Degradation capacity of a 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene mineralizing microbial community for traces of organochlorine pesticides
(Elsevier, 2010-07-15)
A soil-borne microbial community isolated from a contaminated site was previously shown to mineralize
1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB) under aerobic conditions. The key degrader in this community was
identified as ...
Pretreatment with natural flavones and neuronal cell survival after oxidative stress: a structure− activity relationship study
(Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2010)
Quercetin shows structural features that have been related to the antioxidant potency of flavonoids and also shows neuroprotection in different models of oxidative death. Because only a few studies have focused on the ...
Influence of region of production on relative clonal plain tea quality parameters in Kenya
(Elsevier, 2010-04-01)
Tea is grown in diverse regions with varying climates. Growers seek high-yielding and
superior quality cultivars to improve profitability of the enterprise. A superior quality genotype
in one location is assumed to ...
The influence of geographical area of production and nitrogenous fertiliser on yields and quality parameters of clonal tea
(2010-04-01)
Variations in requirements for tea production in Kenya and factors controlling
growth and production of secondary metabolites responsible for the quality parameters are
indicative of the need for non-uniform recommendations. ...
Development of a multiplex PCR technique for simultaneous detection of Sweet potato feathery mottle virus and Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus
(An International Journal of the Italian Phytopathological Society, 2010-07-01)
Virus diseases, especially those caused by mixed infections, are among the economically most devastating diseases of sweet potato. Sweet potato virus disease (SPVD), which is caused by mixed infection of Sweet potato ...
Changes in soil chemical properties and leaf nutrients content in tea due to nitrogen fertilizer rates and application intervals.
(Tea Research Foundation of Kenya, 2010)
Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze) plant, requires much more nitrogen than most of the other nutrients for its growth, development and sustainability of harvestable crop. Soil as a resource of plant nutrients, cannot ...
Effects of copper exchange levels on complexation of ammonia in Cu (II)-exchanged X zeolite
(Sabinet, 2010-01-01)
Copper (II)-exchanged faujasite-X zeolites at various loadings of copper per unit cell of zeolites were prepared and then exposed to ammonia. The copper ammine complexes of the various copper levels per unit cell were ...

SURVEY OF SWEET POTATO VIRUSES IN WESTERN KENYA AND DETECTION OF CUCUMBER MOSAIC VIRUS
(2010)
Sweet potato is an important food crop worldwide, but several pests and diseases limit its production. In eastern Africa, virus-induced diseases rank second to weevils in causing yield reduction. Symptomatic sweet potato ...
Response of Clonal Tea to Different Tea Growing Locations, Nitrogenous Fertiliser Rates and Plucking Intervals in the Kenya Highlands
(Maseno University, 2010)
Tea Camellia sinensis, is widely grown in the highlands of Kenya for manufacture of mainly black tea. The most costly inputs in tea cultivation are nitrogenous fertiliser and plucking which are key determinants of yield ...
