    Abstract: The aim of this study is to elucidate the influence of apple mosaic virus (ApMV) infection on Saaz hop in the Saaz region of Czech Republic. The comparison between virus free and ApMV infection for the growth, yield and qualoties of Saaz hop was studied in one test garden in detail over two consecutive years (2010 and 2011). ApMV weakened vegetativ... Show More

    Abstract: Availability of adequate honeybee forage plants is very important for honey production. The study was therefore conducted to screen the best performing bee forages from five plant species with a view to selecting for honey production for high and mid land agro-ecologies. The planting materials were Vernonia amygdalina, Buddleja polystachya, Callist... Show More

    Abstract: This study examined the modifications made to the root system architecture of Arabidopsis thaliana when subjected to an increase in population (biotic) and a decrease in nutrient concentration (abiotic). Population density was found to have significant effect on number of root hairs (p<0.05) while nutrient concentration was found to have signifi... Show More
