Agricultural risks constitute a fundamental challenge in Nigeria, hence the importance of agricultural insurance in managing farm risks cannot be underestimated.As the crop sub-sector contributes about 85% of the agricultural GDP in Nigeria, this study focussed on awareness and factors that can enhance the adoption of crop insurance among crop farm
A systemic increase in the recombination frequency upon local infection of Arabidopsis thaliana plants with oilseed rape mosaic virus depends on plant age, the initial inoculum concentration and the time for virus replication
In the past, we showed that local infection of tobacco leaves with either Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) or Oilseed rape mosaic virus (ORMV) resulted in a systemic increase in the homologous recombination frequency (HRF).Later on, we showed that a similar phenomenon occurs in Arabidopsis thaliana plants infected with ORMV.Here, we tested whether the ti
Coating Persistent Luminescence Nanoparticles With Hydrophilic Polymers for in vivo Imaging
Persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) are innovative nanomaterials highly useful for bioimaging applications.Indeed, due to their particular optical properties, i.e., the ability to store the excitation transpharm online shopping energy before slowly releasing it for a prolonged period of time, they allow in vivo imaging without auto-fluore
Integrated metabolome and transcriptome analysis of Magnolia champaca identifies biosynthetic pathways for floral volatile organic compounds
Abstract Background Magnolia champaca, commonly known as champak is a well-known tree due to its highly fragrant flowers.Champak floral scent is attributed to a complex mix of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).These aromatic flowers are widely used in flavors and fragrances industry.Despite its commercial importance, the VOC biosynthesis pathways i
