Assessment of temporal primary production in tropical inland swamp wetlands of Uasin Gishu county, Kenya
(2018-07-03)
Wetlands are highly productive ecosystems offering valuable ecosystem and socio-economic
services. Worldwide they are threatened by encroachment due to increasing human population. Limited
research has been done on the ...
Cell membrane integrity, callose accumulation, and root growth in aluminum-stressed sorghum seedlings
(2015-08-19)
Aluminum stress usually reduces plant root growth due to the accumulation of Al in specific zones of the root apex. The
objectives of this study were to determine the localization of Al in the root apex of Sorghum bicolor ...

Genetic Diversity in Cultivated Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) and Related Wild Species in East Africa
(2015-08-21)
Genetic diversity of traditional sesame landraces and related wild species in East Africa remains largely unexplored. Knowing
what fraction of the available genetic diversity is actually used by the farmers is of central ...
Combining ability of some sorghum lines for dry lands and sub-humid environments of East Africa
(2015-08-19)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a major food crop grown in dry lands and sub-humid areas of
East Africa. A study was conducted between 2010 to 2012 in dry lands (Miwaleni, Kiboko) and sub-
humid (Ukiriguru) ...
Diversity of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Germplasm from Tanzania
(2014)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an important cereal crop cultivated in varied agro-ecological zones of Tanzania ranging from the southern highlands to coastal lowlands. Different cultivars and varieties of sorghum ...
Phylogenetic relationship among Kenyan sorghum germplasms based on aluminium tolerance
(2015-08-21)
Eighty nine (89) sorghum lines sourced from various parts of Kenya were used to determine
phylogenetic relationships based on 10 DNA fragments at AltSB loci with SbMATE, ORF9 and MITE
primers. Nine lines of varying ...
Physiological characterization of kenyan sorghum lines for tolerance to aluminium
(2015-08-21)
Eighty nine Kenyan sorghum lines were screened for tolerance to aluminium toxicity in nutrient
solution. Relative net root growth; root tip aluminium content and variation in organic acid
exudation were used to determine ...
