Oral lipid-based nanoformulation of tafenoquine enhanced bioavailability and blood stage antimalarial efficacy and led to a reduction in human red blood cell loss in mice
(Dovepress, 2015-02-20)
: Tafenoquine (TQ), a new synthetic analog of primaquine, has relatively poor
bioavailability and associated toxicity in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)-deficient
individuals. A microemulsion formulation of TQ ...
In Vitro Callus Induction and Shoot Regeneration from Leaf Explants of Glinus lotoides (L.)—An Important Medicinal Plant
(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 ...
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 ...
Prospects of Biotechnology in Grape Breeding
(Journal of Advances in Agriculture, 2015-10-19)
Genetic improvement of grape cultivars to obtain high quality wine and table grape varieties by conventional breeding methods has been difficult and time consuming. The elite grape varieties developed by conventional ...
Genetic diversity of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) from Tanzania as revealed by ISSR markers
(Journal of Advances in Agriculture, 2015-10-19)
Grapevine (Vitis viniferaL.) is a perennial horticultural crop which is used worldwide for production of wine, table grapes, dried fruits and grape juice. In spite of its importance as a cash crop, the purity of each variety ...
Screening for resistance of grape varieties to powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) disease
(Journal of Advances in Agriculture, 2015-10-20)
This study was conducted to evaluate the susceptibility of grapevine varieties to powdery mildew. Powdery mildew is a disease caused by a fungal, Erysiphe necator, and an obligate parasite of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). ...

(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2015-07-26)
The African Sandalwood plant (Osyris lanceolata ) is a threatened shrub or a small hemi-parasitic
tree endemic to East Africa and South African regions, which is being severely affected by uprooting
for oil extraction, ...
Managing Semi-Arid Rangelands for Carbon Storage: Grazing and Woody Encroachment Effects on Soil Carbon and Nitrogen.
(PLOS ONE, 2015-10-13)
High grazing intensity and wide-spread woody encroachment may strongly alter soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools. However, the direction and quantity of these changes have rarely been quantified in East African savanna ...
Can diverse herbivore communities increase landscape heterogeneity? Comparing wild and domestic herbivore assemblages in a South African savanna
(Elsevier, 2015-02)
The structure and composition of woody and grassy vegetation in savannas is strongly influenced by herbivores. In recent decades, the proportion of browsers has declined across African savannas in favour of more grazers, ...
16S rRNA Amplicons Survey Revealed Unprecedented Bacterial Community in Solid Biomedical Wastes
(Science and Education Publishing, 2015)
Despite known risks of inappropriate disposal of biomedical solid waste; most cities in developing countries are still disposing unsorted and untreated solid biomedical waste in common dumpsites. While many studies reported ...
