Evaluating Heritability and Relationships among Phosphorus Efficiency Traits in Maize under Low P Soils of Western Kenya
(Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2021-03-15)
Low available phosphorus (P) remains a major limitation to maize (Zea mays L.) productivity across
the world. Selection for P efficiency is key as part of strategies to achieving agricultural
sustainability. The objectives ...
Mapping Qtls for Grain Yield and Yield Components in Kenyan Maize (Zea mays L.) Under Low Phosphorus Using Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPS)
(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
(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 ...
