Seeds and bark of Garcinia kola Heckel (Clusiaceae) are popular products in West Central Africa. Despite the tree’s economic cultural importance, little is known about its phenotypic genotypic variation. This study characterised morphological genetic diversity G. South Cameroon, searching for traits populations that might be used domestication. Morphological assessment amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were applied to characterise among geographic from regions, between...
In this study, seven carbohydrates, namely, glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, maltose, raffinose and starch were screened for the most suitable carbon source in vitro culture of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq. var. tenera) zygotic embryos on basal media Murashige Skoog (MS) (1962) Eeuwen (Y3) (1976). The excised aseptically cultured both containing different carbohydrates. Results obtained showed that while supported plantlet regeneration from embryo explants, Y3 medium was...
Existing research has shown that plants are best suited for the ecofriendly green synthesis of nanoparticles. This study reported novel findings on biomimetic silver nanoparticles using aqueous leaf extract six medicinal plant species in genus, Combretum (C. paniculatum, C. dolichopetalum, platypterum, C racemosum, bauchiense, and demeusei). It was concerned with characterization, phytochemical screening, antimicrobial cytological evaluation synthesized (AgNPs). The novelty this lies...
Entomopathogenic fungi, with their eco-friendly nature, have emerged as promising biocontrol agents for pest management. This study explores the entomopathogenic potential of various isolates, including Aspergillus niger, flavus, Rhizomucor spp., Fusarium and terreus, obtained from soil plant debris. Confirming properties through morphological characteristics, aligns previous research findings on spp. sp. isolation diverse sources. In assays against Beans Weevil, all tested isolates...
