Plant growth promotion induced by phosphate solubilizing endophytic pseudomonas isolates
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The use of plant growth promoting bacterial inoculants as live microbial biofertilisers provides a promising alternative to chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Inorganic phosphate solubilisation is one of the major ...
Distribution of Elastic Fibres in the Human Abdominal Linea Alba
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
The linea alba (LA) supports biomechanical stress generated by intra-abdominal pressure. It is believed to contain connective tissue fibres, which provide tensile strength and pliancy. Previous studies have dwelt on collagen ...
