Reaction of Some Kenyan Maize Genotypes to Turcicum Leaf Blight Under Greenhouse and Field Conditions
(2007)
Fifty seven maize lines comprising 23 open pollinated, 30 hybrids and 4 inbreed lines were evaluated for resistance to Turcicum leaf blight both under greenhouse and field conditions. For greenhouse evaluation, the genotypes ...
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 ...
Infectious structures and response of maize plants to invasion by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass). in compatible and incompatible host pathogen systems.
(2008)
Objective: To study the differential response of corn leaves to invasion by Exserohilum turcicum comparing compatible and incompatible host-pathogen systems. Methodology and results: Maize leaves excised from 14 day-old ...
Distribution of Turcicum leaf blight of maize in Kenya and cultural variability of its causal agent, Exserohilum turcicum
(2008)
The causal agent of Turcicum leaf blight Exserohilum turcicum was isolated from infected maize samples collected during a survey in seven districts representing the main maize growing areas of Kenya. The cultural variability ...

Suitability of Locally Available Substrates for Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Cultivation in Kenya
(2009)
This study aimed at evaluating the suitability of selected substrates for mushroom production. Ten different substrates namely water hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes ), maize cobs ( Zea mays ), coconut fibre ( Cocos nucifera ...
