Genetics of resistance to groundnut rosette virus disease
(African Crop Science Society, 2014)
Groundnut Rosette Virus disease (GRD) has long been regarded a major limiting biotic constraint to groundnut production in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The disease is caused by a complex of three viral components that interact ...
Development of intermittent drought stress tolerant common bean genotypes in Uganda
(African Crop Science Society, 2014)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties that are high yielding and drought-tolerant are crucial in coping with the effects of drought, that is prevalent among small scale producers living in Uganda. The objective of ...
Inheritance of resistance to kernel infection by Aspergillusflavus and aflatoxin accumulation in groundnut
(International Scholars Journals, 2014)
Aflatoxin contamination in groundnut is one of the major barriers in international groundnut trade. Aflatoxin may cause human cancer, hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. The objectives of the study were to determine: (i) the ...
Inheritance of root dry matter content in sweet potato.
(African Crop Science Society, 2014)
There has been much emphasis on breeding for increased sweet potato storage root yield, but less on dry matter
yield, and its inheritance. High dry matter content (DMC) is associated with consumer preferences, and ...
