Boreal, Coniferous, and Deciduous Forests Boreal, deciduous, and coniferous forests each possess distinctive traits and soil characteristics. Forests soils give important contributions in nitrogen and phosphorus transformations. These transformations are dependable on the weather conditions of the forest and the type of vegetation it contains. Soil mineralogy and organic matter also play an important role in the nitrogen and phosphorus transformations on the forest floor. Boreal forests are…

Sensitivity of Cancerous C.elegans with Mitochondria Dysfunction Mitophagy is a selective autophagic elimination of damaged or excessive mitochondria, especially when cells are under adverse stress. Mitophagy has been identified as the cause of various human diseases and even cancer. In recent years, researchers gradually regard mitophagy as the target for cancer treatment, although the role of mitophagy in the developmental and metabolic process of cancer is still not clear. In this…

While there is a belief that humans have evolved from apes, religion has an explanation. Evolution is the theory that modern life has descended from a common ancestor, through the process of natural selection. Faith on the other hand, claims that life was created in the form it is today with some alterations from God. Since evolution was found it has been debated by all faiths. Evolution generates an explanation for the origin of life which is not necessary when there is religion, logic, and…

Different gene silencing methods are being used in biomedical research for the development of potential disease therapeutics. Most of these methods are similar in that they involve the disabling of mRNA by preventing it from being translated into a protein. They differ in the type of molecule used to disrupt mRNA. Due to these differences, each silencing method has specific advantages and disadvantages. Two of the most currently understood methods of gene silencing are RNA interference…

The fungi Alternaria is a phyto-pathogen cause leaf blight disease to variety of plants. Alternaria alternata and Alternaria helianthi was isolated from Dalbergia sissoo L. and Helianthus annuus L. respectively. Test antagonists grow faster than the pathogen and produced inhibition zones thereby limiting the growth of the pathogen. These antagonistic interactions influence the incidence and severity of the disease caused by the pathogen. When the two Alternaria spp. were tested by dual culture…

Parasites are one of the four major classes of pathogenic organisms that cause infectious diseases (Janeway et al., 2001). They are replete in Sub Sahara Africa because of suitable climate and socio-economic situation favouring their growth and that of their vectors leading to easy spread and perennial persistence of parasitic diseases in the population (Pullan and Brooker, 2008; Froeschke et al., 2010, Patz et al 2000). Plasmodium falciparum is the commonest specie of Plasmodium parasite…
