Performance and nutritional assessment of transgenic tropical maize (zea mays l.) harbouring isopentenyl transferase gene under drought stress
(Kenyatta university, 2022)Maize productivity is significantly influenced by various abiotic factors key among them drought. Development of crops that are tolerant to drought via genetic engineering is considered the best possible solution to this ... -
Molecular characterization of tp53 gene diversity among elephant populations in kenya
(Kenyatta university, 2022-05)P53 is the protein encoded by the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. P53 plays an essential role in cancer prevention. In-depth analysis of comparative genomics might hold the promise of overcoming cancer in the near future. ... -
