We aimed to investigate the genetic defects related to pollen development and
infertility in NY2, a novel tetraploid rice germplasm known as Neo-tetraploid rice.
This rice variety was created through the crossbreeding ...

Cultivation of the oyster mushroom on horse manure and wheat straw compost without nutrient supplementation was investigated. The growing, yield and fruiting body size effects on open trays and substrate ...
After peanuts and cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata), the Bambara groundnut (Vigna
subterranea (L.) Verdc) is the third most significant food legume in Africa. It is
characteristically grown in marginal soils, is drought tolerant, ...

Abstract
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is an important grain legume mainly grown in tropical and subtropical regions for vegetables, grains, and fodder. The crop is grown predominantly in the dry savannahs to the ...
Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc) is a nutritious and drought-tolerant crop that is native to Africa. Currently, it possesses a cosmopolitan distribution across the semi-arid agro-ecologies of Africa and its ...

Ganoderma is a genus of mushrooms that is prized in developed nations, especially those in Asia, due to its health-promoting properties, which are attributed to bioactive compounds such as phenolics. However, in developing ...
Different Mushrooms species prefer different substrates as growth medium. For example, medicinal mushrooms such as Shiitake, pearl and yellow oysters grow better on straws and gourmet. Reishi and Maitake grow better on ...
Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is an important grain legume mainly grown in tropical and subtropical regions for vegetables, grains, and fodder. The crop is grown predominantly in the dry savannahs to the Sahel in ...
Disposal of waste generated after the harvesting of mushrooms is one of the major problems in mushroom cultivation industries. There is an urgent need for a technology that produces high-value products from the spent ...
The application of green chemistry for the synthesis of nanoparticles is said to be environmentally friendly and cost efficient. The paper reports on the cell anti-proliferative activity of Pechuelloeschea leubnitziae, ...
Pechuel-loeschea leubnitziae is an aromatic and unpalatable shrub traditionally used to treat malaria and related symptoms in some regions of Namibia. Despite the importance of P. leubnitziae in the management of malaria, ...

The growing prevalence of deadly microbes with resistance to previously life-saving drug therapies is a dire threat to human health. Detection of low abundance pathogen sequences remains a challenge for metagenomic Next ...
Oryza alta Swallen is an important germplasm for rice resistance breeding; however, its CCDD genome (2n = 48) resulted in
low crossability when the wild rice was crossed with O. sativa and restricted the success of ...
