Parthenium weed is an invasive species of economic importance worldwide. Native to the American tropics, infestation ability a new habitat largely influenced by environmental factors. Despite invasion in Malaysia dated back 2013, investigation on its ecological behavior still lacking. Hence, extensive studies two predominant Malaysian populations were executed. In Petri dish seed bioassay, germ...

Treatment of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing strains of Enterobacteriaceae has emerged as a major challenge in hospitalised as well as community based patients. Infections due to ESBL producers range from uncomplicated urinary tract infection to life threatening sepsis. Although several reviews have been published in the literature about the detection and identification of the...

The paucity of information on malaria vectors in rural areas continues to pose a problem the public health sector Nigeria. Thus, study mosquitoes composition and transmission some communities Doma Local Government Area (LGA) Nasarawa State, Nigeria was carried out between April July 2021. Indoor resting were collected using standard pyrethrum spray catch (PSC) from 0600 0900 hours. transferred ...

Nematodes produced in monoxenic culture are used for many research purposes. To maximize the number of Heterodera glycines produced in culture, 24 soybean cultivars (maturity groups 0-8) were evaluated for host suitability. A strain of H. glycines race 3, maintained in monoxenic culture on excised soybean root tips of cv. Kent, was inoculated into 20 petri dishes of each cultivar. The highest n...

The role of motility and nutrients in bacterial competition and colony formation Bacterial competition and colony formation are an important component in many practical applications such as plant roots colonization and medicine (especially in dental clinics). Motility is a pivotal bacterial trait for the successful colonization of plant roots. Bacterial motility has two types of mechanisms — di...

abstract     crop residues are well known for their chemical (allelopathic) effects on crops. the allelopathic potential of the aqueous extracts and chopped residual of sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) on germination, seedling growth, relative water content, seedling dry weight, seedling length and antioxidant enzyme activity namely catalase (cat), peroxidase (pod) and superoxide dismutase (sod) of...

A few decades ago, if one underwent a knee injury that makes walking painful or had an atrophied kidney, then, he/she was condemned to life hooked on machines, constant medications. However, in today’s era, teeth can be grown Petri dish; heart and liver replacements are possible with no risk of rejection because the organs made patient’s own cells. This is promise regenerative medicine tissue e...
