Antioxidant Enzyme Activities of the Leaves of Groundnut (Arachis hypogeae L.) Planted on Crude Oil-Contaminated Soil

ABSTRACT: Antioxidant enzyme activity of groundnut leaves planted in crude oil contaminated soil was evaluated. 1.5 kg of soil each was placed in black polythene bags. They were divided into four groups (A-D) of five bags each. Each group was treated with different concentrations of crude oil (0 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml per 1.5 kg soil respectively). five seeds of Arachis hypogaea were planted in each bag.

Variations by Sex and Genotype in Morphometry of the Oropharyngeal Cavity in Nigerian Indigenous Chickens

This study was conducted with the aim of studying the variations by sex and genotype in morphometry of the Oropharyngeal Cavity in Nigerian indigenous chickens. Avian mouth and pharynx do not show any definite line of demarcation, but constitute a common Oropharyngeal Cavity. Generally, anatomical structures found in the dorsal wall of the oropharynx include the palate, choanal slit, and infundibulum, while structures in the ventral wall of the Oropharynx include a concave depression between the rami of the lower beak, laryngeal mound and glottis.
