Abstract: Rauvolfia micrantha Hook. f. holds an important place in the biomedical industry because of how well it lowers blood pressure. This is because reserpine is found in the oleoresin part of the roots. Poor seed viability, a low rate of seed germination, and a huge amount of genetic variation make it hard to grow R. micrantha commercially in the traditional way. Using a semisolid nutrient culture medium, the present optimized protocol provides a perfect method for setting up aseptic cultures to make plantlets in an experiment. R. micrantha nodal explants were grown on MS medium with different quantities of cytokinins BAP/Kn/TDZ (0.5-10.0 mg/L) alone. Compared to all other concentrations of Kn/BAP alone, the most growth of shoot buds was seen at (8.0 mg/L) TDZ. As the concentration went above 8.0 mg/L, the ability of the cytokinins to make shoot buds grow slowly went down. On MS medium with......

Abstract: Abiotic stresses such as drought, salt and temperature stresses are limiting factors for crop productivity in arid and semi-arid regions and influences many aspects of plant growth and development. Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are a family of enzymes that are involved in plant metabolism and contribute to aldehyde homeostasis in plants when exposed to abiotic stress and involved in detoxification processes to eliminate toxic aldehydes. To gain a better understanding of the abiotic stress responses at molecular level, we carried out......

Abstract: In a world heavily reliant on numerous medical diagnostic tests for treatments of patients, ultrasound sonography acquires a predominant position in the healthcare domain. Doppler ultrasound is an essential and effective medical test that is used to evaluate the flow of blood through blood vessels by rebounding high-frequency from circulating red blood cells. This test enables doctors to determine the chances of fertility in human females as well as the health of the patients affected by blood cancer. The Color Doppler ultrasound produces Color Doppler scans of organs which are further examined by doctors to make critical predictions. To increase the accuracy of these predictions with the aid of technological advancements, we proposed building a deep learning model which would be trained to tailor accurate predictions and avoid human miscalculations through manual analysis.......

Abstract: Bacillus subtilisisolated from the cellulosic fermentation process was previously selected for it phosphate rock (PR) solubilization ability under anaerobic thermophilic conditions [1]. The result shows a significant decrease of pH from 5.8 to 4.6, and solubilizing 38% of the phosphorus from the PR in the reactors after 30 days of incubation at 50°C. This solubilization is the consequence of the production of organic acids during the anaerobic fermentation of grassland substrate. The mechanisms involved in these weathering processes confirmed the production of organic acids which were identified and quantified. We also tested the dissolution of PR by leaching with organic acids trade predominantly present in the acidogenic stage during the anaerobic degradation of lignocellulosic substrate by Bacillus subtilis. The study focused on acetic, lactic and citric acids with varied concentration by meseauring.....

Abstract: This study investigated the toxicity of sodium fluoride on apartate transaminase, alanine transferase, alkaline phosphatase, serum total protein, serum albumin, and the ameliorative effects of extract of Phyllantus amarus. The study consisted of six equal groups of five albino rats that were administered with sodium fluoride and the Phyllantus amarus over a period of two weeks. The result indicated toxicity of sodium fluoride on AST and ALT, indicating liver damage and the probable capacity of the extract of Phyllantus amarus to ameliorate this toxicity.

Abstract: If a solution containing duplex DNA molecule is either heated or treated with alkali, the hydrogen bonds between the two strands become unstable and the two strands start to separate this is known as denaturation or melting. Hyperchromicity is the increase of absorbance/ optical density of a material. The UV absorption is increased when the two single DNA strands are being separated, either by heat or by addition of denaturant or by lowering the pH level. The strand separation being due to increase in hyperchromicity has been related to the breakdown of hydrogen bonds between......

Abstract: Experiment on intergeneric hybridization of Heterobranchus longifilis (H.L) and Clarias gariepinus (CL) was carried out at the EMJEH Fish farm Birnin Kebbi determine growth performance and survival of the bred hatchlings. Pure crossing of Heterobranchus longifilis and Clarias .gariepinus, intergeneric crosses of male Heterobranchus longifilis with female Clarias gariepinus and male Clarias gariepinus with female Heterobranchus longifilis serve as treatments. Each treatment was replicated three times. Percentage hatchability was 41% 51% 56% and 48% for CL XCL, HL X HL, and HL X CL AND CL X HL respectively. The bred hatchlings were maintained for 12 weeks and result shows that hybrid crosses had the highest percentage survival (95% and 94.5%) and differed significantly P(<0.01) from parental crosses . Length – weight relationshipshow a strong relationship as the (P<0.01) for CL X CL and differed significantly P(<0.05) from other treatment. Both crosses exhibited good growth performances Clarobranchus (1152g) but Heteroclariashad the best growth performance of (1175g) and it is therefore recommended for farmers to culture.

Abstract: A comprehensive investigation was conducted on the diversity of freshwater fish species by the collection of monthly samples from various fish markets located in different districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. The study period spanned from August 2021 to July 2022.In recent decades, there has been a significant impact on fresh-water ecosystems due to extensive human interference, leading to the loss and degradation of habitats. Consequently, numerous fish species have faced a heightened risk of endangerment, particularly in regions where there is substantial........
