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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

(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 ...
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 ...
