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 ...

Prokaryotic diversity and potentially pathogenic bacteria in vended foods and environmental samples
(BMC, 2021-07)
Purpose: Ready-to-eat fast food vending outlets provide a cheap and readily available food. Foodborne diseases
have been previously reported in Embu, Kenya, but data on the prokaryotic metagenome in vended foods is
scanty. ...
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 ...
