An analysis of inbreeding levels and factors affecting growth and reproductive traits in the Kenya Alpine dairy goat
(2011)
The level of inbreeding of the Kenya Alpine dairy goat was investigated by use of Brian Kinghorn’s Pedigree viewer© software. From 1,067 doe records, data on parentage was extracted and this resulted to 3,516 individual ...
Reaction of selected common bean genotypes to physiological races
(2011)
The wide pathogenic variability occurring in Phaeoisariopsis griseola, the causal agent of angular leaf spot of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), dictates that new sources of resistance be continuously identified. This ...
