Molecular markers associated with aluminium tolerance in Sorghum bicolor
(Hereditas, 2018)
Background: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, L. Moench) production in many agro-ecologies is constrained by a variety of stresses, including high levels of aluminium (Al) commonly found in acid soils. Therefore, for such soils, ...
Enhancing Maize Grain Yield in Acid Soils of Western Kenya Using Aluminium Tolerant Germplasm
(2015-07-21)
Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s most important cereals and is a staple food for many people in developing
countries. However, in acid soils (pH < 5.5), its productivity is limited by aluminium (Al) ...
Development of maize single cross hybrids for tolerance to low phosphorus
(2015-08-21)
Low available phosphorus (P) is one of the major hindrances to maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in acid
soils. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop P-efficient maize inbred lines, (2) develop single
cross ...
