As organisms exposed to various abiotic and biotic environmental impacts, plants are able to recognize and respond to their surrounding environment with high specificity. Electromagnetic field radiation is an important effective stress factor on growth and development of plants. Our research focused on plants grown from wet pretreated seeds with low frequency electromagnetic field exposure comp...

background: diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis (cl) is often made based on clinical manifesta­tion. correct diagnosis and identification of the parasite are crucial for choosing the effective treat­ment and for epidemiological studies. on the other hand, determination of leishmania species is nec­essary for designing appropriate control programs. diagnosis by pcr is becoming a 'gold standard'...

Cabbage is a dietary source of micronutrients, vitamins and fiber, vital for human health. samples this study were obtained from selected markets in Ibadan, Nigeria. Serial dilutions membrane filter techniques used to determine microbial load profile the samples. Appropriate culture media detect presence Fungi Bacteria isolated included; Sclerotinia sp, Fusarium Cladosporium Aspergillus Mucor A...

The effect of different membrane filters on the bioactivity of tomato root exudates was tested in an in vitro assay addressing the germination of microconidia of the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. Membrane filtration of unsterile root exudates with filters of different membrane materials and filter brands resulted in an increased microconidia germination. This effect v...

Biodiversity of phylloplane and endophytic fungi have been considered as one of the rich source of novel natural compounds of biological activities and a high level of structure diversity on the leaf surfaces. Bioactive components produced by phylloplane and endophytes have shown promising potentiality towards human health. In this juncture, it is necessary to understand and manipulate this imp...
