Insecticides of synthetic origin have been used to manage insect pests for more than 50 years. Due to the continuous use of chemical pesticides against this pest, resistance to the action of pesticides had dramatically evolved. This study was planned to identify the phenolic compounds in ethanol extracts of fenugreek and yellow lupine, on the other hand, investigate the effect of water and alcoholic extracts of fenugreek and yellow lupine on the biochemical responses of the 4th instar larvae ofcotton leafworm. In our study a recommended pesticide namely chlorpyrifos (dursban) was used as a reference. Our results indicated that seven compounds were detected in two ethanolic extracts; gallic acid (164.409 mg /ml) was the major component in fenugreek extract, while catechin was (113.705 mg /ml) the major phenolic compound in yellow lupine extract. All tested extracts showed a significant deterioration in biochemical parameters (GOT, GPT, ALP, ACP activities and total protein levels). The 10 % concentration was the best in both plants extracts, while the ethanolic extract of the fenugreek was the most effective of all the extracts used in the experiment. So, we recommended by using fenugreek and yellow lupine extracts as insecticides to control the cotton leaf worm.   }, keywords = {Cotton leafworm,fenugreek,Yellow lupine,Biochemical response}, url = {https://mjab.journals.ekb.eg/article_174847.html}, eprint = {https://mjab.journals.ekb.eg/article_174847_443a1576916cf8e78d51b5e66054c77a.pdf} } @article { author = {Elbeltagy, A. and Wagih, Mennah T- Allah and Hanafy, Wafaa and Abo-kora, Hanaa and Fahim, S.}, title = {BIOTECHNOLOGICAL STUDIES ON BIOFUEL PRODUCTION FROM AGRICULTURAL WASTES}, journal = {Menoufia Journal of Agricultural Biotechnology}, volume = {4}, number = {3}, pages = {25-35}, year = {2019}, publisher = {Menoufia University, Faculty of Agriculture}, issn = {2357-0768}, eissn = {2735-3532}, doi = {10.21608/mjab.2019.174852}, abstract = {Fruits peels, an agricultural waste discarded in huge amounts, were effectively fractionated into its oligosaccharides composition to dedicate their added values utilization. Four fruits peels (Banana, Watermelon, Orange and Mango) were studied. The starch, pectin, hemicellulose, celluloses, lignin and proteins fractions were determined in terms of dry weights percentages for these peels. Mango peels showed the highest oligosaccharides levels, even lignin content was highest by 17.25%. Also, banana peels showed high oligosaccharides levels with the lowest level of lignin by 4.82%. Lab-scale bioreactor was carried out for enzymes production and saccharifaction, the banana and mango peels were released the greatest saccharified pentose and hexose sugars, the total fermentable sugars were 27.77 and 21.13 g.l-1, respectively. Co-fermentation were conducted by selected yeast strain belong to Kluyveromyces marxianus to contribute previouslysexual regenerative Saccharomyces cerevisiae for bioethanol co-production. As expected, co-fermentation increased the productivity by more than 18%, the substantial bioethanol yield were observed by saccharifed banana peels with 10.74 g.l-1, the adding of CaO lead finally to 97.5 wt % of pure bioethanol by duplicate the distillation process.The reaction molar ratio of cocked oil to ethyl acetate were established by 0.1, 0.125, 0.2, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 mol.mol-1 respectively.

Also improving of these isolates by protoplast fusion and selection of the best strains produced from protoplast fusion. Accordingly, 25 isolates of Trichoderma were obtained and characterized on morphological and molecular bases. It was found that the predominate species in Menoufia governorate   was T. harzianum. These isolates showed high ability in inhibition of growth rate of phytopathogenic fungi. Also, they demonstrated different abilities in producing chitinase enzymes (cell wall degradation enzyme for phytopathogenic fungi). Five isolates were selected for improving by protoplast fusion and six isolates obtained from fusion were selected on the basis of their high abilities in hydrolyzing chitin. Also, these strains were better than their parents in inhibition growth rate of phytopathogenic fungi. In addition, they integrated high production of chitinase enzymes. In green house evaluation on faba bean plants, the obtained result showed that the plants treated with these strains and the pathogen were better in growth parameters than the plants treated by the pathogen only. Also, this treatment showed better growth parameters than the plants treated by parenteral isolates and the phytopathogen.   }, keywords = {morphological features,ITS and TEF1-α,Mycoparasitism,Chitinase,Exochitinase, Genetic Improvement, Protoplast Fusion}, url = {https://mjab.journals.ekb.eg/article_174860.html}, eprint = {https://mjab.journals.ekb.eg/article_174860_393f0df859f1d61c7c016e0ee7223c53.pdf} }
