Production, purification and separation of phytotoxins from Exserohilum turcicum isolates of Kenyan, German and Austrian origin
(Bots, 2011)
The study was carried out to compare production, purification and identity of phytotoxins from Exserohilum turcicum isolates of Kenyan, German and Austrian origin. Phytotoxins were extracted from maize leaves inoculated ...
Evaluation of Genetic Variability of Kenyan, Gennan and Austrian Isolates of Exserohilum turcicum using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism DNA Marker
(2010)
Eighty nine Exserohilum turcicum isolates comprising 56 Kenyan, 26 German and 7 Austrian isolates were isolated from diseased maize plants and cultured on complete liquid medium to generate mycelium for DNA extraction. DNA ...
Collaborative Efforts Towards Understanding The Biological Structures And Functions Of Selected Soil Groups In Rural Ghana, Malawi And Kenya.
(University of Nairobi, 2012)
Degrading health of sub-Saharan African soils is a major impediment to the Millennium
Development Goal and the strategy of poverty reduction for Africa through the Comprehensive
Africa Agricultural Development Program. ...
Potential of biological control agents, organic amendments and crop rotation on root-knot nematodes
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Integrated approaches are fast gaining popularity
in the management of root knot nematodes
(
Meloidogyne
spp.). This study was undertaken
to assess the potential of integrating a biological
control agent (
Pochonia ...
Types of biological and nutritional degradations in ferralsol, lithosol and nitosol groups in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi.
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Monitoring of Aphid Fauna in Passionfruit Orchards in Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2013)
Passionfruit woodiness disease viral pathogens limit passionfruit
production and are non-persistently transmitted by aphid vectors. The
study was conducted to identify aphid species and assess the population
dynamics ...
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 ...
Integrated management of root-knot nematodes in a tomato-maize crop system using the biocontrol fungus Pochonia clamydosporia
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
Integrated approaches are fast gaining popularity in the management of root-knot nematodes (RKN). This study was undertaken to assess the potential of integrating a biological control agent (BCA, Pochonia chlamydosporia ...
Use of Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic (REP), Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC) and BOX sequences to fingerprint Exserohilum turcicum isolates
(2010-04)
Objective: To examine the distribution of dispersed repetitive DNA (Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic
Consensus (ERIC), BOX, and Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic (REP) sequences in the genome of
Exserohilum turcicum ...
Race Typing and Evaluation of Aggressiveness of Exserohilum turcicum Isolates of Kenyan, German and Austrian Origin
(2010)
Exserohilum turcicum the causal agent of northern corn leaf blight is a threat to corn production in
many areas of the world. The pathogen has a high genetic variability in terms of virulence, genetic structure
and several ...
