This section includes selected coursework-based projects, short-term academic training, and internship research.
Detailed information on my primary research is presented separately under Fern Biology and Development
The DPPH assay is used to predict antioxidant activities based on the mechanism by which antioxidants inhibit lipid oxidation, resulting in DPPH radical scavenging and thus determining free radical scavenging capacity.

Currently, I'm working as an undergraduate research intern at the Department of Plant-Biotechnology and Biotransformation...
I have prepared Chemical, cultural mediums, and done some experiments...
This is the plant-tissue culture practice at the Department of Plant-biotechnology and biotransformation
Preparation and sterilization: It depends on your purpose the components may be different, here is what I used
MS medium:
Skoog I (100ml/1L medium)
Skoog II (2.5 ml/1L)
Skoog III (5ml/L)
Glycine (2mg/mL)
MyO- Inoaitol (50mg/ml)
Sucrose
Agar...
Adjustment of the medium's pH: Really careful to control the pH by adding HCl or KOH solution ...
Sterilizing plant sample: It's a secret protocol that My project used to optimize the quality... However, as usual, We use Calcium hypochlorite or javel with a different ratio.
Plant sample is transferred to the medium and this task has to be done by working with Fume Hood and Biosafety Cabinets.
Growing plants is the process that needs you to observe and check to find the optimal conditions for plants to growth
The project is to evaluate the effect of physiological status on the capacity of bud formations in Chrysanthemum by using NAA and BAP.
Preparation of explants: Eight-week-old in vitro Chrysanthemum plants were cultured on MS medium S.
Determination of shoot regeneration: The first to sixth leaves from the apical bud were removed from the stem and wounded across the central veins using a culture knife. The leaves were cultured on MS medium and MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BA. The cultures were maintained at 22 ± 2 °C, 3000 lux, and 65 ± 5% relative humidity. The number of shoots that regenerated from different positions on the leaves was observed and recorded after four weeks of culture, with four replicates.
Callogenesis of the leaves at the cutting site after 3 cultured weeks, it was observed the initial bud formation.
Leaves at different positions on a plant have different bud formation capacities due to differences in leaf size, growth rate, and hormone levels. Leaves with larger surface areas, faster growth rates, and higher hormone levels are more likely to form buds
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is not one of the most significant agricultural legumes in the world but also as a potential function foods that components is rich of primary and secondary metabolites source such as protein or phenolic and flavonoids compounds (Chávez-Mendoza & Sánchez, 2017).
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are extracted from plants using methanol as the solvent. The extract is then purified using solvent partitioning and paper or thin-layer chromatography. The identity of the PGRs is confirmed by comparing their Rf values to known standards. In this study, the PGR activities of auxin (IAA), cytokinin (Zeatin), and gibberellin (GA3) will be analyzed.
The A-amylase production is upon on pH as one of the crucial factors
A-amylase activity varies from strain to strains in B.subtilis
The production of α-amylase by Bacillus subtilis strains can be optimized by tuning cultural media components such as pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and incubation period. Therefore, this project aims to determine the optimal pH for α-amylase production by Bacillus subtilis strains provided by the Department of Biochemistry.
B.SUBTILIS STRAIN IS POTENTIAL FOR A-AMYLASE PRODUCTION AT LARGE-SCALE INDUSTRIAL.
DEFINE THE MECHANISM OF THE CHANGE OF Ɑ-AMYLASE ACTIVITY AND Α-AMYLASE PRODUCTION RELATED TO EXTREMELY ACIDIC OR ALKALINE PH CONDITIONS.
