Micro RNA-26a(miR-26a)has been verified to promote osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in recent years.The main obstacles to its application in bone regeneration are instability in the physiological e...
Cowpea is a nutrient-dense legume that significantly contributes to the population’s diet in sub-Saharan Africa and other regions of the world.Improving cowpea cultivars to be more resilient to abiotic stress such as...
Cowpea protein isolate(CPI)was subjected to various dry and wet heat pretreatments followed by sequential digestion with pepsin and pancreatin;the undigested residues were isolated as the indigestible cowpea proteins(...
The novelty and suitability of the mitochondrial gene CO1 in DNA barcoding as a reliable identification tool in animal species are undisputed. This is attributed to its standardized sequencing segment of the mitochond...
The objective of this study was to determine the efficiency of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of local Bradyrhizobium isolates in soil of various fertility levels using 15N dilution technique. Local isolates wer...

Griffonia simplicifolia lectin II (GSII) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) are N-acetylglucosamine-binding lectins. Previous studies demonstrated that they have anti- insect activity, a property potentially useful i...
Vigna unguiculata L. Walp is a recalcitrant plant in terms of in vitro cell, tissue and organ differentiation, which makes it difficult to apply tissue-culture dependant approaches for obtaining stable genetic transfo...
Floral structures of six cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) cultivars were analysed for secondary plant metabolites (polyphenols, terpenoids and flavonoids) to study their relationships with resistance to Megalurothrips s...
