Lignin is a complex aromatic polymer found in plant cell walls that makes up 15 to 40% of plant biomass. The degradation of lignin substructures by bacteria is of emerging interest because it could provide renewable alternative feedstocks and intermediates for chemical manufacturing industries. We have isolated a bacterium, strain SG61-1L, that rapidly degrades all of the stereoisomers of one l...

Genetic enhancement of cassava aimed at increasing production and productivity through the provision of broad-based improved germplasm is a major goal for Cassava breeders. At IITA, Nigeria, eighteen varieties comprising twelve landraces and six broad-based and improved varieties were evaluated at four locations in 3 years in a randomized complete block design in four replicates to determine va...

This study was carried out to determine the stability of promising waxy maize (10 candidates, 2 standard varieties) genotypes in terms yield, yield components and quality characteristics different environments for two years (2018-2019) under Samsun conditions. The GGE AMMI biplot analysis were used genotypes. experimental lay randomized blocks with 3 replications. Mean grain yields ranged from ...
