Aquatic plants or macrophytes are beneficial to fresh water bodies because they produce oxygen, which assists with overall fresh water bodies functioning, and provide food and shelter for aquatic living organisms. A lack of aquatic plants in a freshwater bodies system where they are expected to occur may suggest a reduced population of macro and mi

This study aimed at establishing callus cultures as an alternative research tool to study the regulatory mechanisms of the carotenoid biosynthesis in plant through a controlled environment. Previous studies established that selasih or O. basilicum is rich with carotenoids such as neoxanthin, lutein, violaxanthin, α-carotene and ß-carotene. Intere

Abiotic stress factors are the main limitation to plant growth and yield in agriculture. Orange sweet potatoes may become major sources of carotenoids in the diet, but the extent of environmental and genetic influences on plant carotenoid biosynthesis are poorly understood. Carotenoid biosynthesis is regulated by several factors such as water, ligh

Most of developing countries used to develop various technologies to decrease the percentage of heavy metals contaminant from landfill site such as incineration, solvent extraction, soil washing by using physical separation methods or chemical agents, solidification or stabilization technology, indirect thermal treatment, soil venting, membrane tec

The growth of solid waste generation in Malaysia from year 2005 to 2013 statistically has risen from 19,000 tonne to 33,000 tonne per day. This rapid increase mainly affected the number of landfill which is the final disposal destination of solid waste. Landfill is very crucial site which need to be managed properly or it can be hazardous to the li

Phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a regulatory role in many physiological processes in plants and is regulated and controlled by specific key factors or genes. Different environmental stress conditions such as water, drought, cold, light, and temperature result in increased amounts of ABA. The action of ABA involves modification of gene expres

Colour is one important characteristic to food products as it dictates consumers’ first perception on the foods’ flavour and quality. In the current food industry, most of the colorants used were derived from synthetic sources. However, due to negative health impacts of the synthetic colorants, the urgency to find natural colorants and impose i

The aim of the research is to explore the potential of fern species as natural ecological indicator agent to forecast microclimate changes in the urban area. Ferns which also known as pteridophyte are not only valuable in term of its ethno-botanical uses such as food and medicine but also useful in ecological values. Other than that it can be used

The aquaculture industry has made a great contribution towards economic development of Malaysia. However, the large volume of water consumption and the wastewater discharged into the water source caused a significant environmental problem that must be controlled properly. For instance, aquaculture waste may decrease dissolved oxygen level and load

This research explore the shariah compliant and issues of muslim-friendly homestay in Malaysia. Malaysia is a tourism-based country that offer many experience opportunities to the tourist. One of it is homestay-tourism package. There are many homestay accommodation build up especially in rural area. However, the services and surroundings are not fu
