Biologists identify honeybee 'clean' genes known for improving survival

Biologists identify honeybee 'clean' genes known for improving survival

The key to breeding disease-resistant honeybees could lie in a group of genes -- known for controlling hygienic behaviour -- that enable colonies to limit the spread of harmful mites and bacteria, according to genomics research conducted at York University.

Gum Arabic

Nigeria has not been earning the expected foreign exchange potential in gum arabic as she declined from 43.55 million dollars estimated export earnings and may have decided to establish a Scientific Research Centre in her quest for a chunk of the world market.

Planting small seeds simply: The allure of the slide hammer seeder

Maize

The development of a simply made and easy-to-use planting device could make growing important herbs and beneficial insect-attracting plants significantly more efficient and effective. The low-cost tool, known as the Slide Hammer Seeder (a jab-style seeder), gives farmers and gardeners specific control in sowing plants with very small seeds.
