Proximity to Woodland and Landscape Structure Drives Pollinator Visitation in Apple Orchard Ecosystem
(Crossmark, 2016-04)
Landscapes of farms and adjacent areas are known to influence abundance of various
arthropods such as pollinators in commercial agricultural ecosystems. In this context, we
examined the effect of heterogeneous landscapes ...
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 ...
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 ...

(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.

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 ...
Genetic diversity of determinate French beans grown in Kenya based on morpho-agronomic and simple sequence repeat variation
(Academic Journals, 2015-08)
French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Kenya is cultivated predominantly in the Central, Eastern and Rift Valley provinces. Despite its importance as an export commodity, there has been little breeding effort devoted to ...
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 ...
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 ...
