The interaction between Dicyma pulvinata and Fusicladium macrosporum was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Spores of D. pulvinata germinated on the surface of F. macrosporum lesions induced on artificially infected rubber plants... more
The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of leaf position, surface, and the need for entry sites, such as wounds, other pathogen lesions or natural openings, to promote infection of Quambalaria eucalypti in Eucalyptus... more
Los aguacates son un fruto de importancia comercial en el mundo y fuente de miles de empleos a nivel global. Sin embargo, este fruto es un anacronismo, un fantasma evolutivo de una era en la que megabestias se alimentaban del fruto y lo... more
Combining ability analysis was studied in a 10 x 10 diallele set of bread to understand the inheritance pattern of several yield and quality traits in bread wheat. Results showed that the GCA variances were higher than SCA variances for... more
Fungi are disease-causing agents in plants and affect crops of economic importance. One control method is to induce resistance in the host by using biological control with hypovirulent phytopathogenic fungi. Here, we report the detection... more
Most organisms have internal circadian clocks that mediate responses to daily environmental changes in order to synchronize biological functions to the correct times of the day. Previous studies have focused on plants found in temperate... more
Unquestionably, the popularity of the coffee beverage relies on its alerting attribute caffeine. However, susceptibilities to this purine alkaloid, quite frequently associated with health concerns, encouraged a significant market for... more

The emerging drug resistance bacteria increased the demand on the discovery of antibiotics from natural sources. This research was aimed to study the antibacterial reactivity; as well as the phytochemicals, of the wild type of Cyclamen... more
In this paper, we report the construction of the first composite map of cacao from linkage data of one F2 and two F1 mapping populations with a high number of codominant markers in common. The combination of linkage information from all... more
Clitoria ternatea is a perennial herb of India which is reported to possess several therapeutic properties. It is also found in China, Philippines and Madagascar. It is a vigorous, persistent, herbaceous perennial legume. Most of the... more
The physiocochemical properties of Jatropha curcas kernel oils were characterized as potential biodiesel, including oil yield per plant, seed oil content, kernel oil content, acid value, iodine value, saponification value and cetane... more
Successful production of healthy seedlings in a forest nursery can be ensured through seed treatment to enhance germination. This study assessed the effects of pre-sowing treatments on the germination of Jatropha curcas; to provide the... more
Firewood serves as the principal source of energy for cooking and heating, for many rural communities, but the impact of firewood extraction on the forest is often undermined. The present study was undertaken to assess the firewood... more
