Genetic diversity of Kenyan potato germplasm revealed by simple sequence repeat markers
(Springer-Verlag, 2011-09-09)
International potato germplasm (Solanum tuberosum L.) has been long introduced to and bred in Kenya and the accumulated Kenyan Solanum germplasm is unique in its geographical and climatic ranges of adaptation to tropical ...
Improving potato tuber yields using genotypes with multiple virus resistance in Kenya
(2013)
Potato (Solanumtuberosum L.) viruses play a major role in lowering yields and quality of ware
and seed tubers in Kenya. This experiment was conducted to determine potential of potato clones
with multiple virus resistance ...
Identification of suitable parents and temperatures for breeding Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato virus X (PVX) resistant potatoes
(2011)
Mixed infection of Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato virus X (PVX) together with other potato
viruses have the potential of causing yield losses of up to 80 % in the major varieties grown in
Kenya. In search for suitable ...
