Surface specialization of the capillary endothelium in the pecten oculi of the chicken, and their overt roles in pectineal haemodynamics and nutrient transfer to the inner neural retina
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Anatomy and physiology, 1997)The structure of the capillary endothelium in the pecten oculi of the domestic fowl was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy results demonstrated the existence of a ... -
Recent Advances into Understanding Some Aspects of the Structure and Function of Mammalian and Avian Lungs
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Anatomy and physiology, 2010-09)Recent findings are reported about certain aspects of the structure and function of the mammalian and avian lungs that include (a) the architecture of the air capillaries (ACs) and the blood capillaries (BCs); (b) the ... -
The effects of phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizer level on nodulation, growth and dinitrogen fixation of three bean cultivars
(Department of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, University of Nairobi, 1986)Application of P (150 kg P/ha) increased nodulation, dry matter yield, P uptake, tissue N yield, dinitrogen fixation and seed yield of the three bean cultivars (Rose Coco, Canadian Wonder and Mwezi moja) at both N levels ... -
Regulation of parasitism by host density: The Bdellovibrio-Rhizobium interrelationship
(Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, University of Nairobi, 1975-05)Rhizobium strains of the cowpea group did not lose viability readily when added to soil, but Bdellovibrio acting on these rhizobia were found in 32 of 90 soils examined. Bdellovibrio did not initiate replication in liquid ... -
Control of Carnation Fusarium Wilt Using Antibiotics Culture Filtrate from Streptomyces Spp.
(1994)Streptomyces check for this species in other resources spp. isolated from soils collected from Kabete, Department of Crop Science, University of Nairobi isolates were screened for antibiosis against Fusarium oxysporum check ... -
Potential of sequential cropping in the management of root-knot nematodes in okra
(2008)The response of different crops to a mixed population of root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne javanica and M. incognita and their potential as suppressants in sequential cropping systems was evaluated in greenhouse and field ... -

A scanning electron microscope study of the luminal surface specializations in the blood vessels of the pecten oculi in a diurnal bird, the black kite
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Vetinary Anatomy and physiology, 1998)The luminal surface of the pecten oculi of the black kite (Milvus migrans), a diurnally active bird of prey, was examined by scanning electron microscopy. In this species the blood vessels are generally of two types, the ... -
Characterisation offusarium graminearum andF. culmorum isolates by mycotoxin production and aggressiveness to wheat
(2000)A total of 27Fusarium culmorum isolates from Germany and 41F. graminearum isolates from Kenya were investigated for aggressiveness and mycotoxin production on wheat ears. In addition, ergosterol content of the kernels from ... -

Variation among Fusarium species and isolates infecting wheat ears based on aggressiveness, mycotoxin production and RAPD-PCR analysis
(Department of Crop Protection, University of Nairobi, KENYAInstitut für Pflanzenkrankheiten, Universität Bonn, ALLEMAGNE, 2002)Fusarium species from Germany and Kenya were investigated for the variation in mycotoxin production, aggressiveness on wheat ears and PCR-based DNA fingerprints in order to characterize the Fusarium species and isolates ... -
A scanning electron microscope study of the pecten oculi of the black kite (Milvus migrans): possible involvement of melanosomes in protecting the pecten against damage by ultraviolet light
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Medicine, 1994-12)The pecten oculi of the black kite (Milvus migrans), a diurnally active bird of prey, has been examined by scanning electron microscopy. In this species the pecten consists of 12 highly vascularised pleats, held together ... -
Phosphate sorption by some kenyan soils as evaluated by the langmuir and freundlich adsorption equations
(Department of Land Resource Management and Agricultural Technology, 2000)The sorption of added inorganic phosphate (P) by eight soils which varied appreciably in their ability to sorb P was evaluated using the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption equations. When the sorption data were plotted ... -
