; Fleming, 1822Family in Ayoke Island. Purposive sampling was employed. Three sampling sites were established. The specimens, both live and fossilized, were collected from the sampling sites by hand-picking during low tide and gleaning, as well as from some locals' collections. Only those that belong to Conidae family were scored. A total of four hundred sixteen (416) cone shells comprising thirty one (31) species belonging to Conidae; Fleming, 1822 family were scored and accounted. Based from the relative abundance, two (2) species namely, Conus frigidus Reeve, 1848 and Conus retifer Menke, 1829 were uncommon in the sampling stations.

The maple syrup urine disease is accompanied with full or partial disorder of enzyme activity, participating in the metabolism of three amino acids as valine, leucine and isoleucine. If the process of valine, leucine and isoleucine metabolism is interrupted, then stockpiling and decay happens in the body. Decay products of those amino acids are evacuated from the body and are toxic. These toxins relate to biogenic amines – ptomaine. The presence of maple syrup metabolic disorder by biochemical and molecular genetic methods in Azerbaijan population confirms the importance of screening test of newborns for the respective disease. Homozygous substitution of adenine by guanine mutation has been found in DBT (dihydrolipoamide branched-chain transacylase) gene at 1199 nucleotide position (p. N400S 1199 A (Adenine) G (Guanine)). No mutations were identified in BCKDHA (branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1, alpha polypeptide) and 2 Huseynova Lala Samaddin and Hagverdiyeva Raya Rustam BCKDHB (branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1, beta polypeptide) genes. The identified mutation (1199 A (Adenine)-G (Guanine)) is a new mutation and has not been included in any literature. This mutation disrupts the metabolism of Valine, Leucine and Isoleucine amino acids and leads to maple syrup disease. For the diagnosis of maple syrup metabolic disorder the amount of valine, leucine and isoleucine amino acids was evaluated in the urine and plasma and the comparison of obtained results revealed that plasma analysis was more informative.","PeriodicalId":7194,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Studies in Biology","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76191119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
