Gene Action and Combining Ability for Yield and Panicle Traits in Sorghum under Semi-arid Conditions of Kenya

Naaman Arodi & Kahiu Ngugi · Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science · 2026

Aims: To determine the nature of gene action and combining ability governing yield and panicle traits in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) under semi-arid conditions of Kenya and to identify parental lines and cross combinations of potential value for breeding. Study Design: A North C...

Nutritional and Anti-nutritional Trade-offs among Elite Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Genotypes Revealed by Multivariate Analysis

Naaman Arodi & Kahiu Ngugi · Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science · 2026

Background: Sorghum is a climate-resilient staple crop in sub-Saharan Africa with significant nutritional potential, though its utilization is constrained by variability in grain quality and the presence of anti-nutritional factors. Aims: To evaluate nutritional and anti-nutritio...

Variation of Mineral Micronutrient Elements in Robusta Coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) As Measured by Energy Dispersive X -Ray Fluorescence

Pauline Aluka, Kahiu Ngugi & David Maina · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2016

Aim: Robusta coffee growing countries of the world such as Uganda, have experienced a decline in market prices since 2002 due to changed consumer preferences for other beverages. In Uganda, where Robusta coffee is the major income earner, one practical way of ensuring that coffee...
