The 'Cake on the plate' syndrome ... and how specialist tansy aphids avoid extinction by hungry predators and parasitoids: insights from the use of polymorphic microsatellite markers
(2008)
It was initially shown from 12.2 m high suction trap aerial density data and later confirmed using polymorphic molecular markers (initially allozymes, later high resolution DNA markers, especially microsatellites), that ...
The 'Cake on the plate' syndrome ... and how specialist tansy aphids avoid extinction by hungry predators and parasitoids: insights from the use of polymorphic microsatellite markers

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 ...
Occurrence of Ck-1 gene conferring resistance to Coffee Berry Disease in Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 and its parental genotypes
(Scienceweb Publishing, 2014-03)
Resistance to Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) in Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 is known to be controlled by among others, the T (Ck-1) gene from Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre). The cultivar reportedly presents significant ...
Characterization of Kenyan French Bean genotypes into gene pool affiliations using allele specific markers
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2020-07)
French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a major export crop in Kenya where it serves as a cash crop for
smallholder farmers and a source of employment. However, there is limited information on
characterization of available ...
Assessment of genetic variability of passion fruit using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers
(Integrity, 2020-10)
Purple passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) is the third most important fruit crop in Kenya that is produced
for both local and export markets. In Uasin Gishu County, passion fruit had recently emerged as an important ...
