chemical and morphological characterization of different parts of banana plant(musa paradisica) (peduncle, leaf stalk and pseudo stem) were carried out in orderto assess their potentiality for chemical pulp. each portion was tested forextractives, sodium hydroxide solubility, ash, lignin, cellulose and pentosancontents as well as their fiber length and width. these segmented parts werecharacter...

The WRKY family of transcription factors orchestrate the reprogrammed expression of the complex network of defense genes at various biotic and abiotic stresses. Within the last 96 million years, three rounds of Musa polyploidization events had occurred from selective pressure causing duplication of MusaWRKYs with new activities. Here, we identified a total of 153 WRKY transcription factors avai...

This paper studied the 2–point improved block backward differentiation formula for solving stiff initial value problems proposed by Musa et al (2013) and further established the necessary conditions for the convergence of the method. It is shown that the method is both zero stable and consistent. The order of the method is also derived.
