The molecular mechanism of aging, which has been a “black box” for many years, elucidated in recent and the nematode C. elegans, is model animal aging research, played major role its elucidation. From analysis elegans longevity-related mutant genes, signal transduction systems, with insulin/insulin-like growth factor system at core, have emerged. It become clear that this greatly affected by ex...

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a well-established multicellular model organism has been widely used in the biological field for half century. Its numerous advantages including small body size, rapid life cycle, high-reproductive rate, well-defined anatomy, and conserved genome, made C. one of most successful organisms. Discoveries obtained from have great contributions to research field...

zinnia elegans, an annual flowering plant of the genus zinnia, is one of the best known zinnias. present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different growing media on the growth and flowering of zinnia elegans. seven different growth media including coconut compost, silt, soil loam, leaf manure, (leaf manure + silt; 2:1), (coconut compost + soil loam; 1:1) and (leaf manure + soil loa...

Conversion of urban wastes to utilizable sugars is very important as a vital step towards reduction environmental pollution. Consequently, this work was aimed at obtaining cellulase from the gut Oryctes rhinoceros larvae raffia palms in Itokin, Lagos State, Nigeria evaluate its degradability potential on different plant leaves and selected plastic bottles. Cellulase partially purified by combin...
