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. ...
Comparing the yield components of three most popular commercial watermelon cultivars in Kenya with one newly introduced cultivar and one landrace
(Academic Journals, 2009-06)
High yield is a major goal for watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) breeders. The objective of this study was to compare the yield components of some watermelon accessions available in Kenya and to identify high yielding ...
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) ...
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 ...
Biosafety education relevant to genetically engineered crops for academic and non-academic stakeholders in East Africa
(2009-01-15)
Development and deployment of genetically engineered
crops requires effective environmental and food safety
assessment capacity. In-country expertise is needed to
make locally appropriate decisions. In April 2007,
biosafety ...
Toxic cyanobacteria and their toxins in standing waters of Kenya: implications for water resource use
(2006-06)
Phytoplankton biodiversity studies in Kenya's standing waters were carried out between 2001 and 2003. Toxin producing cyanobacteria were recorded in twelve water bodies. Microcystis and Anabaena were the most common species ...
