(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2015-06-05)
G. lotoides L. is a threatened plant that is frequently harvested for medicinal purpose. However, its
distribution in the world is limited because of short period of seed viability and poor seed germination.
The objective ...
Inadequate management of complementary foods contributes to the risk of aflatoxin exposure and low nutrition status among children
(World Mycotoxin Journal, 2018-11-22)
Early exposure to aflatoxins through complementary food is linked to impaired growth in childhood. The current study assessed the household’s practices on management of complementary foods in relation to the risk of aflatoxin ...
A preliminary study of T-2 and HT-2 toxins in cereals sold in traditional market in South Korea
(Elsevier Ltd., 2011-08)
Fusarium species are responsible for the production of harmful trichothecenes mycotoxins in cereals. These mycotoxins are cytotoxic, potentially immunosuppressive and potent fast-acting inhibitors of protein and nucleic ...
Herbaceous Forage and Selection Patterns by Ungulates across Varying Herbivore Assemblages in a South African Savanna
(PLOS ONE, 2013-12-16)
Herbivores generally have strong structural and compositional effects on vegetation, which in turn determines the plant forage species available. We investigated how selected large mammalian herbivore assemblages use and ...
Effects of clipping and irrigation on carbon storage in grasses: implications for CO2 emission mitigation in rangelands
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2018-04-03)
Understanding how individual grasses respond to herbivory and rainfall has been hampered by the difficulty of quantifying above- and belowground carbon (C) storage in grasses. Particularly by restoring degraded rangelands ...

Optimal formulations of local foods to achieve nutritional adequacy for 6–23-month-old rural Tanzanian children
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017-07-30)
Background: Achieving nutritional goals of infants and young children while maintaining the
intake of local and culture-specific foods can be a daunting task. Diet optimisation using linear
goal programming (LP) can ...
Analysis of nutritional adequacy of local foods for meeting dietary requirements of children aged 6-23 months in rural central Tanzania
(Archives of Public Health, 2017-08-17)
Under nutrition remains a serious problem among children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Analysing how
diets composed of local foods could achieve nutritional goals for infants and young children in low-income
settings is essential. ...
Molecular Genetic Diversity of Grapevines to Produce Powdery mildew Resistant Genotypes
(American Journal of Research Communication, 2015)
Grapevine powdery mildew is a fungal disease caused by Erysiphe necator (formerly Uncinula necator) which is an obligate parasite. It is considered to be one of the most important fungal diseases in viticulture worldwide ...
