  • Evaluation of seed quality attributes of sorghum germplasm accessions from Eastern, Coastal and Nyanza regions, Kenya 
    Muui, C. W.; Muasya, Reuben M.; Nguluu, Simon N.; Kambura, A. (Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2020-05)
    Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is an important cereal crop in Kenya. Despite the crops importance, the yields attained by farmers in Eastern, Coastal and Nyanza regions of Kenya remain low. Access to good quality seeds of ...
  • Genetic diversity in Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) cultivars: implications for breeding and conservation 
    Wachira, Francis N.; Wanjala, Bramwel W.; Obonyo, Meshack; Muchugi, Alice; Mulaa, Margaret; Harvey, Jagger; Skilton, Robert A.; Proud, Janice; Hanson, Jean (Oxford University Press, 2013-03-27)
    Napier grass is an important forage crop for dairy production in the tropics; as such, its existing genetic diversity needs to be assessed for conservation. The current study assessed the genetic variation of Napier grass ...
  • Identification and evaluation of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) germplasm from Eastern Kenya 
    Muui, Catherine W.; Muasya, Reuben M.; Kirubi, Duncan T. (Academic Journals, 2013-09)
    Eastern Province is a major sorghum growing zone in Kenya. There exist different composites, landraces, open pollinated and wild relatives of sorghum that are not yet known. The landraces continue to be maintained by ...
  • Molecular markers - New tools for an old science - The case of tea 
    Wachira, Francis N. (2017-03-06)
    Recent advances in molecular biology, principally in the development of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (peR) for amplifying DNA have resulted in powerful techniques, which have variously been used to aid tea (Camellia ...
  • Morphological characterization of Kenyan papaya germplasm (Carica papaya L.) 
    Asudi, G. O.; Ombwara, F. K.; Rimberia, F. K.; Nyende, A. B.; Ateka, E. M.; Wamocho, L. S.; Shitanda, Douglas; Onyango, A. (International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS), 2009)
    Many papaya cultivars found in Kenya have not been characterized and documented. Therefore, there is difficulty in differentiating the Carica papaya cultivars in the different regions of Kenya. Characterization of papaya ...
  • Morphological diversity of Kenyan papaya germplasm 
    Asudi, G. O.; Ombwara, F. K.; Rimberia, F. K.; Nyende, A. B.; Ateka, E. M.; Wamocho, L. S.; Shitanda, Douglas; Onyango, A. (Academic Journals, 2010-12)
    Papaya is one of the major fruit crops of the tropical regions of the world. It shows considerable phenotypic variation in morphological and horticultural traits that can be utilized in its genetic improvement. In Kenya, ...
