Microsatellites from Lysiphlebus hirticornis Mackauer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a specialist primary parasitoid attacking the specialist tansy aphid, Metopeurum fuscoviride Stroyan (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-04)
Nine polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from the specialist aphid parasitoid,
Lysiphlebus hirticornis. In addition, two published loci from closely related Lysiphlebus
species were also used. Allelic diversity ...
Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction analysis of genotype x environmental interaction among sweetpotato genotypes
(2009-04-08)
Sweetpotato is an important food, feed and cash crop in Eastern Africa. Highly stable and
adaptable genotypes are important in sweetpotato productivity and evaluation across sites
would form a basis for breeding varieties ...

Archaeal Diversity in the Haloalkaline Lake Elmenteita in Kenya
(Springer-Verlag, 2009-10-06)
A non-culture approach was used to study the archaeal diversity in Lake Elmenteita, Kenya. Five different sampling points were selected randomly within the lake. Wet sediments and water samples were collected from each ...
Public perceptions towards genetically modified crops and foods in Kenya
(2009)
The broad objective of the study was to assess public perception towards Genetically Modified (GM) Crops and Foods in Kenya. The specific objectives were to find out the influence of background factors and Agro-ecological ...
Molecular detection of uncultured cyanobacteria and aminotransferase domains for cyanotoxin production in sediments of different Kenyan lakes
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-04-15)
PCR-based denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of 16S rRNA
gene fragments was used to identify the cyanobacterial phylotypes in sediments
and plankton of saline–alkaline and freshwater lakes of Kenya. ...
Changes of phytoplankton communities in Lakes Naivasha and Oloidien, examples of degradation and salinization of lakes in the Kenyan Rift Valley
(Springer, 2009)
Increasing degradation of the water quality,
caused by overuse and salinization, leads to
considerable changes of the phytoplankton composition
in Kenyan Rift Valley lakes. Exemplarily, the
phytoplankton communities ...
