Nanocomposite Packaging Delays Lignification of Flammulina Velutipes by Regulating Phenylpropanoid Pathway and Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Metabolisms
(Elsevier, 2020)
Lignification is an important inducement of quality deterioration of postharvest Flammulina velutipes. In this study, phenylpropanoid pathway and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolisms were taken as ...
Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles by Rivina Humilis Leaf Exact to Tackle Growth of Brucella Species and other Perilous Pathogens
(Elsevier, 2020)
Novel approaches are obligatory to treat chronic intracellular bacterial infectious diseases like Brucellosis specifically, are very complicated to deal with. The aim of the study to take upon nanotechnology approach to ...
Isolation, characterization and HepG-2 inhibition of a novel proteoglycan from Flammulina velutipes.
(Elsevier, 2021)
Flammulina velutipes has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and many bioactive properties with high contents of carbohydrate, proteins and fibers. In this study, a novel proteoglycan with polysaccharide ...
Transcriptome analysis reveals the underlying mechanism of nanocomposite packaging in delaying quality deterioration of Flammulina velutipes.
(Elsevier, 2021)
To expound the molecular mechanism of nanocomposite packaging material (Nano-PM) in delaying quality deterioration of Flammulina velutipes during storage, transcriptome analysis was conducted to observe the changes of gene ...
Isolation, Purification and Identification of Immunologically Active Peptides from Hericium erinaceus
(Elsevier, 2021)
Biologically active peptides released by proteins are important in regulating immunity. The purpose of this study was to isolate and purify an immunologically active peptide from Hericium erinaceus (H. erinaceus) and to ...
Differential virulence of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense isolates does not influence the outcome of treatment with anti-trypanosomal drugs in the mouse model
(2020)
We assessed the virulence and anti-trypanosomal drug sensitivity patterns of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (Tbr) isolates in the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization-Biotechnology Research Institute ...
In vitro antiplasmodial, cytotoxicity assay and partial chemical characterization of Kenyan Physalis peruviana L. (Solanaceae family) extracts
(Journal of Medicinal Plants Research, 2020)
Malaria is a protozoan infection of Public health concern with several new cases yearly reported. Control of malaria infections is constrained due to the toxicity of currently available drugs and the emergence of resistant ...
The effect of invasive species Lantana Camara L. on soil nutrients at Ol-Donyo Sabuk National Park, Kenya
(African Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2020)
The aim of this study was to establish whether the invasive plant Lantana camara L. alters the soil chemical properties at Ol-Donyo Sabuk National Park. The key objective was to evaluate the soil nutrient composition in ...
Soil properties and their influence on tree species distribution on and off the floodplain in the Tana River area of Kenya
(Journal of Sustainability, Environment and Peace, 2020)
Variation in soil properties can influence plant composition and distribution in river floodplains of semi-arid regions. Soil data were collected alongside tree species data on and off the Tana River floodplain in South-eastern ...
Selenium deficiency risk in central Kenya highlands: an assessment from the soil to the body
(Springer, 2020)
Selenium (Se) deficiency is associated with increased risk of clinical disorders. Yet, it has not been considered as an important public health issue in Africa. The health burden of this ‘hidden hunger’ remains largely ...
