New chili varieties resistant to anthracnose and Pepper yellow leaf curl diseases and high pungency

New chili varieties resistant to anthracnose and Pepper yellow leaf curl diseases  and high pungency

Abstract

The research aims to develop chili Thai commercial varieties for resistance to anthracnose and Pepper yellow leaf curl virus disease. The varieties allowing farmer to reduce the use of chemical pesticides for disease and pest control, also increases productivity and lowers production costs for farmers. The development new varieties are under studied of undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students by using conventional and molecular plant breeding. The new chili varieties were released to farmer and commercial companies for development for Thai commercial seed industry.

Objective

ประเทศไทยยังขาดพริกต้านทานต่อโรคแอนแทรกโนสและโรคไวรัสใบหงิกเหลือง และ เพื่อให้เกษตรได้ลดการใช้สารเคมีเพื่อป้องกันและกำจัดโรคและแมลง และเป็นการเพิ่มผลผลิตและลดต้นทุนให้แก่เกษตรกร โดยการพัฒนาพันธุ์พริกผ่านกระบวนการเรียนการสอนทั้งระดับปริญญาตรี โท และเอก ซึ่งถือได้ว่าเป็นการสร้างนักปรับปรุงพันธุ์รุ่นใหม่ ที่มีทั้งความรู้ด้านการปรับปรุงพันธุ์พืชโดยใช้วิธีมาตรฐานร่วมกับการใช้เทคโนโลยีชีวภาพ และงานวิจัยนี้ยังได้เผยแพร่สายพันธู์เพื่อให้เกษตรกร และบริษัทเมล็ดนำไปต่อยอดใช้ในเชิงพานิชย์ และช่วยเสริมความเข้มแข็งให้กับธุรกิจเมล็ดพันธุ์ของประเทศไทยได้

Website Design For Exploring Death and Historical Turning Points

When it comes to the general perception of death, it is often seen as something negative or inauspicious. However, the end or death of someone can sometimes be the beginning of change, influencing thoughts, lifestyles, and attitudes in a positive way for those around them. For students aged 13-18, accessing and understanding this topic remains a challenge. Most available information is often presented in complex forms that are difficult for young people to grasp. Moreover, teaching materials in schools often lack creativity and engagement, leading to a decline in students’ interest in this subject. To address this issue, a website has been designed as an accessible and creative resource. It aims to deepen young people's understanding of the impact of actions and the death of individuals on the world they live in, while inspiring them to become part of creating positive change for the future.

Directing for 3D Animation “The Red Mist”

The thesis artwork titled “The Red Mist” presents a narrative adapted from a short story of the same name by Assistant Professor Chatnarong Wisutkul in 2003. The story is set in a future world where people's greed and selfishness have led to a war, forcing them to rely on "breathing machines" to survive in the "red toxic mist." Phakin, a 15-year-old boy, embarks on a journey with a group of refugees. As they pass through abandoned cities, they encounter a boy without a breathing machine who has recently lost his father. Phakin decides to help him, despite objections from others. The boy tries to end his life by shutting off his breathing machine, and when Phakin intervenes to save him, he collapses from inhaling the toxic air. Witnessing Phakin's selfless act, the others are moved and join forces to save both of them. Phakin demonstrates that in difficult times, humans must cooperate and help each other rather than being divided and selfish.

Co-encapsulation Techniques for Vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10 Impacts on Stability and Efficacy: Antioxidant activity, and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion

This study aims to investigate the co-encapsulation technique of vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 within liposomes to enhance their stability and encapsulation efficiency and evaluate their antioxidant activity and release behavior under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Liposomes were prepared using the High-Speed Homogenization Method, and their characteristics, including particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, and antioxidant activity, were analyzed using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays. The results demonstrated that co-encapsulation significantly improved the stability of vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 compared to single encapsulation. The liposomes exhibited high encapsulation efficiency and maintained strong antioxidant activity. The release profile under simulated gastrointestinal conditions also indicated a sustained and controlled release. These findings highlight the potential of the co-encapsulation technique in enhancing the efficacy of functional bioactive compounds, making it applicable to the food and nutraceutical industries.
