    Abstract: In this study an attempt was taken to purify Glyoxalase-I (Gly-I: E.C., 4.4.1.5), from maize seedlings. Both green and non-green parts of 7 day old maize seedlings were used as plant materials. Crude proteins were precipitated by 65% (NH4)2SO4, and dialyzed overnight. The dialyzate was applied on DEAE-cellulose chromatography and eluted with linear... Show More

    Abstract: Ethiopia has suitable environmental condition for fenugreek production. However, the productivity of fenugreek is very low as compared with world average due to lack of stable, high yielding, and disease resistant genotypes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the promising genotypes and verify the most stable, high yielding and ... Show More
