  • Antimicrobial, synergistic and antioxidant activities of tea polyphenols 
    Koech, K. R.; Wachira, Francis N.; Ngure, R. M.; Wanyoko, J. K.; Bii, C. C.; Karori, S. M.; Kerio, L. C. (2017-08-22)
    Polyphenols are secondary metabolites produced by tea plant, wh ich play multiple essential roles in plant physiology and have potential health proper ties on human health, mainly as antioxidants, anti-allergic, ...
  • Evidence of late acting self incompatibility in tea 
    Wachira, Francis N.; Kamunya., Samson K. (2017-03-15)
    To develop sound breeding strategies, it is necessary to understand the reproductive biology and breeding systenls of a species. The consequences of inbreeding are particularly inlportant as they influence the choice of ...
  • Genetic mapping and identification of quantitative trait loci for yield and drought tolerance in tea 
    Wachira, Francis N.; Kamunya, S. M.; Kireger, E. K.; Sharma, R. S.; Korir, R.; Maritim, T.; Kiplang’at, J.; Sharma, V.; Chalo, R.; Ahuja, P. S. (2017-02-20)
    Accelerated breeding and selection of improved tea ( Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) cultivars requires sound knowledge and understanding of genetics associated with desirable attributes. Quantitative trait loci ( Q TL) ...
  • Levels of Anthocyanins in Kenyan purple tea 
    Wachira, Francis N.; Kerio, L. C.; Wanyoko, J. K. (Kenya Purple Tea, 2016-03-07)
    Characterization and quantification of anthocyanins in selected tea cultivars processed into black (aerated) and green (unaerated) tea products was carried out in this study. The anthocyanins were extracted from tea products ...
  • 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 ...
  • Transcriptome-based identification of drought responsive genes in the tea plan 
    Wachira, Francis N.; Maritim, T. K.; Kamunya, S. M.; Mireji, P.; Mwendia, C.; Muoki, R. C.; Wamalwa, M.; Stomeo, F.; Martina, K. P. (2017-02-20)
    Tea ( Camellia sinensis L. (O) Kuntze) is one of the most widely consumed beverages worldwide. Tea growing areas in Kenya often experience drought periods which cause accumulated soil water ...
