Plant molecular farming: challenges and opportunities.
This research's primary focus was to evaluate the hepatoprotective potentials of Andrographis paniculata in carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity Wistar rats.A total thirty-six (36) rats were used for this study.The animals shared equally into six (6) groups.Three groups (1, 3, and 5) served as control given distilled water (1 ml/kg), Silymarin (50 mg/kg), (500 mg/kg) group.The administration duration 28 days, after which they olive oil normal saline ml/kg).The other (2, 4, 6) treated...
Background: Diabetes is associated with chronic hyperglycaemia, long-term damage, dysfunction, and organ failure. This study aims to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of twigs Andrographis paniculata its toxicological markers on Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic Albino rats. Methods: A total thirty rats were randomly divided into five groups six animals each. Non-diabetic treated distilled water as non-diabetic sham control group 1, while (group 2, 3, 4 5) 60 mg/kg bw STZ intravenous...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a significant pathogen identified with healthcare-associated infections. The present study evaluates the role of biofilm and efflux pump activities in influencing high-level resistance virulent P. strains clinical infection. Phenotypic biotyped (n = 147) from diagnosed disease conditions was classified based on multiple antibiotic (MAR) indices analysed logistic regression for risk factors. Efflux activity, formation, virulence factors were optimal association...
The metric measures on seeds, their correlation and relationship are important for systematic breeding seed yield shape determination. Variations among eighty genotypes of African yam bean (AYB) six characters (seed length, width thickness ratios) were evaluated in this study. Paired comparison the revealed very high significance (P < 0.001), approving traits as unique parameters evaluating AYB. They equally exhibited substantial genetic variance: genotypic proportion total variation ranged...
The MQ-series gas sensors are attractive candidates in the area of concentration sensing due to their high sensitivity and low cost. Even though sensor circuit power dissipation level both depend on load resistance, process resistance selection has not been well researched, hence need for this study. derivation model equations determining is presented. derived were used investigate a typical scenario MQ-6 under influence liquified petroleum (LPG). variation with that parametrically...
Abstract The pineapple and its skin contain a lot of vitamin C, which helps to prevent fight illnesses. Dry peel phytochemicals proximate analysis were investigated in this study. Oil derived from ripe peels was tested for phytochemical constituents dry using conventional method.Moisture content 5.10±0.07%, the ash 3.78±0.05%, fat 5.57±0.08%, protein 5.78±0.10%, crude fiber 4.10±0.06%, carbohydrate 75.68±0.86%. Alkaloid phenol, tannin, flavonoid, saponin identified as components result...
Vegetable crops are highly susceptible to a wide range of pests and diseases among which the root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne species).Traditionally, identification Meloidogyne species had been based on use morphological characters such as perennial pattern.In recent times, accuracy nematode using only tools has challenged due similarities in some species.The aim this study was identify associated with vegetable cultivated Covenant University farm, Ota, South-west, Nigeria molecular...
Aim: The objectives of this study were to characterize and evaluate intraspecific relationship among twenty-six accessions Vigna vexillata (L.) work out interrelationship among the morphological traits which could be used for genetic improvement cowpea, V. unguiculata Walp. Study Design: Field experiment was laid in blocks five buckets per accession a row giving a total 260 plants. Place Duration Study: At experimental field Department Biological Sciences, Covenant University, Ota,...
In the last few decades, Moringa oleifera , a multipurpose medicinal plant (MMP) has received increased research attention and commercial interest for its nutritional, therapeutic pharmacological properties. Rigorous approaches including biological assays, animal clinical trials are required towards safe usage as herbal therapy. We conducted systematic review of known activities, toxicity, safety M. usually used locally in treatment prevention myriads illnesses. Five major bibliographic...
African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) is a multipurpose leguminous tree species of nutritional and pharmacological value. The plant widely distributed in Africa across Nigeria's major agroecological areas (AEAs). Amidst declining cultivation production, P. biglobosa genetically threatened its natural habitats due to overexploitation, deforestation, wildfires lack improved management practices. Consequently, concerted research efforts directed towards germplasm collection assessment genetic...
The genus Vigna (L.) Walp is a large cosmopolitan leguminous comprising both cultivated and wild species.Vigna unguiculata Walp.(Cowpea) an important food legume that widely in the tropics, but its production storage are hampered by insect pests.The present study evaluated intra-and inter-specific morphological variabilities among 20 accessions of six species, species.The species Walp, V. vexillata (A.Richard), oblongifolia ambacensis (Baker), luteola (Jacq.)(Bentham) racemosa (G.Don) (Hutch...
