In Ethiopia, tef is one of the most significant crops that are grown extensively as a staple cereal crop. The evaluation of genetic variability in crop species is one of the key activities in plant breeding, which supports in the creation of breeding strategies to meet a diversify objectives. A field experiment was therefore conducted to determine genetic variability, heritability, and genet ..read more

Autotetraploid rice is a new germplasm developed through diploid chromosome doubling. Hybrids developed by indica autotetraploid rice crossed by japonica autotetraploid rice has clear biological advantage on F1, causing widespread concerns for special research evolution to evaluate and utilize F1 hybrid vigor. However, the widespread fertility of F1 indica and japonica autotetraploid rice is ..read more

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important crop that constitutes staple food and income for 800 million people worldwide. Cassava yield in Cte dIvoire is reduced due to a variety of factors, including cassava mosaic disease. Despite the impact of the pathogen Cassava Mosaic Virus (CMV) on production, genetic diversity of this virus is rarely studied in Cte dIvoire. This study aims to ..read more

Disorders of sex development (DSD) when diagnosed early is important as it pose a real public health problem in Senegal. Among the supporting tools, molecular ones, which are not available everywhere are very useful. In this context, cytogenetic and molecular analyses were implemented in cytology laboratory at the Aristide Le Dantec hospital to enhance the DSDs diagnosis as well as evaluate ..read more

In Mali, Maures zebu breed has good dairy production abilities. Females are often used as a matrix in crosses in peri-urban areas with exotic breeds. Despite the enthusiasm of its productive abilities, the genetic diversity of this breed is not yet sufficiently assessed. In order to contribute to a better understanding of the genetic diversity of this breed, 82 animals were chosen from the f ..read more

The ABO and Rh (D) blood type distributions vary from one ethnic group to another. However, they play an essential part in population genetics studies, blood transfusion practices and certain medico-legal cases. Thus, this study is aimed to assess ABO and Rh (D) blood group distribution patterns among Natural and Computational Science faculty graduating class students in Woldia University an ..read more

Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae are pathogens frequently involved in urinary tract infections with high epidemic potential. The increase and spread resistance of these microbes to broad spectrum beta-lactam antibiotics are usually reported and is a real public health concern in Cte dIvoire but information on genetic variants and intragenic mutations encoding these resistances are ..read more

Agromorphological diversity structure of the elite shea trees identified in village lands and conserved in situ in the districts of Bagou and Tchologo by the shea breeding program of the University of Peleforo Gon Coulibaly (UPGC, Cte dIvoire), are not known. In the present study, we characterized the agromorphological parameters of 220 elite shea trees using a set of 12 quantitative traits ..read more

Poachers and bushmeat traders most of the time modify the wildlife materials before commercialization. Therefore, the morphological identification of species is no longer possible. However, accurate identification of the sale wildlife materials is essential for species identification, quantification and better conservation management. The aim of this study is to take advantages of specific g ..read more

The editors of the International Journal of Genetics and Molecular Biology (IJGMB) are retracting the article, Verification of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers associated with maize (Zea mays. L) streak virus resistance in early generation maize lines published in 2020 (Vol.12(1), pp. 36-45, February 2020). This is based on the corresponding authors (Solomon Shibeshi) declaration ..read more
