Diversity and potential of nematodes associated with bacteria for bio-control of insect pests in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2011-07)
A significant number of nematodes are associated with bacteria. These nematodes live mainly in the soil where they feed on bacteria and other soil organisms. They play commensal, obligate parasitism and pathogenesis ...
Genetic diversity and differentiation of Ankole cattle populations in Uganda inferred from microsatellite data
(Elsevier, 2011-01-05)
A total of 304 individuals from eight Ankole cattle populations of Uganda were analysed based on 19 microsatellite markers to investigate genetic diversity, relationships and population structure. Across all loci, 200 ...

This study was conducted in a variety of forest habitats in the Albertine Rift region. The study was conducted in the various sites between 15th November 2001 and 13th December 2003 with a major goal of assessing the status ...
Diversity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris l) germplasm in Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2013-11)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) is a diploid, self-pollinated species with 2n = 2x = 22 chromosomes and the most important legume grown in Uganda. A large collection of 320 common bean accessions obtained from different ...
Tree species diversity and their carbon sequestration potential on cultivated farms in Agago District
(2023-07-07)
On-farm tree species retention usually results in maintenance or increase of tree diversity and carbon sequestration. This study evaluated the contribution of trees integrated on-farm to tree species diversity and carbon ...
Pathogenic variation of colletotrichum lindemuthianum causing anthracnose of beans (phaseolus vulgaris) in Uganda
(ESci Journals, 2016-01)
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a highly variable pathogen of common beans that easily overcomes resistance in cultivars bred with single-gene resistance. To determine pathogenic variability of the pathogen in Uganda, ...
