Genetic diversity and population structure of wild and cultivated Crotalaria species based on genotyping-by-sequencing
Muli, Joshua K.; Neondo, Johnstone O.; Kamau, Peter K.; Michuki, George N.; Budambula, Nancy L. (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. ... -
Genetic diversity and use of African indigenous vegetables especially slender leaf
Muli, Joshua K.; Neondo, Johnstone O.; Kamau, Peter K.; Budambula, Nancy (Taylor and Francis, 2020-10)African indigenous (AIVs), and traditional, vegetables play a role in food security. This review examines distribution, use, diversity, and techniques used to study AIVs with special interest on Crotalaria ... -
A hybridization technique for orphan legumes: development of an artificial interspecific pollination protocol for Crotalaria spp.
Wasonga, Mercy A.; Arunga, Ester E.; Neondo, Johnstone O.; Muli, Joshua K.; Kamau, Peter K.; Budambula, Nancy (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 ... -
Hyphaene compressa, an important palm in the arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya
Omire, Agnes; Neondo, Johnstone O.; Budambula, Nancy; Gituru, Robert; Mweu, Cecilia (2020-06)Background: Peasant agroecosystems in Kenya are considered to be a continuum of integrated traditional farming systems and natural ecosystem conservancy programs. Hyphaene compressa (doum palm) exists in arid and ... -
Phenomic characterization of Crotalaria germplasm for crop improvement
Muli, Joshua Kiilu; Neondo, Johnstone O.; Kamau, Peter K.; Odari, Eddy; Budambula, Nancy (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 ... -
Plant Hybridization as an Alternative Technique in Plant Breeding Improvement
Mwangangi, Immaculate M.; Muli, Joshua K.; Neondo, Johnstone O. (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 ...
