Purple corn is a cereal plant that has health benefits. contains anthocyanins, which are useful as anticancer and antioxidants, high nutritional value. Improving the quality of production can be done through breeding. This study aimed to determine value variability, heritability expected genetic advance F3 purple from open-pollinated hybridization. The research was conducted December 2020 April...

Introgression breeding is a widely used method for the genetic improvement of crop plants; however, the mechanism underlying candidate gene flow patterns during hybridization is poorly understood. In this study, we used a powerful pipeline to investigate a Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) introgression line with the anthocyanin overaccumulation phenotype. Our purpose was to an...

Purple sulfur bacteria are photosynthetic, anaerobic microorganisms that fix carbon dioxide using hydrogen sulfide as an electron donor; many are also nitrogen fixers. Because of t h e ~ r requirements for sulfide or orgamc carbon as electron donors in anoxygenic photosynthesis, these bacteria are generally thought to be l im~ted to shallow, organic-nch, anoxic environments such as subtidal mar...

The presence of purple bacteria in manure storage lagoons is often associated with reduced odors. In this study, our objectives were to determine the occurrence of purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) in seven dairy wastewater lagoons and to identify possible linkages between wastewater properties and purple blooms. Community DNA was extracted from composited wastewater samples, and a conservative 16S ...

Emotional reactions to color hue, saturation, and brightness (Munsell color system and color chips) were investigated using the Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance emotion model. Saturation (S) and brightness (B) evidenced strong and consistent effects on emotions. Regression equations for standardized variables were; Pleasure = .69B + .22S, Arousal = -.31B + .60S, Dominance = -.76B + .32S. Brightness e...

bacteriorhodopsin operates as a light/proton transfer pump which converts the light energy into a proton gradient. energy stored in the proton gradient can be used in a variety of ways. bacteriorhodopsin producing sources are some halobacterium species such as halobacterium sodomense and halobacterium salinarum which continue to grow in harsh and salt-saturated conditions. two types of red pigm...

Three rapid spectrophotometric methods were developed for the determination of sunitinib based on the formation of ion-pair complex in acidic medium with bromocresol purple, bromothymol blue, and bromophenol blue. The formed ion-pair complexes, extractable with chloroform, were measured at 422 nm for bromocresol purple, 425 nm for bromothymol blue and 427 nm for bromophenol blue. All these meth...

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a biopolyester/bioplastic that is produced by a variety of microorganisms to store carbon and increase reducing redox potential. Photosynthetic bacteria convert carbon dioxide into organic compounds using light energy and are known to accumulate PHA. We analyzed PHAs synthesized by 3 purple sulfur bacteria and 9 purple non-sulfur bacteria strains. These 12 purple b...
