Competing geochemical drivers and probabilistic health risk assessment of groundwater in the semi‑arid Voltaian sedimentary basin, Ghana

Groundwater in semi-arid sedimentary basins is a critical rural resource, but quality assessment is often weakened by geochemical complexity, compositional closure, class-boundary uncertainty and incomplete exposure information. In the Voltaian sedimentary basin of Ghana, previou...

Early-maturing, high-yielding M5 mutant lines of cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata ) derived from gamma irradiation exhibit enhanced seed protein and mineral composition: implications for nutritional biofortification

PURPOSE: Co gamma irradiation (452 Gy) of the Ghanaian cowpea cultivar Hansadua. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seeds harvested from a randomized complete block design (three replications) at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana, were analyzed for proximate composition (protein, fat, fibe...
