Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence integrated sequences in some yam genomes. To date, only two genomes have been characterised, namely, Dioscorea bacilliform AL virus (DBALV) and SN (DBSNV). A further 10 tentative described based on partial reverse transcriptase (RT)-ribonuclease H (RNaseH) sequences, generically referred here as viruses...
Yam (Dioscorea species) and banana (Musa leaf sample contain high levels of polysaccharide polyphenolic compounds. Extraction good quality DNA from such leaves is usually problematic. Therefore, there a need to extract in order perform downstream analysis, especially for the detection viruses due their low titration some infected leaves. The cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) extraction method was selected optimise plant material with level polysaccharides. Four steps Lodhi et al. (1994)...
Badnaviruses (family Caulimoviridae, genus Badnavirus) have emerged as serious pathogens especially affecting the cultivation of tropical crops. Badnavirus sequences can be integrated in host genomes, complicating detection episomal infections and assessment viral genetic diversity samples containing a complex mixture sequences. Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are hosts to diverse range badnavirus species, recent findings suggested that mixed occur frequently West African yam germplasm....
Thrombotic diseases are increasingly becoming among the prominent causes of death across globe. Researchers now turning attention towards fibrinolytic enzymes as potential alternative treatment for thrombolytic diseases. This present study focused on production extracellular enzyme from soil Actinobacteria and evaluation its hydrolytic activity blood clot. The was isolated compost semi-arid climate in Nigeria. Bacterial isolation achieved using starch casein agar. Potent producing were...
Since the first discovery of badnaviruses (family Caulimoviridae, genus Badnavirus) in yam (Dioscorea spp.) germplasm 1970s (Harrison and Roberts, 1973), several hundred partial badnavirus reverse transcriptase (RT)-ribonuclease H (RNaseH) sequences have been characterised (Kenyon et al.,
The demand for plant-based antioxidants is expanding rapidly due to their effectiveness and accessibility. This study examined the phytochemical constituent in vitro free radical scavenging activities of Methanol extract fractions Ficus platyphylla leaves. Standard known methods were used determine qualitative quantitative constituents plant dried extraction produced a yield 12.64%. Qualitative screening confirmed presence alkaloids all but chloroform fraction. Flavonoids steroids present...
Viruses of the genus Badnavirus (family Caulimoviridae) are double-stranded DNA-reverse transcribing (dsDNA-RT) plant viruses and have emerged as serious pathogens tropical temperate crops globally. Endogenous badnaviral sequences found integrated in genomes several economically important species. Infection due to activation replication-competent copies genera Badnavirus, Petuvirus Cavemovirus has been described. Such endogenous elements pose challenges development nucleic acid-based...
