Intra-specific genetic diversity, phylogenetic analysis and ecological preferences of Benth across Nigeria based on dataset.

Benth., commonly referred to as "African oil bean"; is a leguminous tree species that belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the family Fabaceae and it is native to the dry tropical rainforest forest of West to Central Africa. It is widely used as a resource for food, medicine, firewood, construction, arts, and craft and particularly of socio-economic and cultural value to indigenous people of southern, Nigeria.

Dataset on rbcL-based intra-specific diversity and population structure of (Jacq.) in Nigeria.

African locust bean () is a multipurpose leguminous tree species of nutritional and pharmacological value. The plant is widely distributed in Africa and across Nigeria's major agroecological areas (AEAs). Amidst declining cultivation and production, is genetically threatened in its natural habitats due to overexploitation, deforestation, wildfires and lack of improved tree management practices.

Assessment of Radium Equivalent Activity and Total Annual Effective Dose in Cassava cultivated around Ewekoro Cement Factory.

In this study, cassava tubers cultivated in the Ewekoro cement area were investigated with the aid of Hyper Pure Germanium (HPGe) detector in order to assess the radionuclide content. Twenty-seven (27) samples of both arable soil and cassava tubers were studied at different sites to the epicenter of the mining activity. The results revealed the highest activity concentrations of K-40, Ra-226, and Th-232 to be 194.

Intra-specific genetic variability dataset on gene in Lam. (Moringaceae) in Nigeria.

is an underutilized perennial tree and is widely cultivated and studied due to its multi-purpose uses. Currently, not much information exists about the (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit) gene sequence in The gene is a conserved chloroplast gene and hence can be used for phylogenetic studies of plants at higher and lower taxonomic levels. The data consists of twenty-two gene sequences, nucleotide, and amino acid compositions of collected from sixteen states across Nigeria.

rbcL gene dataset on intra-specific genetic variability and phylogenetic relationship of (Benth) S. Moore. (Asteraceae) in Nigeria.

(Benth) S. Moore (Asteraceae) commonly called "thickhead" is underutilised, indigenous to the rainforest of West and Central Africa but has also been introduced and naturalised throughout tropical and sub-tropical Asia, Australia, Tonga and Samoa. The species is an important medicinal and leafy vegetable endemic to the South-western region of Nigeria.

rbcL-based dataset on intra-specific diversity and conservation of L. (Malvaceae) in the savannah belt of Nigeria.

The African baobab species belong to the family Malvaceae and the genus . The disjointed tree thrives in arid or semi-arid regions, is native to the thorn woodlands of Africa, along tracks, and is associated with human-populated forest areas. It is considered indigenous to Central and West Africa and has been introduced to the Arabian Peninsula, South-East Asia, the Indian sub-continent, and the Caribbeans.

Nutritional, functional, and bioactive properties of african underutilized legumes.

Globally, legumes are vital constituents of diet and perform critical roles in maintaining well-being owing to the dense nutritional contents and functional properties of their seeds. While much emphasis has been placed on the major grain legumes over the years, the neglected and underutilized legumes (NULs) are gaining significant recognition as probable crops to alleviate malnutrition and give a boost to food security in Africa. Consumption of these underutilized legumes has been associated with several health-promoting benefits and can be utilized as functional foods due to their rich dietary fibers, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), proteins/essential amino acids, micro-nutrients, and bioactive compounds.

Evaluation of Efflux-Mediated Resistance and Biofilm formation in Virulent Associated with Healthcare Infections.

is a significant pathogen identified with healthcare-associated infections. The present study evaluates the role of biofilm and efflux pump activities in influencing high-level resistance in virulent strains in clinical infection. Phenotypic resistance in biotyped ( = 147) from diagnosed disease conditions was classified based on multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) indices and analysed with logistic regression for risk factors.

gene in global molecular data repository.

The ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase () gene sequence data in the molecular data repository has been increasing significantly, over the years with contributions from different parts of the world. The abundance of the gene has enhanced its applications in several ways. Bulk records were obtained from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database using the entrez efetch utility as implemented in the Biopython package version 1.

Dataset on rbcL-based intra-specific diversity of Benth: (Apocynaceae) in South-East Nigeria.

(Apocynaceae) is a versatile plant of nutritional and medicinal value and is widely distributed and endemic to the South-Eastern region of Nigeria. The plant is relatively wild and its natural habitat is threatened by deforestation, excessive exploitation and constant expansion of the urban areas into its endemic space. Hence, there is a need to understand its genetic diversity for breeding and conservation.

Antimicrobial Importance of Medicinal Plants in Nigeria.

Despite the success of antibiotic discovery, infectious diseases remain the second leading source of death worldwide, while the resistance to antibiotics is among the significant problems in the twenty-first century. Medicinal plants are very rich in phytochemicals which can be structurally optimized and processed into new drugs. Nigeria enjoys a diverse collection of medicinal plants, and joint research has ascertained the efficacy of these plants.

In vivo antioxidant assessment of two antimalarial plants-Allamamda cathartica and Bixa orellana.

Objective: To determine the free radical scavenging potentials pytochemical constituents of ethanol leaves extracts of Allamanda cathartica (A. cathartica) and Bixa orellana (B. orellana) and thus their effects in antimalarial activities.
