Plant growth, water relations and transpiration of two species of African nightshade (Solanum villosum Mill. ssp. miniatum (Bernh. ex Willd.) Edmonds and S. sarrachoides Sendtn.) under water-limited conditions
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-09-11)
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 ...
Aluminium tolerance mechanisms in phaseolus vulgaris l.: citrate synthase activity and TTC reduction are well correlated with citrate secretion
(Taylor&Francis, 2012-01-04)
We characterised the physiological mechanisms of tolerance in two beanvarieties (Phaseolus vulgaris L. viz. French Bean cv. Amy and Rosecoco(GLP2» differing in Al tolerance of the varietal level. Root elongation atvarying ...
Up scaling ecotourism in Kisumu City and its environs: local community perspective
(International Journal of Business and Social Research, 2012-12)
Kenya’s quest to be among the top ten long-haul tourist destinations globally require strategic focus as envisaged in Kenya’s Vision 2030. Ecotourism is emerging as an alternative development path that can enhance environmental ...
The use of catechins as biochemical markers in diversity studies of tea (Camellia sinensis)
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004-04)
The concentrations of catechins in a Kenyan tea germplasm collection of 102 accessions were determined by HPLC. Total green leaf catechin concentrations and the ratio of dihydroxylated to trihydroxylated catechins were ...
The rate of outcrossing in grain Amaranths
(John Wiley, 2006-04-28)
Studies of intra specific and inter specific out crossing rates were carried out for grain amaranths using two populations of A. hypochondriacus (populations 1008 and 1024) and two populations of A. cruentus (populations ...
Biochemical differentiation in Camellia sinensis and its wild relatives as revealed by isozyme and catechin patterns
(Pergamon, 2002-12-10)
The variation in three NADP-linked dehydrogenase enzymes; glucose-6-phosphate dehydro- genase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and shikimate dehydrogenase as well as alpha and beta esterases was determined in 24 cultivars ...
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 ...
Spatial planning interventions and their implications on conservation of urban green spaces
(AJASE, 2014-09-26)
Urban green spaces are quite important in enhancing the urban environment and the aesthetic quality of city life. This research attempts to give proposals for improving the quality of urban green spaces in Kisumu city. The ...
Polyploidy Breeding of African Nightshade ( Solanum section Solanum )
(Global Science Books, 2007)
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 ...
