Aluminum tolerance mechanisms in Kenyan maize germplasm are independent from the citrate transporter ZmMATE1
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
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 ...
Immediate and residual effects of lime and phosphorus fertilizer on soil acidity and maize production in western Kenya
(2015-08-21)
Soil acidity and phosphorus (P) deficiency are some of the major causes of low maize yields in Kenya.
This study determined the immediate and residual effects of lime and P fertilizer on soil pH, exchangeable
aluminium ...
Effect of ridging and intercropping on sorghum productivity in arid and semi arid lands of eastern Kenya
(African crop science society, 2022-02-28)
Soil moisture deficit is a key constraint to sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) productivity in arid and semi arid lands globally. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of ridging and sorghum bean intercropping ...
Phylogenetic relationship among Kenyan sorghum germplasms based on aluminium tolerance
(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
(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 ...
