    Abstract: The effect of soil type and rate of germination on cowpea varieties (Vigna unguiculata) were studied. Three cowpea varieties viz, A (IT90K – 277 – 2), B (IT93K – 452 – 35) C (IT97L – 499 – 1) are planted under different soil types (sand, clay and loamy) and length of each plant with its corresponding number of leaves are recorded. The result of the... Show More

    Abstract: An oxidation-reduction catalyzing enzyme i.e. peroxidases that are produced by numerous plants and microorganism are widely known in today’s world. This enzyme can catalyze peroxide based reactions. Novel types of aromatic polymers may result from the oxidative polymerization of aromatic amines and phenols by horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) present in... Show More

    Abstract: The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex (mTOR) is an atypical serine/threonine kinase which acts as a global cellular regulator of growth and cell survival in response to environmental cues and is a member of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-related kinase family. Through the numerous inhibitions and initiations of catabolic and anabolic pr... Show More
