Molecular characterization of 'Candidatus Liberibacter' species/strains causing huanglongbing disease of citrus in Kenya
(Avenida Brasil, 2007-11-20)
This study was undertaken to characterize the alpha subgroup of the proteobacteria causing the huanglongbing (HLB) disease of citrus from three different ecological zones of Kenya namely the Lower highlands (LH2, LH3, ...
Evaluation of relative competitive ability and fitness of sorghum bicolor×sorghum halepense and sorghum bicolor×Sorghum sudanense F1 hybrids
(2015)
Introgression of crop alleles in weedy sorghum populations may have an additive
effect on the adaptive character of the weeds making them more competitive. The
relative fitness in the F1 generation derived from weedy and ...
The population structure of wild sorghum species in agro-ecological zones of Western Kenya
(2015)
There is need to understand the genetic structure of wild sorghums that grow alongside cultivated traditional sorghum varieties in order to assess the potential effect of crop genes in wild populations. In this study, 175 ...
Real time PCR mediated determination of the spontaneous occurrence of sorghum bicolor alleles in wild sorghum populations
(Academic Journals (Kenya), 2015-02-18)
Evaluation of multiplex PCR in detection of crop alleles and differential hybridization among weedy sorghum populations.
(Asian network for scientific information, 2014)
Utility of the PCR methodology in detection of crop alleles in weedy species has the potential for improvement through techniques that improve efficiency and minimize the cost and time required. This study evaluated the ...
