Agroecosystems attract numerous insect species for nesting, breeding and especially for pollination function. While studies have been done in other nations about the ecological factors that determine fruit set in passion ...

Aluminum toxicity is one of most distributed plant abiotic stress in the world, causing root inhibition and therefore crop losses. Plants continuously adapt its defense to abiotic stresses through different mechanisms ...

The establishment of trade organizations requires a number of provisions. However, the negotiators wanted to create an institution in which trade issues could be analyzed on a multilateral basis. Since its enforcement date ...

There is need to look for nontoxic cheap alternative ways of fighting mutating and resistant disease causing microbes especially in sub-Saharan region. This is because of the lower average immune system strength due to ...

Genetic variation within and between four naturally occurring Phragmites australis land populations, DBS, QG, SS1 and SS2 (named after locality), which colonise distinct habitats (different edaphic conditions) in the Songnen ...

Overuse of inorganic fertilizers have contributed to an increase in soil acidity in global arable land and consequently caused an increase in Aluminium ion (Al3+) toxicity and a reduction of crop yield of between 30-50% ...

Studies have confirmed that heritable phenotypic variation in plants does not necessarily need to be based on the DNA sequence. Epigenetic studies have shown that the genomic DNA sequence might remain the same while gene ...

Subterranean termites are an important component of below ground biodiversity since they live in the soil and they provide physical niche opportunities for lower level organisms determining their community structure. The ...

Cytosine bases of the nuclear genome in higher plants are often extensively methylated. Cytosine methylation has been implicated in the silencing of both transposable elements (TEs) and endogenous genes, and loss of ...

Moringa oleifera plant is unique due to its coagulation effect on turbid water. However, the extent to which the seed’s powder coagulant changes the physico-chemical characteristics of treated water has not been discussed ...
