A NOVEL STAY-GREEN MUTANT OF RICE WITH DELAYED LEAF SENESCENCE AND BETTER HARVEST INDEX CONFERS DROUGHT TOLERANCE

A Novel Stay-Green Mutant of Rice with Delayed Leaf Senescence and Better Harvest Index Confers Drought Tolerance

Three Ethyl methansulphonate (EMS)-induced stay-green mutants (SGM-1, SGM-2 and SGM-3) and their wild-type (WT), were tested for their Stay-Green (SG) and drought tolerance nature as the relation between these two attributes is not yet established in rice.In the dark induced senescence assay, SGM-3 showed delayed senescence while SGM-1 and SGM-2 sh

Salmonella Salamae and S. Waycross isolated from Nile perch in Lake Victoria show limited human pathogenic potential

Abstract Non-enterica subspecies of Salmonella enterica are rarely associated with human infections.Paradoxically, food safety legislations consider the entire genus Salmonella as shure ua874 pathogenic to humans.Globally, large amounts of seafoods are rejected and wasted due to findings of Salmonella.To inform better food safety decisions, we inve
