Breeding Grain Sorghum for Tolerance to Aluminium Toxicity
Gudu, Samuel (Africa Environmental Review Journal, 2020)Aluminium (Al) toxicity is a common problem in acid soils where sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is grown. It contributes to grain yield reduction of between 30-40 % in sorghum and other cereals. Al interferes with ... -
Mapping Qtls for Grain Yield and Yield Components in Kenyan Maize (Zea mays L.) Under Low Phosphorus Using Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPS)
Gudu, Samuel; Ouma, Evans Ochieng (American Journal of Plant Sciences, 2021-07-28)Selection for tolerance to low phosphorus (P) using morphological traits alone is slow and often confounded by environmental effects. This study identified some Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) associated with grain yield ... -
Response of selected sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) genotypes to striga hermonthica (del.) benth in western Kenya
Gudu, Samuel; Ochiel, Dauglas Claoudious; Dida, Mathews M.; Ouma, Evans Ochieng; Olweny, P. Ayiecho (Journal of Plant Breeding and Crop Science, 2021-06-06)Sorghum is an important staple food crop in Kenya, but its yield is low due to many constraints which include diseases, drought, soil fertility, and pests, notably parasitic weed Striga hermonthica. Twenty elite sorghum ... -
Screening of Selected Sorghum Genotypes for Resistance to Covered Kernel Smut Disease in Western Kenya
Okongo, Caroline; Ouma, Evans; Gudu, Samuel (Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2021-06-15)Sorghum is an important food security crop for arid and semi-arid tropics but its production is hampered by many biotic and abiotic factors including covered kernel smut disease (CKSD) caused by fungus Sporosorium sorghi ...
