This document discusses the benefits of studying plant and animal cell engineering. It argues that this field can solve problems with overpopulation and underpopulation by growing food and organs. It also claims cell engineering can improve public health, lengthen lives, protect the environment, and bring back extinct species. However, it notes there are also ethical issues regarding who controls this technology and information. It discusses using cells for organ regeneration, drug production, and as bioreactors. While cloning cells could provide body parts and insurance, it raises bioethical concerns that must be addressed.

Seed germination
This document discusses seed germination. It begins by describing seed maturation and dormancy, where seeds undergo dehydration and metabolic changes to enter a dormant state. It then discusses the structures that maintain dormancy like the seed coat and chemical inhibitors. Germination occurs when dormancy is broken through changes in the seed's physical state and environment. The key stages of germination are imbibition, respiration, and mobilization of food reserves through enzymatic breakdown to provide nutrients and energy for embryonic growth. Germination ends with the rupture of the seed coat and emergence of the seedling.
Impact of Genetically Modified Food on Human Health
Any nutritious substance that people or animals eat or drink or those plants absorb in order to maintain life and growth is called Food. With the huge increasing population of the world, food production from natural resources could not meet their needs. So researchers move to produce more food using molecular-level techniques. This type of food is called genetically modified food (GM food), whose genetic material has been altered which is not present already in nature. GM food is made to increase nutrient content by alternation, has many advantages for humans as it increases the nutritional content and formation of pest, drought, herbicide, and cold resistant plants. But at the same time, it has negative impacts also. It is genetically unsafe, causing organ damage and allergic reactions in the digestive tract. The researchers are trying to do their best to produce crops with their desired characteristics by using molecular-level techniques.
Agriculture science past paper
The document provides questions for an exam on agricultural topics. It asks the test taker to answer any three of the following questions:
1) Define the term "photoperiodism" and name two crops affected by it.
2) Describe two fertilizer application methods and give an example crop for each.
3) Explain how organic manure improves soil fertility in three ways and how soil fertility can be affected by waterlogged conditions in three ways. Also explain three benefits of applying lime to soil.
The questions cover additional topics like propagation techniques, land preparation best practices, land capability classes, vegetable crop management during different rainfall periods, seedbed preparation activities, growing mediums and benefits of
Temperature tolerance
Being sessile, plants are constantly exposed to changes in temperature and other abiotic stress factors. The temperature stress experienced by plants can be classified into three types: those occurring at (a) temperature below freezing (b) low temperature above freezing and (c) high temperature. The plants must adapt to them in other ways. The biological substances that are deeply related to these stresses, such as heat shock proteins, glycine betaine as a compatible solute, membrane lipids etc.and also detoxifiers of active oxygen species, contribute to temperature stress tolerance in plants. Rapid advances in Molecular Genetic approaches have enabled genes to be cloned, both from prokaryotes and directly from plants themselves, that are thought to provide the key to the mechanism of temperature adaptation (Iba et al., 2002).
The accumulation of heat shock proteins under the control of heat stress transcription factors is assumed to play a central role in the heat stress response and in acquired thermotolerance in plants (Kotak et al., 2007). The pattern of protein synthesis during cold acclimation is very dissimilar to the heat shock proteins in many ways. Different low temperature stress proteins, such as Anti-freeze proteins or thermal hysteresis proteins (THPs) and cold shock domain proteins etc. are accumulated in plant cell and are frequently correlated with enhanced cold tolerance ( Guy, 1999).
The heat stress-induced dehydrin proteins (DHNs) expression and their relationship with the water relations of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) leaves were studied to investigate the adaptation to heat stress in plants (Wahid and Close, 2007). In order to get an in vitro evidence of Hsc70 functioning as a molecular chaperone during cold stress, a cold-inducible spinach cytosolic Hsc70 was subcloned into a protein expression vector and the recombinant protein was expressed in bacterial cells. Results suggest that the molecular chaperone Hsc70 may have a functional role in plants during low temperature stress (Zhang and Guy, 2006). To analyze the least and most strongly interacting stress with Hsps and Hsfs, a transcriptional profiling of Arabidopsis Hsps and Hsfs has been done (Swindell et al., 2007).
As plants receive complex of stress factors together, therefore in future research, emphasis should be placed on such cases where tolerance is attempted to different stress factors simultaneously by employing sophisticated techniques.

Photosynthetic organelle and its role in crop improvement
Chloroplasts are organelles specializing in the conversion of radiant energy to chemical energy. The chloroplast is involved in photosynthesis and consequently cells that contain chloroplasts are autotrophic, which means that they are able to make their own food from inorganic molecules by using the radiant energy of sunlight. The chloroplast converts the radiant energy of the sun into chemical energy by producing organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. The individual reactions of photosynthesis span times from femtoseconds to hours and can be divided into two major groups, reactions that require light directly and reactions that do not require light directly. Chloroplasts contain the single most important pigment on earth, i.e., chlorophyll. They impart the characteristic green colour to plants and carry out photosynthesis, the ultimate source of all organic compounds. Chloroplasts are typically biconvex lens-shaped of about 5 u diameter and 3 µ thickness. However, they exhibit a large variation is size and shape. An average cell may have 20-40 chloroplasts. but some algae, e.g. Chlamydomonas, have a single chloroplast per cell. The average chemical composition of chloroplasts may be as follows: protein 50-59 per cent, lipid 21-34 per cent, chlorophyll 5-8 per cent. carotenoids 0.7-1.1 per cent, RNA 1-7.5 per cent, and DNA 0.2-1 per cent. Chlorophyll and carotenoid molecules are associated with chloroplast thylakoid membranes.
Seed dormancy (Plant Physiology)
Seed dormancy is defined as a state in which seeds are prevented from germinating even under environmental conditions normally favorable for germination.
These conditions are a complex combination of water, light, temperature, gasses, mechanical restrictions, seed coats, and hormone structures.Seed is a ripe and fertilized ovule that encloses an embryo
It is the connecting link between parents and progeny.
Structurally seeds have four major components,
Seed coat or a protective envelope
Embryo
Reserve food and minerals which provide nourishment
Enzymes and hormones for the digestion of food and formation of new tissues during germination
SEED GERMINATION
This document discusses seed germination, including the definition, requirements, types, phases, and physiological processes. It can be summarized as follows:
1) Seed germination is defined as the process beginning with water uptake by the dry seed and ending with the emergence of the embryonic axis, usually the radicle, from surrounding tissue.
2) Requirements for seed germination include water, gases, temperature, and light. There are two types of seed germination: epigeal and hypogeal.
3) Seed germination involves three phases - imbibition, a lag phase, and mobilization of food reserves. During these phases, stored resources like starch and proteins are broken down and utilized.

Effect of temp
High temperatures negatively impact crop growth, development, and yield through various mechanisms. Temperatures above certain thresholds can reduce photosynthesis, accelerate senescence, decrease pollen viability and fertility, and shorten grain filling duration. This leads to lower seed set, grain weight, and overall crop yields. Rice is particularly sensitive to high temperatures during flowering and grain filling stages, which can induce spikelet sterility and reduce grain quality and weight, causing significant yield losses.
Low temp. stress
Low temperature stress in plants can be caused by chilling or freezing temperatures. Chilling stress occurs between 0-15°C and can cause physiological disorders and chilling injury symptoms like reduced growth, leaf lesions, and increased susceptibility to decay. Freezing stress below 0°C damages cell structures through ice crystal formation and causes symptoms like foliage desiccation and weakened roots. Both stresses impact plant metabolism and photosynthesis. Plants have mechanisms like certain genes and calcium signaling pathways that enhance their tolerance to low temperatures.

Salt stress in fruit
The document discusses salt stress in perennial fruit plants. It notes that salt stress affects 7% of the world's land area and is a problem for agricultural lands that are heavily irrigated. Salt stress can reduce plant germination, photosynthesis, vegetative growth, and reproductive growth/yield. Plants have developed various tolerance mechanisms including salt avoidance, exclusion, excretion, and osmotic adjustment using organic solutes and antioxidant defenses. Traditional approaches to managing salt stress include better irrigation practices and leaching excess salts from soils. Developing salt tolerant rootstocks and fruit varieties through conventional and biotechnological methods can also help cope with salt stress.
Pollination ppt
The document discusses two main types of pollination: autogamy (self-pollination) and allogamy (cross-pollination). Autogamy occurs when a pollen grain is transferred from the anther to the stigma of the same flower and is promoted by traits like bisexuality, homogamy, cleistogamy, and chasmogamy. Allogamy involves transfer of pollen between different plants and is encouraged by dicliny, dichogamy, heterostyly, herkogamy, and self-incompatibility. The mode of pollination influences plant breeding by affecting gene action, genetic constitution, adaptability, genetic purity, and gene transfer.
Advantages and disadvantages of GM crops
This document summarizes key crops that are genetically modified, including corn, cotton, tomato, potato, rice, canola, and soybeans. It lists the countries where these GM crops are grown, the traits that have been modified, the targeted insects or herbicides, advantages and potential disadvantages. Some advantages included pest resistance, virus/bacteria resistance, longer shelf life, and increased nutrients. Potential disadvantages encompassed the rise of resistant super pests/weeds, risks of antibiotic resistance gene transfer, unknown long term health effects, and loss of seed saving abilities.
GA Germination
The document discusses how gibberellic acid (GA) promotes germination in barley grains. When a barley grain absorbs water, it stimulates the embryo to produce GA. The GA travels to the aleurone layer below the seed coat where it causes cells to secrete the enzyme alpha-amylase into the endosperm. The alpha-amylase then breaks down the starch stores in the endosperm into maltose, which the embryo can absorb for energy to continue developing.
Presentation on Germplasm Conservation
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

Traditional Processes of Food Fresh and Dried Fruits Production and Storage i...
Humans and animals have always had hard time for surviving. Their lives have been threatened on adverse ways, including the consumption of unhealthy food and in situations where food safety is not guaranteed. An example of such threaten on human life in third world countries like Afghanistan is due to the lack of awareness about healthy food, their productions, preservations, and consumptions. There are types of food which can easily get infected by fungi and those fungi are called Aflatoxin, and they are harmful to both humans and animals. Such types of harms nowadays threat the lives of Afghan citizens as they are producing types of food fresh and dry fruits that can be easily infected by Aflatoxin. This paper investigates Aflatoxin fungi and the substances that easily get infected with it and how they produce toxins in humans and animals food. The findings from the present study helps us know the harm as well as ways of preventing fungi in most Afghan fruits and can avoid eating food that are contaminated with Afalatoxin.

Genetically Modified Organisms and Biotechnology
A genetically modified organism contains DNA that has been altered using genetic engineering. Genetically modified animals are mainly used for research purposes, while genetically modified plants are common in today’s food supply.
Biotechnology is a field that merges concepts from biology with ideas of technology. It is broken down into four disciplines often represented by specific colors: red, white, blue, and green. These colors represent medical, industrial, marine, and agricultural processes, respectively.
Biotechnology is particularly important in the field of medicine, where it facilitates the production of therapeutic proteins and other drugs. Synthetic insulin and synthetic growth hormone and diagnostic tests to detect various diseases are just some examples of how biotechnology is impacting medicine.
In the Philippines, the lack of storage facilities, farm-to-market roads, and equipment needed to prevent losses from exposure, pests, and natural deterioration have been perennial issues for Filipino farmers.

Food Processing, Food Spoilage and their Prevention: An Overview
Food Processing, Food Spoilage and their Prevention: An OverviewSSR Institute of International Journal of Life Sciences
ABSTRACT- Fruits and vegetables are the important source in human life. It should be safe and consists of good shelf
life which can improve the level of consumption of fruits and vegetable among the society. The processing is such a great
parameter which analyses the quality of food. Today fruits and vegetables are susceptible to the growth of microorganism
which may be air borne, soil borne and water borne disease. Enzymes offer potential for many exciting applications for
the improvement of foods. There is still, however, a long way to go in realizing this potential. Economic factors i.e.
achievement of the optimum yields and efficient recovery of desired protein are the main deterrents in the use of enzymes.
Changing values in society with respect to recombinant DNA & protein engineering technologies and the growing need to
explore all alternative food sources may in time make enzyme applications more attractive to the food industry

Collagen and cancellation of skin contraction
Collagen is the most ubiquitous protein in animals and has been used widely in cosmetics and tissue engineering. During wound healing, there are two types of repair - regeneration and repair through contraction and scar formation. Contraction occurs when wound closure involves the formation of collagen bundles that result in inferior scar tissue compared to normal skin. Cancellation of skin contraction during wound healing can be achieved through collagen scaffolds that have the appropriate pore size, degradation rate, and surface chemistry to promote regeneration instead of scarring. Understanding the role of myofibroblasts involved in contraction is also important to reducing scarring.

Emerging rules for organ regeneration, examples from skin and nerve regeneration and works by Prof. Yannas.
Enteric nerve regeneration for hirchsprung disease
The documents discuss regenerating the enteric nervous system for Hirschsprung's disease using tissue engineering approaches. Key points include:
- Hirschsprung's disease results from the absence of ganglion cells in parts of the colon, causing constipation. Current interventions include surgically removing or reconstructing parts of the intestine.
- Tissue engineering uses biomaterials and cells to try to regenerate the enteric nervous system. Studies have seeded collagen scaffolds with smooth muscle cells in animal models, finding the scaffolds degraded and some regeneration of epithelial and muscle layers, but lack of nerve formation.
- Improving this approach requires optimizing the scaffold material and pore structure, using additional cell types like gl
HYDROGELS FOR WOUND HEALING AND TISSUE ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
This document summarizes research on hydrogels and their applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and wound healing. It describes several key findings:
1) Hydrogels from konjac glucomannan were shown to stimulate proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes in a concentration-dependent manner and support their metabolic activity.
2) Crosslinking konjac glucomannan formed hydrogels that maintained viability of fibroblasts and keratinocytes. The hydrogels inhibited contraction and promoted re-epithelialization in a human tissue engineered skin model.
3) Analysis found the hydrogels modulated water content and interactions to influence cell-matrix interactions important for wound healing and tissue regeneration applications.
NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER CHALLENGES
This presentation has been prepared as part of an effort by IIUM, UTM and MIT (D lab) in Nature based Solutions (NbS) and plan for future work to advance this concept and support effective implementation of NbS to enhance ecosystem services provision and address societal challenges such as displacement, gentrification, inequality, access to clean safe water and food justice.
Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility refers to the ability of a material to perform its intended function with an appropriate host response in a specific application. It is not a single event but rather involves different interdependent mechanisms of interaction between the material and tissue. Additionally, biocompatibility implies that a material performs its function depending on its intrinsic properties and interaction with tissues, and results in an appropriate host response rather than no response at all. The degree of biocompatibility depends on both the material and tissue used in a specific application.
Enteric nerve regeneration for Hirchsprung disease
Hirchsprung's disease is a congenital disorder where ganglion cells are absent from the colon, causing constipation. Current treatments involve removing the affected part of the intestine. Tissue engineering may provide an alternative approach by using biomaterials and cell transplantation to regenerate the enteric nervous system. However, there are risks that the regenerated tissue may not function properly, as the process of generating fully functional nervous tissue from stem cells remains a significant challenge.

1. The tissue layers of the gastrointestinal tract and intestinal development from birth to adulthood.
2. Sources of smooth muscle and neuronal stem cells including bone marrow, muscle tissue, and enteric nervous system.
3. Differences between stem and progenitor cells and how regenerative organogenesis occurs in the adult intestine through mucosal development and crypt differentiation.
Nervous system injury and regeneration
This document discusses nervous system injury and regeneration strategies. It describes how the nervous system is divided into the central and peripheral systems. Injury can occur via different factors and disrupts communication between neurons. In the central nervous system, axons do not regenerate naturally due to inhibitors at injury sites. Tissue engineering strategies aim to use guidance channels, cell recovery, drug delivery, and electrical stimulation to promote regeneration, especially by transforming glial cells into neurons using genetic modification in mice models. Advances in developmental biology and tissue engineering principles can mimic cues to direct neural tissue regeneration.
Low Impact Development
Low impact development (LID) designs aim to reduce the environmental impact of urban planning by trapping stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces. Examples of LID designs in cities include improvements to parking lots in Seattle to trap runoff and urban planning in Idaho and Oregon. Other cities can learn from LID designs used in various US cities to address climate impacts through urban planning.
Animal cell culture and methodologies
Mammalian cell culture was first developed in the early 20th century and has since enabled significant advances in research areas like drug development. Proper aseptic technique and regular maintenance are required to prevent contamination and allow cells to grow healthily. Contamination can occur chemically from unwanted substances or microbially from bacteria, fungi, viruses, and mycoplasma. Strict adherence to safety policies and prevention of cross-contamination between cell lines are important to ensure sterile conditions and validate experimental results.
Literature review - Research Methodology
This document provides general guidelines for writing a literature review, including introducing the major research topic, selecting the most relevant research to the topic being studied, covering research related to all variables, and planning the structure of the literature review before writing.
