The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The experimental plot consisted of three (3) replicates with 2 treatments: organic mulch, organic Neem oil application and control. An early maturing variety of cucumber “Saira F1” was used as planting material sown in March which lasted till May. Data on insect pest population count, growth and yield parameters were studied and the data obtained were analyzed and subjected to analysis of variance using Fisher`s Least Significant Difference (LSD) at 5% probability level. The results from insect population count parameters revealed that Neem oil at 100ml application rate which recorded 10.50 and 6.00 was significantly effective in managing spotted and striped cucumber beetles respectively compared to organic mulch (3kg) which recorded 47.00 and 14.00 for spotted and striped cucumber beetles and control unit which had 61.00 and 42.00 for spotted and striped cucumber beetles respectively. Neem oil at 100ml application rate was also more effective in improving the growth and yield of cucumber plant compared to organic mulch. Hence, Farmers in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State should employ Neem oil in managing spotted and striped cucumber beetles in cucumber production as this is a promising botanical insecticide to check the activities of field cucumber beetles thereby bringing their destructive activities to a minimum and also improves yield.","PeriodicalId":506695,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"195 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141368888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research addresses the vital role of genetic diversity in agricultural sustainability and food security, highlighting the importance of genetic resources for crop improvement and ecosystem stability. The study utilized a comprehensive morphological characterization based on both qualitative and quantitative descriptors to assess genetic variability within the university's potato collection. This approach allowed for the identification of duplicates, the enhancement of a morphological database, and insights into the genetic diversity of the collections. Using techniques like Multiple Correspondence Analysis (ACM) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), distinct clusters of genotypes were identified, which were highly influenced by their ploidy levels. Results indicated significant morphological variation between diploid Phureja and tetraploid Andigenum genotypes. Phureja genotypes showed greater similarity among themselves compared to the more diverse Andigenum group. This morphological diversity is importante for the identification of specific traits beneficial for breeding programs, such as resistance to environmental stresses and diseases. The study underscores the importance of maintaining genetic diversity within potato germplasm collections, facilitating the selection of genotypes with desirable agronomic traits. The findings contribute significantly to the understanding of the genetic and morphological foundations necessary for the future genetic improvement of the potato, a staple food crop with profound implications for global food security. The geographic distribution of the genotypes also suggested a correlation between morphological traits and geographic locations, reinforcing the role of local adaptation in crop diversity and resilience.","PeriodicalId":506695,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"8 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140972968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eleven attributes were evaluated in genotypes tolerant and susceptible to drought stress. The genotypic variation of the materials was evaluated with a total of 968 SNP-type molecular markers, subjected to two soil moisture conditions. Association analysis was performed using the GWASpoly program to determine possible allelic interactions between genotypes with different ploidy levels. Analyses were corrected using population structure and parentage matrix as fixed cofactors. Significant SNPs were associated with phenotypic characteristics under contrasting water conditions for traits such as days to flowering, relative water content, tuber number and plant height. MYC-type transcription factors were associated with plant height, number of tubers per plant and plant water balance, demonstrating the multifunctionality of these regulatory proteins. While the HOS1 gene could be linked to the reduction of flowering time.

Although the mallard duck is widely perceived to be of exotic extraction, there is a dearth of information about its origin or how they got introduced into the country, leaving the subject to speculation. Hence this study was carried to trace the evolutionary ancestry of the mallard in Nigeria using the maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA marker. 603bp region of the mtDNA was analyzed following standard extraction and amplification, with specific primers. 20 Nigerian duck sequences in addition to 20 sequences harvested from Genbank representing major native regions of the Anas platyrhynchos, were used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees and matrices. The results revealed a strong genetic relationship between the Nigerian and Western European, particularly British ducks, and a weak lineage with ducks of Egyptian, Asian and Australasian extraction. The study reveals that the Nigerian mallard ducks are evolutionary descendants of the British mallard, whose ancestors would have been introduced into the country following the North-South trans-Atlantic maritime routes during the colonial era. The study did not find any evidence of a trans-Saharan introduction of the mallard into Nigeria from Asia via Egypt. Findings from this research sheds further light on the global dispersion of the duck from its original evolutionary epicenter in South-East Asia, and may be used for designing breeding programs.","PeriodicalId":506695,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140998938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The order of Orthoptera is divided into 02 sub-orders: that of Caelifera includes 03 families: those of Pamphagidae, Pyrgomorphidae and Acrididae. The second suborder, which of the Ensifers, comprises 2 families: those of the Gryllidae and the Tettigoniidae. The order Mantoptera includes the family Mantidae. The order Dermaptera has only one family, that of Forficulidae. Of the 3 Cistaceae, 25 species of Orthopteroids have been inventoried. Cistus ladaniferus has 16 species; C.salvifolius and C. monspeliensis have 15 species respectively. Orthoptera are the most numerous. We count 13 species on the sage-leaved cistus.Two species of Mantidae are found on the rockrose. Mantis religiosa is found in the different stations of Cistaceae.
