Assessment of genetic diversity of Kenyan dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L. Sweet) using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers

Kamotho, Grace N.; Kinyua, Miriam G.; Muasya, Reuben M.; Gichuki, Simon T.; Wanjala, Bramwel W.; Kimani, Esther N.; Kamau, Eliezah N. (2016)

The level of genetic relatedness or dissimilarity of Lablab genotypes used by growers in different regions in Kenya has not been determined. In this study, ninety six (96) Lablab accessions collected from various parts ...
Genetic variation of biochemical characteristics of selected sorghum varieties from East Africa

Kiprotich, Felix; Cheruiyot, Erick; Mwendia, Charles M.; Wachira, Francis N.; Kimani, Paul (Academic Journals, 2015-05)

A total of 30 sorghum varieties from East Africa were analysed for their biochemical characteristics. The objective was to ascertain the extent of the genetic diversity underlying their biochemical and physiological ...
Heterotic analysis using AFLP markers reveals moderate correlations between specific combining ability and genetic distance in maize inbred lines

Kimatu, Josphert N.; Qi, Xin; Li, Zhihua; Jiang, Lili; Cui, Yue; Liu, Bao (Academic Journals, 2010)

Heterotic breeding strategies in maize (Zea mays L.) can be improved if high specific combining abilities in hybrid performance and a DNA marker-based genetic distance in the inbred lines is correlated, and hence heterosis ...
