Improvement of resistance to fusarium root rot through gene pyramiding and validation of SSR PVBR87 marker in common bean
(2011-05)
Fusarium root rot caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli is among the most serious diseases of the common bean in Uganda causing total crop loss in susceptible cultivars. Studies have indicated that 2-9 genes located ...
Perception and sanitisation of human faeces for soil fertility management in Uganda
(2011-03)
Soil fertility decline in sub-Saharan Africa stems from a number of causes, among which is nutrient drain through unregulated crop harvests, soil erosion and leaching deep into the soil profiles. Yet nutrient replenishment ...
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 ...

(Springer Verlag, 2011)
The criteria for identification, selection and kinship assignment of Ankole cattle and their roles to pastoralists were studied on 248 farms in Kiboga, Mbarara, Mpigi and Sembabule districts of Uganda using a questionnaire, ...
Productivity and morphology of Ankole cattle in three livestock production systems in Uganda
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2011)
Phenotypic characterization is critical in breed improvement and conservation. To determine the performance and morphological features of Ankole cattle in three livestock production systems (LPS) of Uganda, 248 farms were ...
Effect of genotype and feeding system on carcass characteristics and meat quality of Ankole cattle, Mubende goats and their crossbreds
(2011)
The main objectives of this study were to; establish effects of genotype and feeding system on carcass characteristics and meat quality and to investigate effects of postmortem storage on textural tenderness of meat from ...
Use and Management of Balanites aegyptiaca in Drylands of Uganda
(Medwell Online, 2011)
There is strong evidence across the drylands of Africa that local communities have utilized Indigenous Fruit Trees (IFTs) including Balanites for generation. IFTs have however, received limited recognition from research ...
