Phylogenetic relationships within Fagonia were inferred from analyses of plastid trnL intron and nuclear ribosomal ITS DNA sequences. Sampling of the genus was nearly complete, including 32 of 34 species. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using parsimony, and Bayesian model averaging. The latter method allows model-based inference while accounting for model-selection uncertainty, and is her...


 Terpenoid contents of traditionally used ethnobotanically important plants (n=25) were determined. Ethanol extracts seeds, fruits, pods, branches, bark, rhizome and whole plant parts prepared preliminary phytochemical investigation was carried out. Total terpenoid in ethanol determined through qualitative quantitative analytical assay by Salkowski test. Results analysis revealed that the...

Regional studies have shown that climate change will affect climatic suitability for Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) within current regions of production. Increases in temperature and changes in precipitation patterns will decrease yield, reduce quality and increase pest and disease pressure. This is the first global study on the impact of climate change on suitability to grow Arabica coffee. W...

Chlorogenic acids (CGA) are the main phenolic compounds in coffee and coffee has one of the highest concentrations of CGA of all plant constituents. In this study, the levels of CGA in certain coffee (Arabica Jimma (ArJM), Arabica Nekemit (ArNK), Arabica Sidamo (ArSD), Arabica Jimma (ArJM) raw, and Arabica Jimma (ArJM) Husk) brands found in Ethiopia were determined using High Performance Liquid...
