(2015)
Twenty coffee genotypes were characterized comprising of eleven F1 interspecific Arabusta hybrids,
three induced tetraploid Robusta parental genotypes, four Arabica parental genotypes, one diploid
Robusta accession and ...
Morphological Characterization of Some Wild and Cultivated Watermelon (Citrullus Sp.) Accessions in Kenya
(2009-03)
Genetic diversity and relatedness were assessed among three most common commercial watermelon cultivars in Kenya; one newly introduced commercial cultivar from the U.S., one Kenyan landrace and one wild (Citrullus colocynthis) ...
Genetic Diversity of Cassava Mutants, Hybrids and Landraces Using Simple Sequence Repeat Markers
(SCIENCEDOMAIN international, 2014-10-11)
Aims: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a crop with largely unexplored and unexplained potentially valuable genetic variability. The knowledge and understanding of the extent of genetic variation of cassava germplasm ...
Isolation, Characterization and Identification of Enterobacteriaceae from well water in Juja Town in Kenya
(2009)
Water for docmestic use is increasingly becoming a scarce resource forcing communities to resort to underground water sources. However, increasing wells and boreholes are facing threats of pullution from sewage. Water ...
Morphological Characterization of Five Newly Developed Lines of Arabica Coffee as Compared to Commercial Cultivars in Kenya
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2010)
Five new lines of Arabica coffee and two existing commercial cultivars planted in the field were characterized morphologically. The objective of this study was to determine the level of morphological variation within and ...
Antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from Nairobi River.
(2006)
This study aimed to evaluate the antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from six sites along the pollution gradient of Nairobi River. Bacteria were isolated by standard Methods and grouped into 3 categories; enteric ...

(Elsevier, 2018-11)
comprehensive assessment of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for 354 causes in
195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2017. Previous GBD studies have shown how the decline of mortality ...
Biochemical Composition Within Coffea arabica cv. Ruiru 11 and Its Relationship With Cup Quality
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2014-01-14)
Biochemical composition appears to be influenced by both genetic factors and plant growth conditions. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the biochemical composition of selected Ruiru 11 sibs and its relationship ...
Assessment of Four Commercial Watermelon Cultivars and one Local Landrace for Their Response to Naturally Occurring Diseases Pests and Non-Pathogenic Disorders in Sub-Humid Tropical Conditions
(Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN), 2008-09)
Four commercial watermelon cultivars available in Kenya and one local landrace were evaluated for their susceptibility/resistance to naturally occurring diseases, pests and non-pathogenic disorders. The accessions included ...
