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 ...
Witchweed’s Suicidal Germination: Can Slenderleaf Help?
(MDPI, 2020-06)
The parasitic plant Striga hermonthica (Delile) Benth. is stimulated to germinate by
biomolecules (strigolactones) produced in the roots of host and some non-host plants. Non-hosts
induce Striga’s suicidal germination ...
Phenomic characterization of Crotalaria germplasm for crop improvement
(Cabi, 2021-03)
Background: Diversifcation of global food systems through exploration of traditional varieties and wild edible plant
species is a focal mitigation strategy for food security worldwide. The present study determined the ...
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. ...
