Ex vivo culture of hematopoietic stem cells is limited by the inability of cytokines to maintain primitive cells without inducing proliferation, differentiation, and subsequent loss of repopulating capacity. We identified recently in extracts of kidney bean and hyacinth bean a mannose-binding lectin, called FRIL, and provide here evidence that this protein appears to satisfy properties of a ste...

Using water hyacinth [Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms) for wastewater renovation produces biomass that must be disposed of. This biomass may be anaerobically digested to produce CH4 or added to soil directly as an amendment. In this study, fresh and anaerobically digested water hyacinth biomass, with either low or high N tissue content, were added to soil to evaluate C and N mineralization c...

Abstract. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is an invasive hydro plant that invaded the waters of Lake Victoria and has since been spreading rapidly affecting socio-economic livelihood community around Lake. The weed's rapid spread due to various anthropogenic activities in surrounding environment among them being eutrophication lake waters.This study aims at using remote sensing applicatio...

The pollution of crude oil contaminated water has been a major problem in oil producing communities and the use of plant to clean such water bodies has been on investigation. In order to identify plants that can enhance the remediation of crude oil contaminated water, the effect of the growth of Eichhornia crassipes on the physico chemistry and crude oil content of water contaminated with diffe...
