Generation of pig primary fibroblast cells harboring defective MC4R genes by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea mutagenesis: A gene-driven, nontransgenic approach to pig improvement
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-06)Transgenic pigs have been produced with the aim of further improving pigs in terms of economic and environmental traits, but these animals have not been allowed to enter the food chain. As an alternative approach to ... -
Genetic and environmental factors in skin color determination
(African Journal of Biological Sciences, 2019-04-12)The origin of skin color has been significantly a discussion of importance among human biology scientists, anthropologists and others interested in evolution of human skin color. Experience was done to chimpanzee and other ... -
Genetic Characterization of Arabusta Coffee Hybrids and their Parental Genotypes using Molecular Markers
(2015)Twenty coffee genotypes were characterized comprising of eleven F1 interspecific Arabusta hybrids, three induced tetraploid Robusta parental genotypes, four Arabica parental genotypes, one diploid Robusta accession and ... -
Genetic diversity among commercial coffee varieties, advanced selections and museum collections in Kenya using molecular markers
(Academic Journals, 2012-02)Molecular markers have effectively been applied to study genetic diversity and as markers of particular traits. This study assessed the diversity of twenty four (24) coffee genotypes using 10 Random Amplified Polymorphic ... -
Genetic Diversity among Sugarcane Genotypes Based on Qualitative Traits
(Hindawi, 2016-06)The study was conducted during 2012/2013 at Wonji Sugar Estate, Ethiopia, to estimate the extent of morphological diversity among sugarcane germplasm based on 16 qualitative traits. Four hundred sugarcane genotypes grouped ... -
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Doum Palm (Hyphaene compressa) Using Genotyping by Sequencing
(Frontiers, 2022-02)Doum palm (Hyphaene compressa) is a perennial economic plant primarily growing in Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). It is heavily relied upon for food, animal feed, construction materials and medicine, making it ... -
Genetic diversity and population structure of wild and cultivated Crotalaria species based on genotyping-by-sequencing
(Plos One, 2022-09)Crotalaria is a plant genus that is found all over the world, with over 700 species of herbs and shrubs. The species are potential alternative food and industrial crops due to their adaptability to different environments. ... -
Genetic diversity and use of African indigenous vegetables especially slender leaf
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-10)African indigenous (AIVs), and traditional, vegetables play a role in food security. This review examines distribution, use, diversity, and techniques used to study AIVs with special interest on Crotalaria ... -
Genetic Diversity of Alternaria solani and Phytophthora infestans isolates and their Management using crude Extracts and Essential Oils of Selected Plants in Kenya
(University of Embu, 2021-07)Kenya is rated 6 in Africa with an annual overall production of 397,007 tons of tomato fruit. Tomato production in Kenya is constrained by many biotic and abiotic factors and among them, diseases such as early and late ... -
Genetic diversity of aphid (Hemiptera: Aphididae) species attacking amaranth and nightshades in different agro-ecological zones of Kenya and Tanzania
(Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2018-12)Aphids are major pests of African indigenous vegetables. Information on the genetic diversity and the role of host crop and environmental differentiation in their diversity in East Africa is scanty. The knowledge on ... -
