Legumes (family Leguminosae) are an economically important and widely distributed species found in several regions of the world, including Guineo-Congolian (GC) forest region. Recent studies have reported impact climate change on plant biodiversity. Thus, understanding distribution pattern endemic legume GC region under current future scenarios imperative for long-term conservation management plans. We used 762 occurrence data 237 to elucidate habitat suitability species. Analyses ecological...
The increase in consumption of leafy vegetables and their inclusion daily diet have necessitated vegetable farming throughout the year on very busy road-side farms gardens conventional non-conventional areas without consideration for potential risk to health consumers. Therefore, objective this study is determine levels copper, zinc, chromium nickel evaluate risks human exposure via Celosia argentea, Talinum triangulare Vernonia amygdalina purchased a popular local market Lagos, Nigeria...
Abstract The present study investigates the macrophytes diversity from selected aquatic ecosystems in South‐Western Nigeria using quadrat method. survey revealed two major ecosystem types (mangrove and freshwater swamp) recorded a total of 83 species belonging to 77 genera 41 families. Three ( Sacciolepis africana , Ipomoea asarifolia Commelina diffusa ) were found all surveyed areas. However, such as Acrostichum aureum Avicennia germinans Rhizophora racemosa restricted its distribution....
The importance of slow accumulation mutation in the nucleic acids bacteria and possibility organismal transcriptional modification to suit their adaptation are key drivers favouring natural selection subsequently adaptive evolution. This study was aimed at providing insight into factors influencing extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) resistance A total twenty-six (26) lactamase-producing Gram-negative isolated our previous were subjected uniplex multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
Dumpsites generate leachates containing bacteria that may carry antibiotic resistance genes, such as extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL). However, the contribution of dumpsite in environmental spread ESBL genes has not been investigated greater detail. This study aimed to quantify impact Ajakanga leachate on through surface water. The susceptibility Escherichia coli isolated from and accompanying water selected antibiotics was assessed by standardized disc diffusion method. isolates were...
Lecaniodiscus cupanioides has been playing vital roles in traditional therapies Nigeria towards management of several ailments such as malaria and breast tumour.In the quest to investigating its genotoxicity, 30 mice weighing between 20 -25g were placed three groups 10 each.Groups A B, orally administered 100 400 mg kg-1 extract respectively for 49 days, group C received distilled water control.At expiration treatment sacrificed via jugular puncture.Femurs disaticulated marrow bone genotoxic...
Abstract Background Hunteria umbellatta (HU) is a predominant plant with share of therapeutic properties against various human diseases no scientific report its in vitro ethno-toxicology coupled molecular implication the literature. This study, therefore, evaluated toxicological activity and quantification expression specific swarming gene, lateral flagellar (Laf A) adhesion gene (ExsE) Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) treated methanol seed stem extracts HU at 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.625,...
The success of any hybridization outcome in cowpea is dependent on temperature and humidity, which affect flower initiation, pollen fertility pod setting. purpose this study was to determine the optimal environmental parameters (temperature humidity) favorable for a successful selected accessions. A total 512 reciprocal crosses were made between TVu 11953 Ife Brown accessions, mornings (299 crosses) evenings (213 crosses). In 2014, 115 morning, 71 evening. 2015, 184 morning 142 Relative set,...
Cowpea a leguminous crop consumed by millions of people in Asia and sub-Sahara Africa often faces pre- postharvest attack like fungal infection. Twelve cultivars Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp obtained from International Institute Tropical Agriculture (IITA) Ibadan, Nigeria were investigated for infection using pour plate technique eleven isolates nine the cultivars. Pathogenicity Fusarium oxysporium (cultivars IT8ID-994, IT98K-452-1); Alternaria alternata IT98k-205-8, TVX3236, IT845-2246- 4);...
