Response of tomato genotypes to induced salt stress
(African Crop Science Society, 2003-12-31)
Thirteen tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) genotypes were subjected to salt treatment under hydroponics and their responses monitored in a set of two experiments with the objective of advancing them as potential salt ...
Polyploidy Breeding of African Nightshade ( Solanum section Solanum )

The perception of African nightshades (
Solanum
section
Solanum
) as “healthy” foods, supported by documentation of their high nutri-
tional and medicinal benefits, has led to a sudden and ...
Host-plant acceptance, fecundity and longevity of tetranychus evansi (acari: tetranychidae) on selected tomato accessions
(Global Science Books, 2009-01-21)
Solanum villosum is an important leafy vegetable in Kenya whose production faces low yields. Two potentially high leaf-yielding
genotypes of S. villosum, T-5 and an octoploid have been developed. Field experiments were ...
Combining evidence of natural selection with association analysis increases power to detect malaria-resistance variants
(The American Society of Human Genetics, 2007-08)
Statistical power to detect disease variants can be increased by weighting candidates by their evidence of natural selection. To demonstrate that this theoretical idea works in practice, we performed an association study ...
The effect of education on business skills cognition among informal sector entrepreneurs
(journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2003)
This study examined the effect of education, in comparison to training the experiential factors on
Business Skills Cognition. Business Skills Cognition was a quantitative dependent variable

Host-plant acceptance, fecundity and longevity of tetranychus evansi (acari: tetranychidae) on selected tomato accessions
(Afr. J. Hort. Sci., 2009)
Seven tomato (Lycopersicon sp.) accessions were evaluated for their resistance to the tomato red spider mite, Tetranychus evansi Baker and Pritchard, in the laboratory. Data recorded was: (i) trichome density and (ii) ...
Effects of day-length and temperature on floral structure and fertility restoration in a season-dependent male-sterile Solanum villosum Mill. mutant
(Springer Verlag, 2007)
Solanum villosum is an important African leafy vegetable whose yield is limited mainly by competition from early and excess fruit-set. Induced male-sterility is a potential tool to reduce this competition and enhance yields. ...

“Summer flowers”, the general name given to annual species and bulbous
perennials traditionally grown during summer in northern Europe, they include
Ornithogalum saundersie (commercially known as “Arabicum”), Alstromeria ...
Non-genetic causes of the heterogeneity of variance in milk yield among Holstein-Friesian Herds in Kenya.
(AJOL, 2005)
Lactation records of Holstein- Friesian cows in Kenya made during the period 1968 to 1984 were analyzed for the cases of heterogeneity of variance in milk yield among herds using a fixed effect least squares model. Year, ...
