Production of Hybrid Basmati Rice in Kenya: Progress and Challenges
(2013)
Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile (PGMS) and Thermosensitive genic male
sterile (TGMS) rice varieties require a long day light length and high temperature
respectively growth conditions for them to be completely ...
Tracking the Expression of Photosensitive Genic Male Sterility Gene in Rice
(2013-09)
Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile rice lines contain genes that induce complete male sterility in high
temperature and long day light length period, but are male fertile under low temperature ...
Potential of Bio-/Agro-Terrorism in Kenya
(2015-08)
The growing Biotechnology and Bio-Engineering may have by commensurate measure
contributed to bio-terrorism. This has led to stringent measures to deal with it especially,
in developed economies like the ...
Molecular Characterisation and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Escherichia Coliisolates from Goats Slaughtered in Parts of Kenya
(2013-02)
Objective: To determine the antibiotic resistance patterns of pathogenic Escherichia
coli on goat meat carcass at Huruma and Kiserian abattoirs in Kenya.
Design: Laboratory based study.
Setting: Huruma and Kiserian ...
Molecular characterization and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Escherichia Coli Isolates from Goats Slaughtered In Parts of Kenya
(Research Gate, 2013-01)
Objective: To determine the antibiotic resistance patterns of pathogenic Escherichia coli on goat meat carcass at Huruma and Kiserian abattoirs in Kenya.
Design: Laboratory based study.
Setting: Huruma and Kiserian ...
Programmed cell death-like behavior in photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile (PGMS) rice
(Academic Journals, 2011-04)
In photoperiod-sensitive genic male sterile rice (Oryza sativa L.) pollen abort in long day and high temperature, and revert to fertility in short day length and low temperature growth conditions. This type of control of ...
Demarcating day-light-length from temperature effects in PGMS rice using back tracking method.
(2014)
Two near isogenic rice lines ZAU11S106 (Photoperiod sensitive genic male sterile) and ZAU11F121(a ZAU11S106 whose PGMS gene has undergone reverse mutation to become a non-PGMS) were used. These two lines were studied to ...
Evaluation of photoperiod and thermosensitive genic male sterile lines for hybrid rice seeds production in Kenya
(2013)
Photo–thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (P(T)GMS) rice is a new hybrid rice technology that uses prolonged light length and high temperatures to induce sterility. This technology is being introduced in Kenya but such ...
Partial Nucleotide Sequences of Sweet Potato Leaf Curl Virus Occurring in Kenya and its Phylogenetic Relationship with other Members of Begomoviruses
(2012-11)
Sweet potato leaf curl virus has been reported in different sweet potato growing regions of Kenya. Partial nucleotide sequences of Kenyan Sweet potato leaf curl virus isolates were compared with other isolates from different ...
Segregation disortion of anthocyanin morphological marker in F2 population of cross between basmati and environment genic male sterile rice lines
(2013)
Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.) is preferred by many Kenyans yet its yield per hectare is low. This challenge led to initiation of Basmati hybrid rice project in Kenya with a goal of leaping yield benefits of heterosis. ...
