Relationship between late blight [Phytophthora infestans] of potato on tuber and foliage, as affected by the disease severity on foliage, cultivar resistance, and atmospheric and soil variables
(2007)
Potato tuber blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is an important component of the late blight pathosystem. Although the dynamics of tuber blight on potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars have been evaluated, the effects ...
Compliance with international food safety standards in Kenya's green bean industry: Comparison of a small-and a large-scale farm producing for export
(2007)
European food safety standards have increased the fixed and transactions costs of Kenyan green bean farmers while requiring more stringent quality monitoring by exporting firms. This paired case study finds that large farms ...
Occurrence and Severity of Angular Leaf Spot of Common Bean in Kenya as Influenced by Geographical Location, Altitude and Agroecological Zones
(2007)
A survey to determine the prevalence, incidence and severity of angular leaf spot of common bean was conducted in Embu, Kakamega, Kiambu, Machakos and Taita Taveta districts of Kenya. The districts were selected based on ...
Nuclear ribosomal pseudogenes resolve a corroborated monophyly of the eucalypt genus Corymbia despite misleading hypotheses at functional ITS paralogs
(Science Direct, 2007)
Divergent paralogs can create both obstacles and opportunities for phylogenetic reconstruction. Phylogenetic relationships among eucalypt genera have been incongruent among datasets in previous studies, where morphological ...
