A high-Throughput Model System for Investigating Carotenoid Biogenesis in Plant via Callus Culture
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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

Effect of Abiotic Stress on Carotenoids Accumulation in Orange Sweet Potato Calluses Under Light and Dark Conditions
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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

Assessment of Bacopa Caroliniana to Sequester Landfill Heavy Metals Contaminant via in Vitro Hybrid Model System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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 Capability of Glossostigma Elatinoides to Accumulate Al, Mn, Fe and Mg from Contaminated Landfill Leachate Through in Vitro Landscape Ecological Model System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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

Constitutive, Institutive and up-Regulation of Carotenogenesis Regulatory Mechanism via in Vitro Culture Model System and Elicitors
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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

Potential Sources for Lipid Soluble Food Colorants from Selected Malaysian Traditional Vegetables
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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

Effects of Altitude and Microclimate on the Distribution of Ferns in Urban Areas
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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

Phytoremediation Model System for Aquaculture Wastewater Using Glossostigma Elatinoides and Hemianthus Callitrichoides
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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

muslim-Friendly’s Homestay in Malaysia: Issues and Challenges
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

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

Rating Tools for Shariah Compliant Hospitality and Services: Landscape Design Stage
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Currently, tourism sector has become the most dynamic factor to Malaysian services economic growth. The existence of Shariah compliant hospitality and services will be an added value in promoting Malaysia as Muslim friendly Tourism Hub. Specifically to the international tourist such as Middle East, West Asian and other Islamic countries. Shariah co
