The thesis “Assessment of the genetic diversity of black pepper cultivars (Piper nigrum L.) commonly planted in three main cultivated areas of the Southern provinces based on morphological characteristics” was conducted from May 2008 to August 2009

Phytate, myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate, is the primary source of inositol and the major storage form phosphorus in agricultural feedstuffs, such as cereals, legumes, and oilseeds. Phytase, myo-inositol hexakisphosphate hydrolase (EC 3.1.3.8 for 3-phytase and 3.1.8.26 for 6-phytase), catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytate into myo-inositol and inorganic phosphates

The thesis “Identification of virus belong to Begomovirus genus infected Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) in Lam Dong province” was carried out from April 2009 to December 2010 at the Department of Biotechnology, Institute of Agricultural Sciences for Southern Vietnam. The aims of the study were to identify the virus belong to Begomovirus genus which infect yellow leaf curl disease on tomato in Lam Dong province.

Sulfur (S) is an important macronutrient needed for the normal crop performance. As S in an essential constituent of protein, S deficiency results in a limitation in protein synthesis. Sulfur deficiencies are becoming more common because of the cultivation of high yielding crop cultivars, intensive cultivation, application of fertilisers with little S or no S, cleaner atmospheres as well as reduction in retention of crop residues

Bacterial wilt of tomato was described by Smith (1896) over 100 years ago, caused among the most serious diseases of tomato in tropical and subtropical area. It is now the major constraint on production of tomato in many parts of Vietnam.

The title “Completing a process of tomato growing (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in a high - yield production in glasshouse condition in Lam Dong province” was implemented at Lien Nghia town, Duc Trong district, Lam Dong province within two years from April 2010 to April 2012. The objectives were to accomplish a process of tomato planting in glasshouse condition with a target of high yields.

The objectives of study were to determine some limitation factors on yield of bottle gourd and to find out one  -  two  cucurbit  rootstocks which might highly compatible with bottle gourd plant; high quality and main diseases tolerance. The study was included one survey and two experiments.

 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary cancer of the liver, accounting for 70% - 85% of liver cancer cases. HCC has the leading incidence and mortality rate of cancer diseases in general. All most HCC cases were detected in late stage and patients have little chance of effective treatments. Recently, the use of microRNA molecules as potential markers has been focused on the diagnosis of HCC cases and other cancer diseases.

RNA silencing has been regarded as a natural self-defense mechanism to protect plants from their pathogen invasion. Thus, there has been a variety of gene silencing strategies developed and exploited the natural pathway to generate virus-resistant plants. The newly developed artificial microRNA technology is generally recognized as an effective method of down-regulating target genes.

Cassava bagasse is a fibrous residue obtained from the tapioca starch factories, which contains high starch and cellulose. In addition, it comprises some valuable components like proteins, pectin, lignin, fat, ash, and minerals.
