Utilizing heated pollen and Androgenesis pathways for the production of haploids in cassava
(Makerere University, 2022-05-16)
It takes no less than eight years to develop a new variety because the cassava breeding cycle is long, and its multiplication rate slow. Cassava breeding is based on the use of heterozygous progenitors, which has important ...

(Makerere University, 2022-03)
The study aimed to establish the phylogeny, review the taxonomic circumscription and
establish the current distribution of Chlorophytum species in Uganda. Seventy districts were
surveyed between June 2019 and January ...
The use of Splines for solving ill-posed problems, with application to the Cauchy problems for the Heat and Helmholtz equations.
(Makerere University, 2022-03-22)
Inverse heat conduction: The Cauchy problem for the heat equation is a model of situation where one seeks to compute the temperature, or heat-flux, at the surface of a body by using interior measurements. The problem is ...
Potential of Azolla Pinnata R. BR. green manure for enhancing production and nutritive value of Zea Mays L.
(Makerere University, 2022-04)
We are faced with a challenge of meeting the food demands for the rapidly growing global population, yet the soils are becoming increasingly infertile. Climate smart agricultural technologies such as use of Azolla pinnata ...
Advances in carbon dioxide and propylene oxide copolymerization to form poly(propylene carbonate) over heterogeneous catalysts
(Elsevier, 2022)
Chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added products is an attractive industrial process
because it offers several economic and environmental advantages. This review presents advances and challenges
in ...
Genetic profiles of single nucleotide polymorphisms in alcohol metabolizing enzymes in the Ugandan population
(Makerere University, 2022-02)
The pathway for alcohol (ethanol) metabolism in the body is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes (ADHs), catalase (CAT) and CYP2E1 to generate acetaldehyde, which is metabolized by aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes ...
