Diagnosis of Postgraduate Training Needs in Agriculture and Food via Open and Distance Learning (PG-ODL) in Eastern and Southern Africa

Muluvi, Geoffrey M.; Akundabweni, Levi Shadeya-M; Ndege, Speranza (2004-08)

Agriculture, including livestock, forestry and fisheries continue to be the foundation for development, hunger eradication, and poverty reduction for many countries in the developing world. Therefore, strengthening the ...
Seasonal fluctuations of resource abundance and avian feeding guilds across forest–farmland boundaries in tropical Africa

Mulwa, Ronald K.; Neuschulz, Eike L.; Böhning-Gaese, Katrin; Schleuning, Matthias (Wiley, 2013-04)

Seasonal fluctuations in climatic factors are expected to increase in future decades. However, little is known about the response of tropical species communities to seasonal fluctuations in climate and resource availability, ...
ZnO:Sn deposition by reactive evaporation: Effects of Sn doping on the electrical and optical properties

Munguti, Lawrence K.; Njoroge, W. K.; Musembi, R. J. (2014-08)

Tin doped zinc oxide thin films were deposited by reactive evaporation under various tin doping levels ranging from 1% to 8%. The deposition was done using Edwards Auto 306 coating unit at room temperature (25°C) and 5.0 ...
A vifauna l S urveys of Hilltop forests in the semi - arid areas of Kitui and Mwingi Districts, Eastern Kenya

Mulwa, Ronald K. (2015-04-16)

We conducte d an extensive avifaunal survey in the poorly known dryland hilltop forests of Kitui and Mwingi Districts to provide an inventory of the birds species. The survey covered f ive dryland hilltop masses ...
Determinants of Sexual and Reproductive Health among street adolescents in dagorretti district in Nairobi

Ng'ang'a, Zipporah W.; Kamanu, Rosemary; Muttunga, James (2015-04-22)

Background: Adolescents make up 80% of the world population and despite being the hardest hit by sexual and reproductive health challenges their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs are largely ...
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 ...
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) ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
