DETERMINATION OF THE RELATEDNESS, EASE OF HYBRIDIZATION AND GENE EXCHANGE AMONG MEMBERS OF THE GENUS CAPSICUM IN NIGERIA

Determination of the relatedness, ease of hybridization and gene exchange among members of the genus Capsicum in Nigeria

The fruit of Capsicum plants have a variety of names Bodysuit depending on place and type.This research was focused at studying the exchange of genes amongst members of the genus Capsicum in Nigeria.The process of interspecific and intervarietal hybridization of two (2) species of the genus Capsicum; C.annuum and C.frutasense were carried out and t

Trichostatin A stabilizes the expression of pluripotent genes in human mesenchymal stem cells during ex vivo expansion.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as ideal cells for the treatment of a variety of diseases.However, aging and spontaneous differentiation of MSCs during culture expansion dampen their effectiveness.Previous studies suggest that ex vivo aging of MSCs is largely caused by epigenetic changes particularly a decline of hist
