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 ...
Morphological characterization of Kenyan native wood ear mushroom [Auricularia auricula (L. ex Hook.) Underw.] and the effect of supplemented millet and sorghum grains in spawn production
(2011)
Utilization of mushrooms collected from the wild requires adequate description of useful phenetic features and domestication protocols. This study investigated morphological characters and spawn production procedures of ...
Isolation, characterization and identification of roundup degrading bacteria from the soil and gut of Macrotermes michaelseni
(2013-09-10)
Roundup degrading bacteria were isolated from the soil and gut of fungus cultivating termites Macrotermes michaelseni using MM7 media supplemented with the pesticide as the sole source of carbon and energy. The isolates ...

Roundup degrading bacteria were isolated from the soil and gut of fungus cultivating termites Macrotermes michaelseni using MM7 media supplemented with the pesticide as the sole source of carbon and energy. The isolates ...
Analysis of genetic diversity in Eucalyptus grandis (Hill ex Maiden) seed sources using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) molecular markers
(Academic Journals, 2008-07-04)
Eucalyptus grandis is an economically important tree species that is native to the Australian continent and its northern neighbours, where it is grown primarily for its hard wood timber and pulp for paper industries. It ...
Uncovering the tracks of a recent and rapid invasion: the case of the fruit fly pest Bactrocera invadens in Africa.
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009-09-10)
Phytophagous insects of the genus Bactrocera are among the most economically
important invasive fruit fly pests. In 2003, an unknown Bactrocera species was found
in Kenya. First identified as an ‘aberrant form’ of the ...
Expression of metallothionein and tubulin in heavy metal-tolerant Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (Diptera:Culicidae).
(Elsevier, 2010)
Anopheles mosquitoes have been shown to adapt to heavy metals in their natural habitats.
In this study we explored the possibility of using Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto as bioreporters for environmental heavy metal ...
The Glossina proteolytic lectin (Gpl) gene is expressed only in members of Glossina species
(2007-12)
Differentiation of bloodstream-form trypanosomes into procyclics in tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) is a crucial step in the establishment of midgut infections. A number of factors have been implicated in the transformation ...
