Addressing challenges in communicating adaptation practices to smallholder farmers in Kenya through a radio intervention
(2017)
Farmers in Africa are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change due to their high dependency on climate-sensitive natural resources. Kenyan farmers are faced with limited public agricultural ...
Low cost tissue culture technology in the regeneration of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L) Lam)
(Res J Biol, 2012)
Sweet potato production in Eastern Africa has been declining due to lack of healthy planting materials. Developing
countries have not maximised in vitro sweet potato regeneration due to the high costs incurred. The objective ...

Response of Two Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) Varieties Regenerated on Low Cost Tissue Culture Medium
(David Publishing Company, Inc., 2012)
Plant tissue culture continues to be of great interest within the realms of molecular biology, plant breeding and plant health.
However, different plant cultivars have different culture efficiencies to tissue culture. In ...
In vitro micropropagation of cassava through low cost tissue culture
(Maxwell Science Publishing, 2012)
Adoption of drought-tolerant crops such as cassava can help alleviate food insecurity in sub-Saharan
Africa. However, production is constrained by lack of disease-free planting materials. This can be circumvented
through ...
