Genetic Diversity of Ugandan Local Chicken Genotypes Inferred from Mitochondrial DNA D-loop Sequences
Illyass Yussif*, Donald Rugira Kugonza
This study aimed to examine the genetic relationship and structure of the local chicken genotypes in Uganda to serve as an essential component for improvement and conservation strategies. A set of 46 mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences among 7 chicken strain populations across Uganda was evaluated. The results revealed 5 polymorphic sites defining 7 haplotypes with the dominant (80%) haplotype, UGA
Effect of Soil Reaction (Soil pH) on the Rhizosphere Soil, Growth and Yield Performance of Root and Tuber Crops (RTCs) Production: A Review.
Princewill Ogugua Onyiba, Tochukwu Okoh, Nchedo Thecla Mbah, Adedoyin Ayobami Asa
Root and tuber crops play a crucial role in global food security, providing a significant source of nutrition and income for millions of people. The rhizosphere, the zone of soil surrounding the plant roots, is a dynamic environment that strongly influences crop growth and development. One critical factor that affects the rhizosphere's functionality is soil reaction, commonly represented by pH le
The Synergistic Effect of Combining Pituitary Gland and Ovaprim Hormone on Latency, Fertility, Hatchability, and Survival of African Clariid Catfish -Clarias Gariepinus
Paul O. Ajah*, Ifunaya Vivian Anene & Love N. Allison
The hatchability of Clarias gariepinus using pituitary extract and Ovaprim hormones was carried out at the Hatchery unit of the Fisheries Department, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria. One male to two females were used across all batch treatments (T1-T3). Batch T1 was administered 100% Ovaprim, T2 received 100% Carp Pituitary Extract-CPE, T3 a combination 50% o
Subcellular Localization of β-catenin in Submandibular Salivary Glands in Diabetic Male Rats
Maha El Shahawy
Background: Submandibular salivary gland (SMG) is a major salivary gland that is specialized for synthesis and secretion of saliva. The structure of the acini and duct system is impaired in SMG of diabetic subjects. Wnt/ꞵ-catenin signaling pathway is one of the regulators of the SMG development and regeneration. Objective: Is to assess the distribution patterns of ꞵ-catenin in adult male SMG of di
