CHANGING ASPECTS OF BAMBARA GROUNDNUT EXPLOITATION: 1. LIMITATIONS AND ALLEYWAYS FOR FUTURE EXPANSION by Elias Mjaika Ndifon, Magaret Chiv, Solomon Hemba Chia

“…Bambara groundnut is very rich in mineral nutrients: potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc. Efforts to increase its yield are hindered by cultural heritage, inadequate knowledge, adaptation to particular agroecological zones, lack of genetic improvement, inadequate processing, lack of functional value chains, gender stigmatization, poor land tenure systems, pests, and diseases, This review (1 of 3) was carried out to document these challenges and the efforts being made so far to overcome them.…”

Genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptome sequencing analyses of lens tissue in an age-related mouse cataract model. by Yuzhu Hu, Dongmei Su, Yue Zhang, Yanjiang Fu, Sijia Li, Xiaoya Chen, Xiao Zhang, Shunfei Zheng, Xu Ma, Shanshan Hu

“…Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional enrichment analyses showed that DEGs with abnormal methylation at CCGG sites were primarily associated with protein kinase C signaling (Akap12, Capzb), protein threonine kinase activity (Dmpk, Mapkapk3), and calcium signaling pathway (Slc25a4, Cacna1f), whereas DEGs with abnormal methylation at CCWGG sites were associated with ribosomal protein S6 kinase activity (Rps6ka3). …”
