Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn Vitro Prevention of Browning in Plantain CultureInnocent Chimereze Onuoha, Chinonye Jemimah Eze, Chibuikem I.N. UnambaProblem statement: The in vitro propagation of plantain (Musa paradisiaca) is still faced with lots of challenges such as blackening or browning of tissues prior to culture due to the oxidation of phenolic compound by polyphenolic oxidase enzyme present in the tissue when excised. Approach: Understanding browning processes in plantain and possible ways of minimizing it during excision of explants … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 15,245 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMolecular Characterization of Banana (AA) Diploids with Contrasting Levels of Black and Yellow Sigatoka ResistanceClaudia Fortes Ferreira, Sebastiao Oliveira Silva, Nivia Paula Damasceno Sobrinho et al.Most banana cultivars are susceptible to many diseases, whereas Sigatoka leads to greatest yield losses. One of the strategies to overcome this disease is thorough banana genetic breeding which consists in the obtainment of improved (AA) diploids which are then crossed with triploids obtaining (AAAB) tetraploid disease resistant bananas also presenting other important agronomic characteristics. The prior knowledge of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBioethanol Production from Graminoid Weeds in Bayero University Kano: A Potential Feedstock for Future Sustainable Aviation Fuel ApplicationsAdam Salihu Kila, Sa’idu Hassan Musa, Umar Aliyu Ahmed et al.This study evaluates the potential of selected graminoid weeds from Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Nigeria, as feedstock for bioethanol production. Ten (10) abundant weed species, including Cenchrus species, Cynodon dactylon, and Setaria barbata, were subjected to physicochemical pretreatment (ultrasonication, hydrothermal treatment, and enzymatic hydrolysis) followed by fermentation using Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and their co-culture. Pretreatment significantly enhanced reducing sugar … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jul 2026 · 1,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPhytochemical Composition, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Properties of Foeniculum vulgare Essential OilSaif M. Dmour, Saqr Abushattal, Sultan Ayesh Mohammed Saghir et al.This study intended to inspect the phytochemical composition and bioactivity of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) Seed Essential Oil (FSEO) from Jordan. The EO was extracted via hydrodistillation from air-dried samples with 4.42% (v/w) yield. Twenty compounds, constituting around 98.5% of the EO were identified using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Estragole (47.15%) and Anethole (36.2%), appeared as predominant oxygenated monoterpenes compounds in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2025 · 4,640 accessesView PDFCite
