Molecular genotyping of selected soybean (Glycine max L.) genotypes grown in different regions of East Africa
(2010)
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) is one of the most popular pulses
because of its protein content and nodulating ability. However, most farmers and
researchers do not have sufficient genetic information of the genotypes ...
Pathogenicity of Colletotrichumkahawae in Kenya
(2017-05)
This study was aimed at determining the virulence diversity of Colletotrichumkahawae, and their correlation with coffee
growing regions and interaction with coffee varieties in Kenya. A total of 34 single conidia isolates ...
Introgression of Stem Rust Resistance into Popular Kenyan Wheat Varieties to Improve Production
(2018-02)
Aim: The objective of this study was to assess the introgression of the stem rust resistance genes
into the BC1F1 plants using molecular markers.
Place and Duration of Study: Field experiments were carried out in a ...
Genetic variability analysis for growth and yield parameters in double cross maize (Zea mays l.) genotypes in Kitale county of Kenya
(Science Journals Publishing, 2013)
Present study was conducted to select hybrids with improved yield, to identify testers for grain yield and to determine the magnitude of genetic variability in maize hybrids for yield and its elements. Adaptability of ...
Genotype variant of soybean cultivars around Lake Victoria region, East Africa
(2010-01)
Glycine gracilis, which originated from North-East China, is morphologically intermediate between the cultivated G. max and the wild form, G. soja. These three forms are cross-compatible and their crosses provide a resource ...
Combining Ability of Inbred Lines of Maize (Zea mays) in Kiambu and Embu Counties, Kenya
(Science Domain International, 2016-08)
Despite the fact that virtually all households in Kenya grow maize, over 60% of them are net maize
buyers because they do not produce enough for their consumption. This is due to both biotic and
abiotic factors such as ...
