5 Infrared Drying
(CRC Press, 2010-07-26)
This chapter will present the mechanism, techniques, and advantages of infrared (IR) drying
for various food and agricultural products. The propagation of IR radiation from a source
(considered as any material at a ...
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 ...
Utilization of proteins and nucleic acids in the study of gene function: a comparative review
(2010)
Proteomics is one of the fastest growing areas in areas of research, largely because the global-scale analysis of proteins is expected to yield more direct understanding of function and regulation than analysis of genes. ...
The diversity of rural livelihoods and their influence on soil fertility in agricultural systems of East Africa – A typology of smallholder farms
(2010)
Technological interventions to address the problem of poor productivity of smallholder
agricultural systems must be designed to target socially diverse and spatially heterogeneous farms and farming systems. This paper ...
Yield of three Commercial Watermelon Cultivars in Kenya as compared to a local landrace
(2010)
High yield is a major goal for watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) breeders. The
objective of this study was to measure the yield potential of some watermelon
accessions available in Kenya and identify high yielding ones for ...
Diallel analysis of Snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris l.) varieties for important traits
(Academic Journals, 2010-08-04)
The breeding programmes of many crops use diallel analyses because of the genetic information they offer to breeders. Six morphological and agronomic traits of Snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) were studied to investigate ...
Morphological Characterization of Five Newly Developed Lines of Arabica Coffee as Compared to Commercial Cultivars in Kenya
(ACADEMIC JOURNALS, 2010)
Five new lines of Arabica coffee and two existing commercial cultivars planted in the field were characterized morphologically. The objective of this study was to determine the level of morphological variation within and ...
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 ...
