Programmed cell death-like behavior in photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile (PGMS) rice
(Academic Journals, 2011-04)
In photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile rice (Oryza sativa L.) pollen abort in long day and high temperature, and revert to fertility in short day length and low temperature growth conditions. This type of control of ...
Demarcating day-light-length from temperature effects in PGMS rice using back tracking method.
(2014)
Two near isogenic rice lines ZAU11S106 (Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile) and ZAU11F121(a ZAU11S106 whose PGMS gene has undergone reverse mutation to become a non-PGMS) were used. These two lines were studied to ...
Evaluation of photoperiod and thermosensitive genic male sterile lines for hybrid rice seeds production in Kenya
(2013)
Photo–thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (P(T)GMS) rice is a new hybrid rice technology that uses prolonged light length and high temperatures to induce sterility. This technology is being introduced in Kenya but such ...
Partial Nucleotide Sequences of Sweet Potato Leaf Curl Virus Occurring in Kenya and its Phylogenetic Relationship with other Members of Begomoviruses
(2012-11)
Sweet potato leaf curl virus has been reported in different sweet potato growing regions of Kenya. Partial nucleotide sequences of Kenyan Sweet potato leaf curl virus isolates were compared with other isolates from different ...
Segregation disortion of anthocyanin morphological marker in F2 population of cross between basmati and environment genic male sterile rice lines
(2013)
Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) is preferred by many Kenyans yet its yield per hectare is low. This challenge led to initiation of Basmati hybrid rice project in Kenya with a goal of leaping yield benefits of heterosis. ...
Tracking the expression of photosensitive genic male sterility genes in rice
(Academic Journals, 2013-11)
Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice lines contain genes that induce complete sterility in high temperature and long day light length period, and revert to fertility in optimum low temperature and short day light ...
Sensitivity of microscopy compared to molecular diagnosis of p. Falciparum: implications on malaria treatment in epidemic areas in kenya
(2011)
Detection of Plasmodium species by microscopy has been the gold standard for diagnosis of malaria for more than a century. Despite the fact that there is a significant decline in the number of positive cases reported from ...
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Colonization in the Rhizosphere of Aspilia pruliseta Schweif. ext Schweif in the Semiarid Eastern Kenya
(Sage, 2020-09)
The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to enhance soil phosphate uptake is a biological technique considered to cure
phosphate deficiency in soils. This study investigated association of Aspilia pruliseta Schweif ...
