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 ...
Identification of Selected Actinomycete Isolates and Characterization of Their Antibiotic Metabolites
(2008)
Three antagonistic actinomycetes coded as 14P, 28P and CS35 were isolated from the soil and identified based on morphological, physiological and color formation on Czapeks Dox agar, inorganic salt starch agar and glycerol ...
The occurrence of Fusarium species and mycotoxins in Kenyan wheat
(2008)
presence of head blight-causing Fusarium species. Fungal contaminationwas determined by isolation on
agar media, while mycotoxin analysis was by direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA). The wheat ...
Diversity of Fungal Species Associated with Peanuts in Storage and the Levels of Aflatoxins in Infected Samples
(2004)
The threat of aflatoxin contamination in food commodities and its association with health risks in both animals and humans
continues to raise increasing concern over years. In this report, fungal species found in association ...
Characterization of antibiotic meta bolites from actinomycete isolates
(2007)
: Metabolites from three actinomycetes isolates coded CS35, 28P and 14P antagonistic to
Pythium
spp were
produced in shaken liquid media and centrifugation done to obtain cell free culture filtrates. The antibiotic ...
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 ...
