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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Sensory evaluation and consumer acceptability of Snack ValueAdded Rice Products in Eldoret Town, Kenya
(IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS), 2020-07-31)
Farmers in developing countries are greatly affected by post-harvest losses due to poor handling techniques,
over maturation, poor storage conditions, infestation by pests and fungal infections. This explains the high ...
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 ...
Nutritional Characteristics of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Composite Flours Obtained by Food Fortification
(European Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences, 2021)
High prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition among the vulnerable population, especially children has prompted research on fortification of common staple cereal foods such as rice. However, rice has inferior nutritional ...
