Understanding growth and development of three short-season grain legumes for improved adaptation in semi-arid Eastern Kenya
Short-season grain legumes play an important role in smallholder farming systems as source of food and
to improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. However, it is not clearly understood how these diverse ...
Genetic and nutritional profiling of finger millet germplasm collection in ESA
Total 400 diverse fingermillet lines were planted for DNA extraction in poly house for DNA extraction at ICRAF-Nairobi. These lines have been characterized at the ICRISAT field research station at Kiboko, Kenya for nutritional ...

RNA-seq based transcriptome profiling, identification and validation of heat stress responsive genes in chickpea
Six contrasting heat responsive (tolerant - ICCV 92944, ICC 1356, ICC 15614 and sensitive - ICC 5912, ICC 4567, ICC 10685) genotypes were selected for the study. Heat stress was imposed using growth chamber facility, ...
Identification and characterization of winter wheat germplasm resistant to stem rust in Kenya and Turkey
A diverse set of winter wheat germplasm was screened for resistance to stem rust in large-scale trials in Kenya and Turkey during 2009-16. The study aimed to select resistant material and characterize types of resistance ...
Exploring Niches for Short-Season Grain Legumes in Semi-Arid Eastern Kenya: Coping with the Impacts of Climate Variability
Climate variability is the major risk to agricultural production in semi-arid agroecosystems
and the key challenge to sustain farm livelihoods for the 500 million people who
inhabit these areas worldwide. Short-season grain ...
