Genetic and non-genetic factors influencing KLH binding natural antibodies and specific antibody response to Newcastle disease in Kenyan chicken populations
(Wiley Online Library, 2023)This study aimed at investigating the influence of genetic and non-genetic factors on immune traits to inform on possibilities of genetic improvement of disease resistance traits in local chicken of Kenya. Immune traits ... -
Genetic and non-genetic sources of variation in natural antibodies titre values among indigenous chicken
(American Journal of Research Communication, 2017)Innate immunity plays significant role in combating disease. Improvement of any trait including resistance to disease and infection requires identification of genetic and nongenetic sources of variation. This study aimed ... -
Genetic and nutrition development of indigenous chicken in Africa
(2015)This review gives insights into genetic and feeding regime development for indigenous chicken genetic resources. We highlight and combine confirming evidence of genetic diversity and variability using morphological and ... -
Genetic and phenotypic parameters for feed efficiency in indigenous chicken in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01)This study aims to determine the genetic and phenotypic parameters of net feed efficiency (NFE) traits namely Residual feed intake (RFI), residual gain (RG), and residual intake and gain (RIG) along the growth curve of ... -

Genetic association of agronomic traits with partial resistance to gray leaf spot in elite maize germplasm.
(John Wiley & Sons, 2022)Studies on gray leaf spot (GLS) of maize have reported inconsistencies in the relationship between partial disease resistance and agronomic traits. Understanding this variation could facilitate the use of agronomic traits ... -
Genetic Basis of Heat Induced Sex Determination in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus L.), and Genetic Variability of the Species Local Populations
(Maseno University, 2011)Oreochromis niloticus commonly known as Nile tilapia is the most cultured tilapine cichlid in the sub-Saharan Africa. Most of the culture practices are of mixed sexes with the inherent problem of overpopulation leading ... -

Genetic differentiation in East African ethnicities and its relationship with endurance running success
(Public Library of Science, 2022)Since the 1960s, East African athletes, mainly from Kenya and Ethiopia, have dominated long-distance running events in both the male and female categories. Further demographic studies have shown that two ethnic groups are ... -
Genetic differentiation of Artemia franciscana (Kellogg, 1906) in Kenyan coastal saltworks
(Gent University, Belgium, 2013)The nature of genetic divergence between the Artemia population native to San Francisco Bay, (SFB) USA and those from the introductions of SFB material in the Kenyan coast (Fundisha and Kensalt) 2 decades ago were ... -
Genetic differentiation of Artemia franciscana (Kellogg, 1906) in Kenyan coastal saltworks
(Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute, Kegati Aquaculture Research Station, 2014)The nature of genetic divergence between the Artemia population native to San Francisco Bay, (SFB) USA and those from the introductions of SFB material in the Kenyan coast two decades ago were investigated using the ... -
Genetic diversity among isolates of Colletotrichum kahawae causing coffee berry disease
(Association Scientifique Internationale du Café (ASIC) 17th Colloque, Montpellier, France, 1997)En este trabajo, aislamientos de una conidia de/Colletotrichum kahawae/, se sometieron a un análisis genético usando pruebas de patogenicidad y marcadores de proteínas, isoenzimas y RAPD. Para comparar, se incluyeron las ... -
Genetic diversity analysis reveals genetic differentiation and strong population structure in Calotropis plants
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)The genus Calotropis (Asclepiadaceae) is comprised of two species, C. gigantea and C. procera, which both show significant economic potential for use of their seed fibers in the textile industry, and of their bioactive ... -
