Abstract: This study conducted in Egypt aims to investigate the cheese and yogurt products’ safety in relation to the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) – a matter of high concern in food supplies. For collection of data, 30 samples from each Feta, Damietta, Kareish cheese and yogurt were randomly gathered from different dairy shops and supermarkets located in Menofia governorate. All these 120 samples were subjected to mycological and molecular identification. The mycological examination revealed that the contaminated samples of Feta cheese, Domietti cheese, Kareish cheese and Yoghurt with molds were 76.67,100, 86.67 and 80%, respectively with mean values of 2.47±0.22, 3.27±0.33, 2.89±0.34 and 2.65±0.35 (log cfu/g), correspondingly. On the other hand, the contaminated samples of Feta cheese, Domietti cheese, Kareish cheese and Yoghurt with yeasts came to be 76.67, 100,100 and 83.33% with mean values of 2.94 ±0.26, 3.43 ±0.50, 4.46±0.59 and 3.47±0.73(log cfu/g), respectively. The identified molds from the examined samples of dairy products of a varying percentage were penicillum, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus terreus, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Rhizopus, and Mucor. Detecting Aspergillus flavus was based on polymerase chain reaction by using specific primers depend on the aflatoxin biosynthesis gene clusters. All A. flavus isolates obtained were positive for the target gene. The findings demonstrated that high percentages of the samples examined did not comply with Egyptian standards, which constituted a high risk to consumer health. For producers as well as the HACCP system (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) thus, safety measures and educational programs must be implemented.

Abstract: The present experiment was conducted to evaluate seasonal changes in population densities of different cotton bollworms like American Bollworm (ABW), Pink Bollworm (PBW) and Spotted bollworms (SBW) found in cotton field of Multan in Southern Punjab, Pakistan from 2014 to 2016. Eggs and adults count of these bollworms were recorded from the start of sowing to harvesting of the crop. The data collected were analyzed statistically and means were compared at 5% significance level. It was observed that population densities of these bollworms (ABW, PBW, SBW) were the lowest in April, May and the highest in September, October every year. The populations of these bollworms can be predicted using some linear regression equations. These findings can be used to set up some effective pest control programs for these chewing bollworms of cotton to minimize economic losses. Biological control program is suggested to check these pests of cotton crop.

Abstract: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is the largest country in Arab Peninsula. However, most of its land is classified as arid or hyper arid with rare vegetation cover. Retama raetam (Retem) is found in the drier parts along the Northern Western region of KSA. Retem is well known as drought tolerant species with wide range of traditional medicinal uses. In order to validate the traditional uses, recently many studies were conducted regarding phytochemical analysis and pharmacological activities. However, very few information about the importance of this species and its profile are available. The aim of this review is to highlight the updated information on the profile and values of this species. R. Raetam is a true arid land plant species with very deep root system, assimilating green branches and small leaves that are drop very quickly to conserve water loss. In addition to that phytochemical profiling of the species revealed many compounds of high pharmacological values such as flavonoids, alkaloids and pinitols. As the result different parts of this plant exhibited medicinal properties such as antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, antihypertensive, diuretic, antiseptic, hypoglycaemic, anti-inflammatory and body weight lowering. This review reflects the importance of including this species in the priority list in KSA as potential multi-uses for degraded land rehabilitation.

Abstract: The king of cereal wheat belongs to poaceace family. It is a staple food of Pakistan. Total area of wheat cultivation in the world is about 13.4 billion hectares. Wheat is the most cultivated crop of the world and according to world agriculture report of 2014 it is grown on 220 million hectares worldwide. In agronomy its fruit is termed as caryopsis. There are almost more than 30 wheat varieties have been developed in Pakistan which are being cultivated throughout the country. Pakistan has also more than 30 wheat varieties that are cultivated across the country. Each variety has its own requirement of water and nutrients. In our research we have used six wheat varieties of the Punjab that are Inqalab-91, shafaq-06, Faisalabad-08, galaxy-13, Ujala-16 and anaj-17 to grow. For our current research study two concentration of NaCl i.e. 10 dS/m and 15 dS/m were prepared. Content of two different ions were checked in all six varieties and those ions are sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+). It was noted that there were significant concentration of sodium ion (Na+) in roots, shoots and leaves of all six varieties. Highest Na+/K+ ratio in leaves was found in Galaxy-13 under treatment of 15 dS/m NaCl. And under treatment of 10dS/m highest Na+/K+ ratio in leaves was recorded in Galaxy-13 too.

Abstract: The present study was conducted to access the salt (NaCl) and drought effects on maize genotypes. Three maize genotypes viz., P1429, L5971 and L6103 were grown in pots filled with pure sand. One concentration of NaCl 0.50mMolar and 50% drought were used to access the effects of NaCl drought on maize genotype. The 10 seeds of each maize genotype were sown in each pot and were let to germinate. After 7 days of germination the seedlings were started to give the treatments of salt and drought for collection of data for different parameters including dry and fresh shoot weights, root and leaf weight, shoot, root and leaf length. The data was collected four times after every 7 days. The data was statistically analyzed for analysis of variation to find out the association of variation among the studied traits. It was found from our study that different level of stress condition like salt (NaCl) and drought varies in these three genotypes or varieties; however it was also found that NaCl effect on the water scarcity for plants was low. A noteworthy increase in the length of roots was observed under drought stress as compared to salt stress where all growth traits performed well under NaCl stress. The combined statistical analysis showed that genotype L6103 performed better under NaCl, control and drought stress conditions. Due to this reason we can use hybrid 6103 genotype to surge the grain yield and fodder of Zea mays under drought salt, normal as well as under drought stress conditions.

Abstract. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer and nowadays very few therapeutic options are available for its treatment. Interestingly, G-protein coupled receptor 161 (GPR161), is expressed in TNBC cells, and can activate the mammalian target of the rapamycin complex 1 signaling pathway. GPR161 and Ras GTPase-activating-like protein, a protein involved in intracellular signaling, proliferation, and cellular adhesion, have been shown to genetically interact in human breast cancer cells. Targeting of GPR161 by monoclonal antibodies may therefore be a strategy to develop diagnostics and therapeutics for TNBC. Thus, to obtain such monoclonal antibodies, we synthesized the GPR161 gene de novo, cloned it into the pET32 expression plasmid and used the recombinant plasmid to transform the competent BL21 (DE3) strain of Escherichia coli. The recombinant GPR161 gene was designed to contain an N-terminal thioredoxin tag, a thrombin site, the GPR161 sequence, and a C-terminal hexa-histidine tag to facilitate purification by metal-affinity chromatography. Following purification of the recombinant GPR161 (rGPR161) protein using a HisTrap column, we characterized the protein by western blotting and mass spectrometry. The rGPR161 protein had a molecular mass of ~49 kDa and its identity as rGPR161 was confirmed by mass spectrometry data using the SwissProt database and the Mascot program. Future studies will involve the development of monoclonal antibodies using rGPR161 as the immunogen.
