Combined effects of aluminium toxicity, drought and net blotch severity stand out to be a major bottleneck hindering the realization of potential yields by the newly released barley varieties in Kenya. However, the relationship among the three remains unstudied and undocumented. The study aimed at determining the pre-exposure effect of aluminium to...

Genotype-by-sequencing (GBS) was used to explore the genetic diversity and structure of Spinacia turkestanica, and the selective sweeps involved in domestication of cultivated spinach, S. oleracea, from S. turkestanica. A total 7,065 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated for 16 Spinacia oleracea and 76 S. turkestanica accessions placed t...

Barley is one of the oldest cultivated crops in world that has been cultivated across diverse ecological regions since centuries. This varied agro-climatic cultivation of barley makes it vulnerable to various biotic stresses like fungal, viral, bacterial diseases and insect pest infestations. In order to reduce yield losses due to biotic stresses,...

Lack of genetically stable and durable drought tolerant winter and spring barley genotypes is one of the main contributing to low and unpredictable yields in Kenya and other parts of the world despite annual release of new and high yielding varieties. Therefore, the study was set to identify genotypes exhibiting tolerance to drought through physiol...

Although the maritime Pacific Northwest (PNW) is the only region of the United States suitable climatically for spinach seed production, the acidic soils are highly conducive to spinach Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. spinaciae. A soil bioassay developed to quantify the risk of spinach Fusarium wilt in fields has been offered to s...

Barley is one of the cereals having higher mixed linkage beta glucans in its grains. Beta glucans are the major components of endosperm cell walls, and these are considered very important from barley usage point of view. For making malt, the grain beta glucan content should be low, on the other hand for food barley beta glucan content should be hig...

... Details of few of these characterize accessions are presented in Table 6.2. For genetic diversity studies, earlier SSR markers were widely used Göl et al. 2017) but now-a-days SNP markers are developed through Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS)-based approach (Shi et al. 2017;Gyawali et al. 2021) which is used to fulfill the aim as the cost of sequencing becomes very cheap. Recently, utilizing the already-available genomic resources of Sp75 genome of Spinach and whole-genome sequencing (30Â) of 21 accessions, novel SSR markers were developed which were further used for diversity analysis of multiple spinach accessions ). ...
... In addition, spinach is also a plant that is tolerant of unfavorable conditions [4]. The degree of soil acidity (pH) which is good for spinach growth is in the range of 5-7 [5]. ...
