Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) Towards Utilization of Justicia heterocarpa (Mwidu) in Kiroka Village, Morogoro Rural Tanzania

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study assessed Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) of the Waluguru community towards Justicia heterocarpa. Findings revealed a moderately positive attitude and practices but limited utilization due to a significant knowledge gap in cultivation and post‐harvest handling, as well as socio‐cultural barriers.

Microbial drivers of root plasticity

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 52-67, October 2025.
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

Unraveling the drivers of forage quality variation in the Serengeti

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Variation in forage quality is a key dimension of herbivore resource partitioning, but the main determinants of such variation across environmental gradients remain poorly understood. It is especially unclear how much variation in plant nutrient contents and stoichiometry is driven by plant species turnover versus by intraspecific variation ...

Screening Cultivated Eggplant and Wild Relatives for Resistance to Bacterial Wilt (Ralstonia solanacearum)

Agriculture, 2019
Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is highly diverse and the identification of new sources of resistance for the incorporation of multiple and complementary resistance genes in the same cultivar is the best strategy for durable and stable ...

Motivations for Herbal Medicine use During Pregnancy and Childbirth in Butiama District, Tanzania: A Phenomenological Qualitative Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Herbal medicine remains a popular choice among rural pregnant women in Tanzania, despite the availability of modern antenatal care. While about 80% of Africans use plant‐based remedies for issues like infections, nausea, and labour induction, most studies in Tanzania have been quantitative, failing to explore the deeper ...

Exploring the genomic diversity and breeding applications of the Solanum sessiliflorum transcriptome via phylogenetic analysis

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Compelling evidence supports the potential application of wild crop relatives in Solanum breeding. Efforts have been made to generate genomic data from wild Solanum plants to assess the insertion of advantageous traits into crop species. South America hosts a broad range of plants that have not been widely evaluated at the molecular level ...
