Yeast Extract Peptone Based Co-cultivation Media Promotes Transient GUS Expression in Tropical Maize Genotypes
(2017)
Background and Objective: Tropical maize is the most cultivated crop in sub-Saharan Africa and is a staple food to over 220 million
people. This study, evaluated the competence of four tropical maize (Zea mays L.) inbred ...

Agro-Morphological Characterization of Kenyan Slender Leaf (Crotalaria brevidens and C. ochroleuca) Accessions
(Hindawi, 2020-04)
Slender leaf (Crotalaria spp) is among the indigenous and underutilized vegetables in Kenya whose production is limited to the Western
and Coastal regions of the country. For a long time, this crop has been neglected in ...
Drought Response in Selected Tropical Inbred Maize Lines and Relative Expression of PARP2 Gene under Limited Water Conditions
(Science Publishing Group, 2018-04)
Drought is the leading single factor that limits maize production thus inhibiting the crops genetic potential. In
response to drought, maize and other plants synthesize Poly ADP-Ribose (PAR) protein. This process is ...
Plant Hybridization as an Alternative Technique in Plant Breeding Improvement
(2019-05)
For ages, plant breeders have relied on the genetic variability that results from sexually crossing
plants within the same species. However, the variability that exists within species populations is
inadequate, hence the ...
Genetic Transformation of Sweet Potato for Improved Tolerance to Stress: A Review
(2016-10)
The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam) is a major staple food in many parts of the world. Sweet potato leaves
and tubers are consumed as food and livestock feed. Biotic and abiotic stresses affect yield leading to a ...
A hybridization technique for orphan legumes: development of an artificial interspecific pollination protocol for Crotalaria spp.
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-08)
rotalaria brevidens: and C. ochroleuca commonly grown as
vegetables have been extensively studied. However, information
on breeding techniques is scanty. This study aimed to
develop an artificial interspecific pollination ...
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. ...
