Effect of water deficit on the physiological and morphological characteristics of Mango (Mangifera indica) rootstock seedlings.
(Academic Journals, 2010)
Six month old Mango (Mangifera indica L.) rootstock seedlings were grown in 20 L plastic pots in a greenhouse at Maseno University, Kenya, to investigate the effect of water deficit on its morphological and physiological ...
Ecophysiological and genetic characteristics of three wetland plant species occurring in lake Victoria region in Kenya.
(Asian Research Publishing Network-ARPN, 2010)
This study was carried out to investigate the ecophysiological and genetic characteristics of some selected wetland plant species in Lake Victoria basin, Kenya. Seedlings of Cyperas esculentus L., Aframomum angustifolium ...
Growth and nutrient uptake among three wetland plant species occurring in Lake Victoria basin in Kenya.
(AGRICULTURE AND BIOLOGY JOURNAL OF NORTH AMERICA, 2010)
Nutrient enrichment is one of the most serious threats to wetland ecosystems. Information is
lacking, particularly concerning the response of wetland plants species in Kenya in regard to
nutrient enrichment of wetlands. ...
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 ...
Trypanosoma infection in carrier fish of Lake Victoria, Kenya.
(PW Kamundia, PG Mbuthia, RM Waruiru, LW Njagi, PN Nyaga, RH Mdegela, DK Byarugaba, RO Otieno, 2010)
The carrier status of the haemoparasite in fish was investigated in randomly selected Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Nile perch (Lates niloticus). Blood was drawn from the heart using needle and syringe from ...
Generalized relativistic dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)
Generalized relativistic field equations have been derived for dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame interpreted as a Finsler space where events are specified by both spacetime coordinates and corresponding velocities ...
A Direct Calculation of First-Order Wave Function of Helium
(IOP Publishing, 2010)
We develop a simple analytic calculation for the first order wave function of helium in a model in which nuclear charge screening is caused by repulsive coulomb interaction. The perturbation term, first-order correlation ...
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. ...
