Journal ArticleDOI
An antiviral defense role of AGO2 in plants.
Jagger Harvey,Mathew G. Lewsey,Kanu Patel,Jack H. Westwood,Susanne Heimstädt,John P. Carr,David C. Baulcombe +6 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that there are multiple layers to RNA-mediated defense and counter-defense in the interactions between plants and their viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Aflatoxin and Fumonisin Contamination of Maize in Western Kenya.
TL;DR: Maize varieties differed in fumonisin contamination, with the most popular varieties vulnerable to both mycotoxins and weevils, which are potential factors in exacerbating mycotoxin contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extent and Drivers of Mycotoxin Contamination: Inferences from a Survey of Kenyan Maize Mills
Samuel Mutiga,Vincent M. Were,Vivian Hoffmann,Jagger Harvey,Michael G. Milgroom,Rebecca Nelson +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation in maize intended for immediate human consumption in eastern Kenya found a higher occurrence of aflatoxin was associated with smaller maize farms, lower grain yield, and monocropping systems, while a larger magnitude of the toxin was observed in the subhumid agroecological zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Aflatoxin Contamination of Maize, Peanut Meal and Poultry Feed Mixtures from Different Agroecological Zones in Cameroon
Jean Raphaël Kana,Benoit Gbemenou Joselin Gnonlonfin,Jagger Harvey,James M. Wainaina,Immaculate Wanjuki,Robert A. Skilton,A. Teguia +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that peanut meal is likely to be a high risk feed, and further investigation is needed to guide promotion of safe feeds for poultry in Cameroon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and molecular characterization of drought responses and identification of candidate tolerance genes in cassava
Laban F. Turyagyenda,Elizabeth Balyejusa Kizito,Morag Ferguson,Yona Baguma,Morris Agaba,Morris Agaba,Jagger Harvey,D. S. O. Osiru +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides an initial characterization of the molecular response of cassava to drought stress resembling field conditions and identifies candidate drought tolerance genes that can be used as expression-based markers of drought tolerance in cassava or be tested in the context of breeding and engineering droughtolerance in transgenics.
