A review of the Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) technique in genotyping and DNA fingerprinting studies
(2008)
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) is a marker based on polymerase chain reaction
amplification of restricted fragments ligated to synthetic adaptors and amplified using primers which carry
selective nucleotides ...
Evaluation of Antibiotic Metabolites from Actinomycete Isolates for the Control of Late Blight of Tomatoes under Greenhouse Conditions
(2008)
Antibiotic metabolites from two antagonistic actinomycete isolates coded 28P and CS35 were evaluated for the control of late blight of tomatoes in the greenhouse. Five concentrations namely; half strength, quarter strength, ...
Analysis of" -Kenyan isolates' of Fusarium "safani f. sp. phaseoli from common bean using colony characteristics, pathogenicity and microsatellite DNA
(2008)
Fusarium solani (Mart) f.sp. phaseoli (Burk) Synd. and Hans., is a plant pathogeniC fungus that causes root rot in garden bean (Phaseo/us vulgaris L.). To evaluate methods used in classifying strains of this pathogen, 52 ...
Range Use and Trophic Interactions by Agropastoral Herds in Southeastern Kenya
(Kamla-Raj, 2008)
Habitat utilization patterns and feeding interaction of free ranging agropastoral herds were investigated
in two cycles of four consecutive grazing periods, in a semiarid environment, southeastern Kenya. The bites count ...
Babesia gibsoni: Serodiagnosis of infection in dogs by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with recombinant BgTRAP
(2008)
The thrombospondin-related adhesive protein of Babesia gibsoni (BgTRAPJ is known as an immunodominant antigen and is, there¬fore, considered as a candidate for the developmentof a diagnostic reagent for canine babesiosis. ...
Range use and dynamics in the agropastoral system of southeastern Kenya
(2008)
Occurrence of equilibrium and non equilibrium system dynamics in semiarid environments present serious management challenges. In these areas, resource management strategies are increasingly based on equilibrium rather than ...
Low Cost Technologies for Enhancing N and P Availability and Maize (Zea mays L.) Performance on Acid Soils
(2008)
Soil degradation especially soil acidity and low fertility are the major constraints hampering maize
production in Molo district, Kenya. The challenge therefore is to develop sustainable soil management
strategies for ...
C3 contributes to the cross-protective immunity induced by Babesia gibsoni phosphoribo protein P0 against a lethalB. rodhaini infection
(2008)
We have studied the impact of complement component 3 (C3)
deficiency on the progression of lethal Babesia rodhaini
infection in immune mice. A B. gibsoni ribosomal phosphoriboprote in P0 (BgP0) previously reported to be ...
Identification of molecular markers linked to a gene conferring resistance to coffee berry disease (Colletotrichum kahawae) in Coffea arabica
(2008-12)
Coffee berry disease (CBD) caused by Colletotrichum kahawae is a major constraint to Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica) production in Africa. One source of resistance to the disease is a natural interspecific hybrid between ...
