Evaluation of prokaryotic diversity of five hot springs in Eritrea
(BioMed Central, 2017-09)
Background: Total community rDNA was used to determine the diversity of bacteria and archaea from water, wet
sediment and microbial mats samples of hot springs in the Eastern lowlands of Eritrea. The temperatures of ...
Yeast Extract Peptone Based Co-cultivation Media Promotes Transient GUS Expression in Tropical Maize Genotypes
(2017)
Background and Objective: Tropical maize is the most cultivated crop in sub-Saharan Africa and is a staple food to over 220 million
people. This study, evaluated the competence of four tropical maize (Zea mays L.) inbred ...
Genetic Improvement of African Maize towards Drought Tolerance: A Review
(IISTE, 2016)
Africa supports a population of over 1 billion people with over half of them depending on maize for food and
feed either directly or indirectly. Maize in Africa is affected by many stresses, both biotic and abiotic ...
Drought Response in Selected Tropical Inbred Maize Lines and Relative Expression of PARP2 Gene under Limited Water Conditions
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-04)
Drought is the leading single factor that limits maize production thus inhibiting the crops genetic potential. In
response to drought, maize and other plants synthesize Poly ADP-Ribose (PAR) protein. This process is ...
Thermotolerant bacteria of biotechnological potential from hot springs in Eritrea
(2018-06)
Thermophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that can withstand and carry out reactions efficiently
under high temperatures. This study isolated and characterised thermotolerant bacteria that produce
enzymes of potential ...
Genetic Transformation of Sweet Potato for Improved Tolerance to Stress: A Review
(2016-10)
The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam) is a major staple food in many parts of the world. Sweet potato leaves
and tubers are consumed as food and livestock feed. Biotic and abiotic stresses affect yield leading to a ...
Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Five Hot Springs in Eritrea
(IISTE, 2017-07)
Eritrea has a number of hot springs whose physicochemical characteristics are not documented. This study
examined the thermal and chemical features of five hot springs located in the eastern escarpment of Eritrea. Field
data ...
