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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Response of free-living nematodes to treatments targeting plant parasitic nematodes in carnation
(2008)
This study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the effect of ecologically sound approaches for nematode management on non-target organisms, free-living nematodes. The materials tested were sugarcane bagasse, molasses, ...

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 ...
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 ...
