Fluorescent SSR Markers and Capillary Electrophoresis Reveal Significant Genetic Diversity in Naturalized Pumpkin Accessions in Kenya
Kiramana, J. K. 1; Isutsa, D. K. 1,2; Nyende, A. B. 3 (2017)This study was undertaken as a preliminary step in determining genetic diversity of naturalized pumpkins in Kenya. It entailed allelic patterns, frequency, inbreeding coefficient, molecular variance, cluster and ... -
Food and income provision influence production of pumpkins in Kakamega and Nyeri in Kenya
Kiramana, J. K. 1; Isutsa, D. K. 1,2 (2018)Pumpkin is an emerging important fruit-vegetable, although its potential remains unexploited in Kenya. This study aimed at enhancing conservation, preservation and production of naturalized pumpkins through characterisation ... -
Genetic diversity of pumpkin accessions in Kenya revealed using morphological characters, diversity index, CATPCA and factor analysis
Kiramana, J. K. 1; Isutsa, D. K. 1,2 (2018-02)Pumpkin is one of the most morphologically variable genera in the entire plant kingdom. In Kenya, its genetic diversity is undocumented and distribution is haphazard. An expedition was done in Kakamega and Nyeri regions ... -
Nutritive Value of Bakery Products From Wheat and Pumpkin Composite Flour
Kiharason, J. W. 1; Isutsa, D. K. 1,2; Ngonda, P. N. 2 (2017)The pumpkin fruit of the species C. moschata Duchesne has great nutritional potential, but remains under-utilized in Kenya. The fruits have diverse health enhancing properties. This vegetable-fruit has potential to be ... -
Participatory Germplasm Conservation and Seed Production of Naturalized Pumpkin Landraces in Kenya
Kirimi, J. K. 1; Isutsa, D. K. 1,2; Nyende, A. B. 3 (2016)Although seeds come first in the food chain, local and international companies find it unprofitable to invest in provision of African indigenous vegetable seeds to growers. The present study trained farmers in on-farm ...
