This curriculum vitae is for Safaa Adly Mohamed Morsy Saad, an Egyptian national who works as an Assistant Researcher at the National Research Centre in Cairo, Egypt. She received her B.Sc. in Biochemistry from Benha University in 2008 and her M.Sc. degree in 2015 with a thesis titled "Biochemical studies on Jatropha plant". Her research focuses on phytochemistry and the biological activity of secondary metabolites from medicinal plants, including their anticancer, antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral properties. She has authored or co-authored 7 publications on her research with Jatropha curcas extracts.
Analysis of Seed Proteins in Groundnut Cultivars (Arachis hypogaea L.)IJERA Editor
The seed protein contents and protein banding pattern were studied in commonly cultivated groundnut cultivars.
The groundnut cultivars such as ICGV00351, TMV-7, CO-4,CO-6 and TG-374 were used for quantitative and
qualitative analysis of seed proteins. The protein contents varied among the different varieties of groundnut. The
maximum protein content was observed in CO-6 followed by CO-4, TMV-7, ICGV00351 and TG-374. There
was a slight differences in protein content among the different cultivars. All the five cultivars of groundnut were
subjected to SDS-PAGE analysis. The results revealed that the variation in total number of bands and MW-Rf
values. The maximum number of MW-Rf value was noticed in TG-374 and ICGV00351, and the minimum
MW-Rf value was 11 recorded in CO-6 and TMV-7.

Micropropagation is applied to multiply those species which are difficult to produce conventionally. The purpose of this study was to access in vitro propagation of Hoya kerrii, an important ornamental plant to explore its potential for micro-propagation. Microprogation of Hoya kerrii was initiated using leaf, petiole, root and inter-nodal segments of the selected plant as explants on MS medium containing 2,4-D at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mg/L for callus induction. Leaf segments initiated callus earlier than inter-node, petiole and root. A significant amount of callus was produced in MS medium with 5.0 mg/L 2, 4-D and MS medium with 1.0 mg/L 2, 4-D gave the poorest callus.
