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, ...
Characterization of The Nutritional Properties of Sorghum Composite Flours Using Different Food to Food Fortification Approaches
(European Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences, 2020-11)
Intervention using blended composite flours can
reduce malnutrition in sub Saharan Africa. Prevalence of
protein-energy malnutrition among the vulnerable children has
necessitated research on cost effective food ...
Food Security Status During The Covid-19 Pandemic Among Vulnerable Groups In Keiyo South, Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenya
(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications,, 2021)
Health guidelines to manage the COVID-19 pandemic
could have led to unintended changes in states and processes that
affect food systems, food security, and nutrition. The study
conducted in Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenya ...
Utilization of Post-Harvest Technologies for Improved Food Security: Case of Maize and Mangoes among Smallholder Farmers in Kerio Valley Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenya
(Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2021-07-09)
Limited availability of improved post-harvest technologies or inappropriate use of available
technologies leads to spoilage of food resulting to post-harvest losses. The losses contribute to
food insecurity in the sense ...
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) ...
Adoption of Drought Tolerant Sorghum in Western Kenya
(Moi University Press, 2012)
Food and nutritional insecurity are responsible for poverty and low
livelihoods of about 33% of people living in western part of Kenya.
This is against MDG1. The production of sorghum which is a staple
food crop is below ...
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 ...
Aluminum tolerance mechanisms in Kenyan maize germplasm are independent from the citrate transporter ZmMATE1
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
