Inter-lake movements of the Lesser Flamingo Phoeniconaias minor and their conservation in the saline lakes of Kenya
(Department of Animal Production, University of Nairobi, 2000)The Lesser Flamingo Phoeniconaias minor is the only algivore in the saline lakes of Kenya occurring in spectacular assemblages that form the tourism base. The flamingos show unpredictable, spontaneous, “nomadic” movements ... -
Interaction between bean stem maggot, bean root rot and soil fertility
(Department of plant science and crop protection, 1998)This article is about the bean stem maggot, bean root rot and low soil fertility which have been identified as mojor constraints to bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) production in Western Kenya. The severity of bean rot and bean ... -
Interaction between phosphate starvation signalling and hexokinase‐independent sugar sensing in Arabidopsis leaves
(2005)Expression of selected genes in relation to phosphate (Pi) starvation and sugar sensing was studied in leaves of Arabidopsis. Excised leaf segments with different P status were supplied with combinations of Pi and sugars. ... -
