Loss of pod strings in common bean is associated with gene duplication, retrotransposon insertion and overexpression of PvIND
(2022-06)
Fruit development has been central in the evolution and domestication of flowering plants. In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), the principal global grain legume staple, two main production categories are distinguished by ...
Nematode assemblages, food web indices and metabolic footprints in maize-pigeon pea agro-ecosystems
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-08-02)
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) are important food crops in developing countries due to
their multiple benefits. However, their production is constrained by plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) which ...
Nematode diversity and its association with soil properties in monocrop pigeon pea
(Elsevier Ltd, 202-07-03)
Pigeon pea is a versatile pulse crop grown in semi-arid regions of Kenya; however, its production is affected by
plant-parasitic nematodes. The current study was undertaken to investigate the diversity of nematodes and ...

Evaluating the surface functional groups on banana leaf petioles and the resultant biochar for potential adsorbance
(JMES, 2020)
The presence of surface functional groups is key to the performance of an adsorbent
material. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of functional groups on banana
leaf petiole and on biochar made from ...
Ranks and Subdegrees of External Direct Product of Cn Dr Acting on X Y
(UoEm, 2020)
In this paper, transitivity, ranks and subdegrees of the action of ex-
ternal direct product of Cyclic and Dihedral group on Cartesian Product
of two sets are determined. The action is proved to be transitive. Also,
it's ...
Rank and Subdegrees of PGL(2; q) Acting Cosets of PGL(2; e) for q an Even Power of e
(UoEm, 2019)
The action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal
subgroups has been studied. For instance, [9] studied the action of G
on the cosets of PGL(2; e) when q is an odd prime power of e. In this
paper, we ...
Action of PGL(2,q) on the Cosets of the Centralizer of an Eliptic Element
(Uoem, 2021-08-19)
Most researchers consider the action of projective general group on the cosets of its maximal subgroups
leaving out non-maximal subgroups. In this paper, we consider the action of PGL(2,q) centralizer of an
elliptic ...
