(Taylor and Francis, 2022-12)
ABSTRACT
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important food
legume crop and major protein source in Kenya and many
parts of the world. However, the yields are low due to the
diseases like anthracnose caused by ...
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) growth rate, oil yield and oil quality under differing soil amendments
(Heliyon, 2022)
In this work, we examined the influence of different soil amendments namely cow manure alone (Cm), cow
manure plus fertilizer (Cm þ F), fertilizer alone (F) and unamended check, control on rosemary growth rate, fat

Performance assessment of Crosses between Gadam and Hardcore Tannin sorghum in hybrid lines production
(2022-06)
Gadam cultivar of sorghum has been characterized by low yields compared to the international yield levels
of sorghum. In this research, Gadam was crossed with Serena, Seredo, and Kari/Mtama-1 in an attempt to
increase ...
Loss of pod strings in common bean is associated with gene duplication, retrotransposon insertion and overexpression of PvIND
(2022-06)
Fruit development has been central in the evolution and domestication of flowering plants. In common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), the principal global grain legume staple, two main production categories are distinguished by ...
