3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Phytochemical analysis Phytochemicals, especially phenolics are known to be major bioactive compounds for health benefits. Plant extracts containing different classes of polyphenols are very attractive in the food industry. Therefore, in this study, the total phenolics content and total flavonoids content of the faba beans’ extract were investigated. Folin-Ciocalteu phenol method estimated a total phenolic content of 22.415 GAE equivalents (µg GAE/mg sample). The presence
higher row spacing (50-70cm) in faba bean resulted in the greatest grain yield (50-52%) with a reduction at the narrow spacing. Abdel Latif (2008) investigated the effect of plant spacing (10, 20, and 30 cm) on yield and yield components of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) and indicated that increasing plant spacing increased the number of pods per plant and pods per main stem
Radiation has fascinated many people for decades. Radiation is the result of nuclear decay and this releases radioactive isotopes in many different forms of radiation. Some scientists have conducted experiments using plants as test subjects for radiation. Researchers at the University of Edinburg have tested the effects of cosmic radiation against the growth of spruce trees and the rings inside them. NASA also did a study on how UV-B rays affect plant life and everything that depends
Man has been much conscious about body care and cleanliness since ancient times. Those people were also concerned with ideas of beauty and fashion. Historians have found the concept of beauty treatment back to Egyptian times. Early Egyptians are also credited with being first to develop methods of extraction of valuable ingredients from natural products and were also advanced in the beauty sector Various ancient Unani physicians have dedicated either volumes or entire books depicting beauty concepts
parameters predicted in the experiment. While some parameters weren’t met, root length was affected by soil sterilization. Works Cited Mathew, D., David, P., & Mark, P. (2013).

Post-translational modifications have a profound influence on the structure and function of many proteins. Dystroglycan (DG) is an example of a membrane protein that requires extensive post-translational processing in order to function as an extracellular matrix receptor. It is comprised of two subunits, an extracellular -DG subunit and a transmembrane -DG subunit, which are derived by cleavage of a polypeptide encoded by DAG1 (1). The apparent molecular mass (Mr) of -DG as assessed by SDS-PAGE
