Three levels of water stress were determined as a percentage of field water capacity 100, 75 and 50% and four concentrations of salicylic acid (SA) as foliar spray 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 mM were used, as well as two irrigation interval rates (every 4 th and 7 th days were applied. The results showed that spraying SA with low concentration i.e., 0.1-0.4 mM led to improve the vegetative growth and oil yield of sweet basil plants under water stress.

Research data were collected from 745 respondents using a personal interview questionnaire . The results show that the respondents have an excellent understanding of coastal and maritime tourism. Non-beach tourism activities were among the most relevant tourism initiatives aimed at developing the marine and coastal economies in Alexandria, which leads to a competitive and sustainable economy at the same time. The most important obstacles to the competitiveness of the coastal and marine tourism sub-sector were those related to seasonality, sustainability, and innovation. The necessity of having a plan that protects the natural and physical environments was also given a high priority by the respondents.

Moreover, lignin acts as a line of defense for plants against biotic and abiotic stresses. In the field of plant biotechnology, particle bombardment remains the most important technique to directly transfer DNA from source to target organ and the most widely used method to generate transgenic plants for commercial purposes. Down-regulation of Jatropha curcas's lignin-producing caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene production pathway led the transgenic plants to develop cell walls. The transgene COMT antisense is used as a selection marker pZMAS-COMT 10,907 bp plasmid (University of Illinois) to confer resistance to glufosinate herbicides under the 35S promoter. Irradiation of embryonic callus with bullet particles introduced the COMT antisense gene and reduced the amount of lignin. Transgenic green callus was used to extract DNA, RNA, and PCR & RT-PCR were performed to detect the presence of genes. A positive sharp band appeared in the green callus, indicating that the gene expression level was downregulated compared to the control. Transgenic shoots and green callus had lower lignin content compared to controls.","PeriodicalId":7560,"journal":{"name":"Alexandria Science Exchange Journal","volume":"1 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140362423","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}

Lectins from the leguminous plants Glycine max (GML) and Phaseoulus vulgaries (PhVL) were tested for their entomotoxic and growth inhibitory effects against the spiny bollworm (SBW), Earias insulana Boisd. The impact of the examined lectins on the two digestive enzymes of SBW, α-amylase and total proteases, was also investigated. Bioassay studies conducted on second-instar larvae over five and six days showed that GML (LC 50 values of 72.22 and 33.45 µg/gm diet) was more hazardous than PhVL (LC 50 = 299.05 and 182.91 µg/gm diet). GML and PhVL at LC 25 equivalent concentrations (8.97 and 34.43 µg/gm diet) significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the larval weight to 24.9 and 27.4 mg / larva compared with 55.3 mg / larva in control after 9 days of treatment. The average time for SBW larvae to pupate increased when GML and PhVL were added at LC 10 and LC 25 in comparison to the control. In addition, the tested lectins significantly (p < 0.05) reduced pupal mean weight, pupation, adult emergence, fecundity and fertility. Tested lectins demonstrated significant inhibition of α-amylase and total protease enzyme activity in larvae of SBWs fed on diets containing concentrations comparable to LC 10 and LC 25 . These findings imply that GML and PhVL are appropriate proteins to add to the cotton plant's DNA in order to control SBW.","PeriodicalId":7560,"journal":{"name":"Alexandria Science Exchange Journal","volume":"46 23","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140362060","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}

In this study, the ratios of substitution were 5, 10, 15 and 20% (wt/wt). Physicochemical properties, texture profile, organoleptic properties, microbial quality and economic efficiency of the UF-FCA were studied along 60 days of refrigeration storage (6±2°C). Inclusion of DSWPP caused significant differences (p≤0.05) in physicochemical properties of UF-FCA. Dry matter content and pH values were decreased, while significant increase was observed in total protein, water soluble nitrogen, and titratable acidity values as compared to control. Moreover, significant differences were observed in texture parameters among all UF-FCA treatments. The values of hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness were decreased, whereas adhesiveness values were increased as compared to control. Organoleptic properties of UF-FCA with or without DSWPP were acceptable by the panelists. Cheese samples contained 15% DSWPP were the most preferred among all treatments. The microbial quality was satisfactory for all cheese treatments. The cold storage for 60 days led to different changes in UF-FCA properties.
