Papain is a proteolytic enzyme obtained from the fruits of carica papaya with abundant therapeutic, food, industrial and analytical applications. The challenges related to the development of papain technology on industrial scale include cost of production and downstream processin...
Although the importance of respiration and photosynthesis to plants is well-established, the antioxidant system's response to abiotic stresses remains an area of intense interest in the study of physiological stress. While reports and reviews have been conducted on a single impor...
There has been a considerable interest in utilizing natural agricultural waste materials for the creation of value-added products, such as citric acid, as a more environmentally friendly substitute for sugar molasses. This report describes the plan for a facility that can produce...
Aims: This study investigates and reports the production of extended spectrum beta-lactamase in Escherichia coli isolates from urine of patients sourced from General Hospital, Maitama, Abuja, Nigeria. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department o...
Enhancing plant nutrition without changing soil texture and protecting it from microbial diseases, nano-fertilizers, nano-pesticides, and nano-herbicides are some examples of how nanotechnology is being used in agriculture. So, nanotechnology keeps the soil healthy, which in turn...
Vegetable crops play very important role in human nutrition and medicine. The production of these crops is seriously under threat due to virus infection. Field survey within gardens and farms located within the University of Cross River State, Nigeria during the 2023 planting sea...
Sunflower is an important oilseed crop cultivated worldwide because of its importance for oil and food. Sunflower is well suited to our local cropping pattern and contains much edible oil The research was conducted at the University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan to evaluate...
Plant spacing and seed tuber size are important agronomic management practices in the production of potato. Three weights of G0 potato tubers (W1 < 10g; 10g< W2< 20g; 20g< W3< 30g) and two planting distances (D1: 10 cm and D2: 20 cm) with a potato variety Spunta we...
Adenylyl cyclase type 2 (ADCY2) is an enzyme linked to membranes that is implicated in the spread of many cancer types and tumors. As such, it may be a target for therapeutic intervention. Using molecular docking, we examined how these compounds bound to ADCY2. Cancer is treated...
Streptococcus mitis, a member of the Viridans Group Streptococci (VGS), is commonly found in the normal flora of the human oropharynx, and can cause various infections in humans, including orbital cellulitis, infective endocarditis, and bacteremia in neutropenic individuals. Iden...
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a monogenic blood disorder caused by a single nucleotide mutation in the β-globin gene that swaps the hydrophilic glutamic acid at position six with the hydrophobic valine. Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for SC...
Maize is commonly referred to as the queen of cereals because of its major share in the food for people in the world. It provides food, feed, and edible oil with low cholesterol levels for humans as well as for livestock consumption. It is a short-duration crop being cultivated i...
The productivity of agriculture has been greatly impacted by climate change, especially rice production, several biotic and abiotic stressors, including heat, salt, drought, heavy metals, rice blast, and bacterial blight, can severely reduce rice yields and jeopardize global food...
As a leguminous crop, soybean is an important to the economy. Progress in soybean genetics has been focused on producing types that are tolerant or resistant to different biotic and abiotic problems, increasing seed and oil output, and optimizing cropping system fit. Conventional...
