Molecular markers associated with aluminium tolerance in Sorghum bicolor
(Hereditas, 2018)
Background: Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor, L. Moench) production in many agro-ecologies is constrained by a variety of stresses, including high levels of aluminium (Al) commonly found in acid soils. Therefore, for such soils, ...
Diversity of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Germplasm from Tanzania
(2014)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an important cereal crop cultivated in varied agro-ecological zones of Tanzania ranging from the southern highlands to coastal lowlands. Different cultivars and varieties of sorghum ...
Enhancing Maize Grain Yield in Acid Soils of Western Kenya Using Aluminium Tolerant Germplasm
(2015-07-21)
Abstract: Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s most important cereals and is a staple food for many people in developing
countries. However, in acid soils (pH < 5.5), its productivity is limited by aluminium (Al) ...
Development of maize single cross hybrids for tolerance to low phosphorus
(2015-08-21)
Low available phosphorus (P) is one of the major hindrances to maize (Zea mays L.) productivity in acid
soils. The objectives of this study were to: (1) develop P-efficient maize inbred lines, (2) develop single
cross ...
Aluminum tolerance mechanisms in Kenyan maize germplasm are independent from the citrate transporter ZmMATE1
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
Phylogenetic relationship among Kenyan sorghum germplasms based on aluminium tolerance
(2015-08-21)
Eighty nine (89) sorghum lines sourced from various parts of Kenya were used to determine
phylogenetic relationships based on 10 DNA fragments at AltSB loci with SbMATE, ORF9 and MITE
primers. Nine lines of varying ...
