Genotype-by-environment interaction of yam (Dioscorea species) for yam mosaic virus resistance, dry matter content and yield in Uganda
(MDPI, 2022-08-23)
Often, yam cultivars grown in different agro-ecologies show differential responses across
production environments, a term known as "genotype-by-environment interaction. Such genotype-by-environment
interaction makes the ...
Genetic diversity and population structure of Uganda’s yam (Dioscorea spp.) genetic resource based on DArTseq
(Public Library of Science, 2023-02-14)
Assessing the genetic diversity of yam germplasm from different geographical origins for cultivation and breeding purposes is an essential step for crop genetic resource conservation and genetic improvement, especially ...
Phenotypic diversity within Ugandan yam (Dioscorea species) germplasm collection
(Hindawi, 2022-12-19)
A proper understanding of the diversity of the available germplasm is an initial step for the genetic improvement of a crop through
breeding. However, there is limited information on the diversity of Uganda’s yam germplasm. ...
Diversity and genome-wide association mapping of farmer preferred traits yam genetic resources in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2023-04-03)
Although yam is a very important crop with the potential to address future food insecurity resulting from challenges due to climate change and increasing world population, its potential has largely remained unexploited in ...
