Comparative analysis of phenotypic characterization of Kenya and Pacific Islands tarogen germplasm collections Colocasia esculenta L. (Schott)
Palapala, Valerie; Netondo, G; Akwee, Edome Peter (2015-08-21)Fifty accessions of taro germplasm collections Colocasia esculenta L. Received: 15 November, 2014 (Schott) were collected from Kenya and Pacific Islands tarogen germplasm collections. Twenty five accessions of Kenyan ... -
A Comparative Assessment Of Taro{Colocasia Esculenta L. (Schott)} Phenotypic Corms/Cormels Characteristics Among Kenya And Tarogen Core Taro Collections For Taro Crop Improvement And Breeding
Akwee, Edome Peter; Palapala, Valerie A (International Journal of Innovative Research and Advanced Studies (IJIRAS), 2017)Determination of qualitative phenotypic taro cormels characters were scored based on the key International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) descriptors for taro (IPGRI, 1999). Twenty five taro germplasm each from ... -
Evaluation of Polymorphism Generated By Single Sequence Repeat Markers in Selected Taro Populations
Palapala, Valerie; Akwee, Edome Peter (Journal of Medical and Biological Science Research, 2016-08-03)Genetic structure of Kenya and Secretariat of Pacific Community’s Tarogen taro germplasm was investigated. Fifty cultivars were evaluated using six SSR primer combinations. Significant polymorphic variations within the ... -
Genetic diversity analysis of Kenyan taro [Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott] accessions using SSR markers
Palapala, Valerie; Akwee, Edome Peter (Sky Journal of Agricultural Research, 2016-07-08)Six SSR primer pairs were used to characterize 25 taro genotypes of Kenya. A total of 30 polymorphic alleles were generated. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 1 to 6 alleles, with an average of 3.0425 alleles ... -
Genetic Structure and Geographical Relationship of Selected Colocasia esculenta [L. Schott] Germplasm Using SSRs
Palapala, Valerie; Akwee, Edome Peter (Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology, 2016-11-17)Aims: SSR markers were used to infer population genetic structure variability in taro cultivars with the objective of characterizing the allelic diversity of each geographical population. Place and Duration of Study: ...
