Climate-Smart Maize Breeding: The Potential of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbios…
Maize is part of the essential food security crops for which yields need to tremendously increase to support future population growth expectations with their accompanying food and feed demand. However, current yield increases trends are sub-optimal due to an array of biotic and abiotic factors that will be compounded by future negative climate scena…

The Principle of Interpretation of Gravity Data Using Second Vertical Derivat…
This chapter is aimed at demonstrating how the second vertical derivative method is been applied to gravity data for subsurface delineation. Satellite gravity data of some part of Northern Nigeria that lie between latitude 11°-13°E and longitude 8°-14°N obtained from Bureau Gravimetrique International (BGI) were used for demonstration. The Bougu…

Epigenetic Modifications Involved in Ageing Process: The Role of Histone Meth…
Ageing is characterized by the maintaining deterioration of homeostatic processes over time, leading to functional decline and increased risk of disease and death. Several distinct mechanisms underlying ageing have been reported and mounting shreds of evidence have shown that histone methylation, an epigenetic marker, regulates gene expression durin…
