Analysis of Genetic Variability of Potato Induced Mutants Using Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Markers

Emmy Chepkoech, Miriam G. Kinyua, Oliver Kiplagat, Julius Ochuodho, Souleymane Bado & Stephen Kimno · Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science · 2024

Aims: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is ranked fourth amongst the world’s major stable food crop and second in Kenya after maize and thus plays a vital role in food and nutrition security and sustainable development. Despite its importance, potato production in Kenya is still low...

Open access Research Article 10.9734/ajrcs/2024/v9i1259

Assessment of the Ploidy Level Diversity by Chloroplast Counts in Stomatal Guard Cells of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) Mutants

Emmy Chepkoech, Miriam G. Kinyua, Oliver Kiplagat, Julius Ochuodho, Souleymane Bado, Zachary Kinyua, Stephen Kimno & Michael Chelulei · Asian Journal of Research in Crop Science · 2019

Aims: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the most important staple food in the world and plays an important role in food and nutritional security. Induced mutation generates variation within potato germplasm to widen the genetic base for breeding purposes. Polyploidy modifies both...

Open access Research Article 10.9734/ajrcs/2019/v4i330076

Assessment of Genetic Variability Estimates of Selected Traits in Irish Potato Mutants

Emmy Chepkoech, Miriam G. Kinyua, Oliver Kiplagat, Julius Ochuodho, Stephen Kimno & Leah Boit · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2018

Aims: For an effective potato breeding strategy, knowledge of the genetic parameters of traits, such as heritabilities and genetic correlations are essential, hence the need to assess the genetic variability estimates of yield-related traits in Irish potato mutants Study Design:...

Open access Research Article 10.9734/JABB/2018/44850

Application of Gamma Induced Mutation in Breeding Potato for Bacterial Wilt Disease Resistance

Emmy Chepkoech, Miriam Kinyua, Julius Ochuodho, Oliver Kiplagat, Souleymane Bado & Zachary Kinyua · International Journal of Pathogen Research · 2020

Aims: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production in Kenya has not been achieved in its full potential due to susceptibility of potato varieties to pest and diseases among others. Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum in potato is regarded as an important disease contribu...
