    • Development of maize single cross hybrids for tolerance to low phosphorus 

      Gudu, Samuel; Kisinyo, Peter; Ouma, Evans Ochieng; Ligeyo, Dickson; Matonyei, Thomas; Were, Beatrice Ang’iyo; Agalo, Joyce; Too, Emily; Onkware, Augustino; Okalebo, John; Othieno, Caleb (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 ...

    • Enhancing Maize Grain Yield in Acid Soils of Western Kenya Using Aluminium Tolerant Germplasm 

      Ouma, Evans Ochieng; Ligeyo, Dickson; Matonyei, Thomas; Agalo, Joyce; Were, Beatrice Ang’iyo; Too, Emily; Onkware, Augustino; Gudu, Samuel; Kisinyo, Peter; Nyangweso, Philip (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) ...

    • Phylogenetic relationship among Kenyan sorghum germplasms based on aluminium tolerance 

      Emily Jepkosgei Too; Gudu, Samuel; Cheprot, Reuben K.; Matonyei, Thomas; Were, Beatrice Ang’iyo; Onkware, Augustino; Dangasuk O. George; Ouma, Evans; Liu, J; Kochian, L. V. (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 

      Matonyei, Thomas; Cheprot, Reuben K.; Maritim K. K.; Beatrice Ang’iyo Were; Dangasuk O. George; Onkware, Augustino; Gudu, Samuel (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 ...

    • Screening of maize single cross hybrids for tolerance to low phosphorus 

      Ouma, Evans Ochieng; Gudu, Samuel; Agalo, Joyce; Matonyei, Thomas; Ligeyo, Dickson (2011)
