Introduction Plant diseases need to be controlled to maintain the quality and abundance of food, feed, and fiber produced by growers around the world. Different approaches may be used to prevent, mitigate or control plant diseases. Beyond good agronomic and horticultural practices, growers often rely heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.Biological control as it is […]

1. Introduction Industrial pollution has increased in recent decades at an alarming rate. The textile industry is one of the major contributors to the economic growth of a country (22). However, the expansion of the textile industry has led to major environmental concerns. Textile effluents are wastewater produced by the textile industry through a variety
Plants are integral parts of human civilization. They provide mankind with basic food, shelter, clothes, and medicines[8, 34,28]. Plants also serve the purpose of indicating environmental pollution. The different tribal groups used different plants as indicators of seasons and ecological processes[13,23,25].The traditional knowledge ofecological indicators and calendars associated with seasonal variation serves as a

It has been decades since lung cancer has been a global health burden for cancer-related mortalities across the globe, mainly due to its diagnosis at a very late stage and lack of effective treatment strategies(1). The complexity of the molecular pathways that cause tumorigenesis and lead to resistance to therapy has posed a major obstacle
Plants have long served as invaluable resources in the quest for novel therapeutic agents, largely due to their rich array of bioactive compounds such as antioxidants, hypoglycemic agents, and hypolipidemic constituents. A substantial proportion of modern pharmaceutical drugs are either directly derived from plants or modeled after plant-based compounds, highlighting the pivotal role of flora
Introduction Transcriptomes are the complete set of messenger RNAs derived from DNA and the study of transcriptomes falls under the discipline Transcriptomics. With the advancement of Genomics, several new disciplines have been developed such as Proteomics, Transcriptomics, Metabolomics, Microiomics, DNA Adductomics to understand complex biological processes leading to the identification of different problems and

1. Introduction Water stress is a major factor limiting crop production, particularly in the cotton-growing zone of Cameroon. It affects plant growth by inducing morphological, physiological and biochemical changes linked to the expression of genes associated with drought tolerance [8]. To survive, plants develop adaptation mechanisms, such as the accumulation of osmotic substances (proline, betaine,
INTRODUCTION African walnut (Tetracarpidium conophorum Mull. Arg) is aneconomic tropical climber tree widely grown for its edible nut (2;17). The plant is mostly known as African walnut or conophor nut. It belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. In Nigeria, it is known by different names among the Yoruba tribe, Igbo, Hausa and the Bini tribe of
INTRODUCTION Viral respiratory tract diseases are driven by a range of viruses that have common characteristics and affect both the upper and lower respiratory tract compartments. Thus, respiratory viral infections are a major public health problem for human communities, causing millions deaths annually worldwide [1]. Many cases of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), about 80
