Genetic Diversity and Relationships of Indigenous Kenyan Camel (Camelus dromedarius) Populations: implications for their Classification
(2003)
The genetic diversity and relationships amongst the dromedary (Camelus dromedarius) populations are poorly documented. Four recognized Kenyan dromedary breeds (Somali, Turkana, Rendille, Gabbra) and dromedary from Pakistan ...
Genetic diversity, inter-gene pool introgression and nutritional quality of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) from Central Africa
(2010)
The Great Lakes region of Central Africa is a
major producer of common beans in Africa. The region is known for high population density and small average farm size. The common bean represents the most important
legume ...
The genetic diversity of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae in cultivated soils of the eastern Canadian prairie
(2006-01)
Soil populations of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae (Rlv) that are infective and symbiotically effective on pea (Pisum sativum L.) have recently been shown to be quite widespread in agricultural soils of the eastern ...
Prevalence and genetic heterogeneity of porcine group C rotaviruses in nursing and weaned piglets in Ohio, USA and identification of a potential new VP4 genotype
(2013)
Swine fecal samples collected from seven farms were screened for group C rotaviruses (RVCs) using a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay. A total of 380 samples were tested and 19.5% were positive. Of the ...
Genetic diversity and phylogeography of cassava mosaic viruses in Kenya
(2006)
Cassava is a major factor in food security across sub-Saharan Africa. However, the crop is
susceptible to losses due to biotic stresses, in particular to viruses of the genus Begomovirus
(family Geminiviridae) that cause ...
Genetic diversity of Kenyan sorghum germ-plasm: Molecular diversity of Kenyan sorghum Germplasm using simple sequence repeats
(LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2012-01)
Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench is the fifth most important cereal crop globally and in Africa, it is the second most important after Maize. In Kenya , Sorghum is an important food security crop mainly cultivated in semi-arid ...
The use of non-invasive molecular techniques to confirm the presence of mountain bongo Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci populations in Kenya and preliminary inference of their mitochondrial genetic variation
(Springer Netherlands, 2011)
The mountain bongo antelope Tragelaphus eurycerus isaaci has rapidly declined in recent decades, due to a combination of hunting, habitat degradation and disease. Endemic to Kenya, mountain bongo populations have shrunk ...
