Assessment of phenotypic diversity of macadamia (Macadamia spp) germplasm in Kenya using leaf and fruit morphology

Gitonga, Lucy; Kahangi, Esther (Academic Journals, 2017-05-30)

The ability to identify genetic variation is indispensable to effective management and use of genetic resources. Morphological traits are among the earliest markers used in germplasm characterization and management. Leaf ...
Comparison of RAPD, ISSR, and DAMD Markers for Genetic Diversity Assessment between Accessions of Jatropha curcas L. and Its Related Species

Murty, S. Gautam; Patel, F.; Punwar, B. S.; Patel, M.; Singh, A. S.; Fougat, R. S. (JKUAT, 2018-02-28)

Molecular characterization of 19 Jatropha accessions that included 15 accessions of J.curcas and 4 different species was carried out using 3 different markers systems. Highest polymorphism (96.67%) was recorded by RAPD ...
Estimation of genetic diversity of the Kenyan yam (Dioscorea spp.) using microsatellite markers

Muthamia, Z. K.; Morag, F. E.; Nyende, A. B.; Mamati, E. G.; Wanjala, B. W. (JKUAT, Journal of Agriculture Science and Technology, 2017-02-06)

Yam landraces in Kenya have not been fully characterized both at morphological and molecular level. Application of molecular markers can overcome this bottleneck. 187 accessions comprising of 166 yam landraces and 21 Yam ...
Exploiting the Genetic Diversity of Vegetable African Nightshades

Ojiewo, Chris O.; Mwai, Gedion N.; Abukutsa-Onyango, Mary O. (Global Science Books, 2016-11-15)

African nightshades (Solanum section Solanum) are an important source of daily nutrients and income for small-scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and are a delicacy for urban inhabitants. The section is one ...
The extent of clonality and genetic diversity in Sagittaria lichuanensis (Alismataceae), an endemic marsh herb in China

Zhao, S. Y.; Chen, J. M.; Wang Q. F.; Liu, F.; Guo, Y. H.; Gituru, W. R. (Botanical Studies, 2017-05-24)

Genetic variation and clonal diversity of seven natural populations of the rare, highly clonal marsh herb Sagittaria lichuanensis were investigated using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Of the sixty-five ...
Farmers’ Knowledge on Macadamia Genetic Diversity in Kenya as a Means for in situ Conservation

Gitonga, Lucy N.; Kahangi, Esther M.; Muigai, Anne W.T. ....Et al (20-02-15)

Macadamia, a member of the family Proteaceae, is widely grown in Kenya as an alternative cash crop to tea and coffee, but varieties adapted to different agro-ecological zones are still lacking. Macadamia breeders require ...
Genetic Diversity of Iranian Isolates of Barley Scald Pathogen (Rhynchosporium secalis) Making Use of Molecular Markers

Beigi, S.; Zamanizadeh, H.; Razavi, M.; Zare, R. (JKUAT, 2018-02-28)

Leaf blotch disease of barley, caused by Rhynchosporium secalis is a major disease of barley in Iran. Its worldwide occurrence and economic importance in barley production has motivated studies on the population genetic ...
Genetic Variability of Outcross and Selfed Fennel Based on Morphological and ISSR Markers

Salami, M.; Rahimmalek, M.; Ehtemam, M. H. (JKUAT, 2018-01-26)

Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity among 23 outcross and self pollinated populations of fennel collected from different geographical regions of Iran and some European ...
Preliminary Investigation on Some Agronomic and Morphological Variations of Within and Between Bambara Groundnut Landraces

Mohammed, M. S.; Shimelis, H. A.; Laing, M. D. (JKUAT, 2018-01-24)

Bambara groundnut [ Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.] is an indigenous legume crop in Africa. It has comparable value to other legumes fo r food and nutritional security in the continent. However, ...
Selecting Parental Lines among Cultivated and Wild S pecies of Okra for Hybridization Aiming at YVMV Disease Resis tance

Seth, T.; Chattopadhyay, A.; Chatterjee, S.; Dutta, S.; Singh, B. (JKUAT, 2018-02-07)

Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus (YVMV) disease of okra is the single major production constraint and causes yield loss to the tune of 50- 90% in India. Hence continuous search for new sources of resistance ...
