Rhizosecretion of recombinant pharmaceuticals from in vitro hydroponic transgenic plant cultures is a simple, low cost, reproducible and controllable production method. Here, we demonstrate the application and adaptation of this manufacturing platform to a human antivitronectin IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) called M12. The rationale for specific growth medium additives was established by pheno...

We investigated the effect of selenium form and dose on the total glutathione and non-protein -SH group contents in the edible spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and ground tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants. Our experiments were carried out in a hydroponic culture. Selenium was added to the culture medium in its selenite (Na2SeO3 x 5H2O) and selenate (Na2SeO4) forms. Regardless of the s...

Anthers of Nicotiana tabacum cultivar Wisconsin 38 were treated with the mutagen ethyl methane sulfonate and cultured to obtain populations of haploid plants of high genetic variability. The selection of these populations by their photosynthetic efficiency was carried out in a hydroponic culture chamber with a CO(2) atmosphere concentration close to the compensation point. Plants that survived ...

This paper describes the potential of aquaponic as a poverty eradication tool in Malaysia. Although Malaysia is recognized as a developed country, poverty is still occurring among Malaysian, especially from rural area. Therefore, aquaponic – a modern farming system is being introduced to benefit the low income family. Aquaponic is the term that described the synergistic combination of aquacultu...

The aim of the study was to determine the changes in suspension particle size identified in biologically treated wastewater, which was then treated in hydroponic system with use of engineering lighting by the light-emitting diodes (LED). The study was subjected to wastewater purified under laboratory conditions, in a hydroponic system using the effect of macrophytes Pistia stratiotes and growin...
