Feasibilty of zein proteins, simple sequence repeats and phenotypic traits for background selection in quality protein maize breeding
(African Crop Science Society, 2011)
Widespread adoption of quality protein maize (QPM), especially among tropical farming systems has been slow mainly due to the slow process of generating varieties with acceptable kernel quality and adaptability to different ...
Response of improved cassava varieties in Uganda to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and their inherent resistance mechanisms
(Academic Journals, 2011)
Field based trials were setup to evaluate response and inherent resistance mechanisms to cassava mosaic disease (CMD) of four improved varieties; Nase 9, Nase 11, 00036 and 00057 together with Nase 4 and Bao as resistant ...
Combining ability of maize inbred lines for performance under low nitrogen and drought stresses
(African Crop Science Society, 2011)
Drought and infertile soils are increasingly the most important stresses affecting maize (Zea mays L.) and causing substantial yield losses in Sub-Saharan Africa. Varieties with improved water use efficiency and/or N would ...
