Low technology tissue culture materials for initiation and multiplication of banana plants
(African Crop Science Society (Uganda), 2010)
Tissue culturing has become a routine method for propagating plants in high technology laboratories. The cost of
production using conventional tissue culture is, however, high for most of the countries in the sub-Saharan ...
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from immature embryos of tropical maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines
(2008)
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration was achieved from immature embryos of six maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines (CML216, CML78, CML331, TL18, TL27 and MU25). Callus was initiated on N6 medium supplemented with ...
Biological nitrogen fixation in selected legumes of the semi-arid Makueni District of Southeast Kenya
(Der Tropenlandwirt-Journal of Agriculture in the Tropics and Subtropics, 1999)
The major objective of this study was to investigate biological nitrogen fixation in two main legumes (green gram and common bean) grown in semi-arid southeast Kenya. Nodulation experiments on the two legumes were carried ...
Identification and Detection of Fungal Growth on Freeze‐dried Agaricus Bisporus using Spectra and Olfactory Sensors
(Wiley Online Library, 2019)
Fungal contamination in food products leads to mustiness, biochemical changes, and undesirable odors, which result in lower food quality and lower market value. To develop a rapid method for detecting fungi, hyperspectral ...
Ultrahigh-Pressure Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics Reveal the Mechanism of Methyl Jasmonate in Delaying the Deterioration of Agaricus bisporus
(2019)
Conquering rapid postripeness and deterioration of Agaricus bisporus is quite challenging. We previously observed that methyl jasmonate (MeJA) pretreatment postponed the deterioration of A. bisporus, but the mechanism is ...
Exogenous Bacterial Composition changes Dominate flavor Deterioration of dried Carrots during storage
(Elsevier, 2019)
Flavor deterioration is a serious problem in dried carrots during storage and is frequently accompanied by water absorption and bacterial growth. To explore the underlying mechanism of flavor deterioration, relationship ...
Nanocomposite packaging regulates extracellular ATP and programed cell death in edible Mushroom (Flammulina velutipes)
(Elsevier, 2019)
Our previous study indicated that nanocomposite packaging material (Nano-PM) containing nano-Ag, nano-TiO2, nano-SiO2 and nanoattapulgite alleviated postharvest senescence of Flammulina velutipes by regulating respiration ...
Isolation and Testing the Cholesterol reduction ability (in vitro) of Lactococcus Lactis from Fermented smooth Pigweed (Amaranthus hybridus) leaves.
(African Scholarly Science Communication Trust, 2011)
Probiotics are live microbial feed supplements, which positively affect the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance. Studies have shown probiotic activities of Lactococci isolated from dairy foods, which ...
Antiproliferative and Immunostimulatory activity of a Protein from Pleurotus Eryngii
(Wiley, 2014)
Currently, the use of mushrooms as functional foods, nutraceuticals or phytopharmaceuticals source has risen. In contrast, the possible cellular cytotoxicity and immunostimulatory activity of Pleurotus eryngii (DC. ex Fr.) ...
Purification, Characterization and Antitumor Activity of Polysaccharides from the Residue of Pleurotus eryngii
(Elsevier, 2014)
A novel water-soluble polysaccharide from Pleurotus eryngii residue was isolated and further purified by DEAE cellulose-52 chromatography and Sephadex G-100 size-exclusion chromatography to yield PEPE-1, PEPE-2 and PEPE-3. ...
