Performance of 15 introduced banana genotypes in three agro-ecological zones of Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2011-10)
Almost all the farmers in Uganda have no idea which banana genotype is best suited for their location. Subsequently there is dire need for information on genotypes and their performance in the different Agro ecological ...
Determinants of consumers choice and willingness to pay for quality beef
(Makerere University, 2014-10)
Understanding consumers‟ beef quality preference and willingness (WTP) to pay are pre-requisites to produce beef that meets consumers‟ eating satisfaction and increase beef demand. This study established the beef quality ...

(2013)
This study to identify the role of farmers’ organizations in enhancing economic efficiency in potato production in Rwanda was carried out in Musanze district. The study aimed to analyse the contribution of farmers’ ...
Molecular structure and functional properties of starches on the East African market
(Makerere University, 2012)
Starches have an unrivalled potential as raw materials for several food and non-food uses such as bakery, confectionary, brewery, textiles, pharmaceuticals, paper and laundry. Unravelling the potential of commercial starches ...
Characterization and expression analysis of Isoamylasei in cassava and its wild relatives
(Makerere University, 2011-09)
Characterization of starch genes in Manihot esculenta is limited. The cDNA (764 bp) of
Isoamylase1 was isolated from the cassava storage roots; its copy number, spatial and
temporal expression patterns were studied. ...
Inheritance of tolerance to intermittent drought stress in selected common bean genotypes.
(2013)
In Uganda, common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important source of food and income generation for all categories of people. It also forms the main source of dietary protein for the poor. Bean is also very essential ...
Inheritance of bacterial leaf blight resistance in interspecific and intraspecific rice genotypes in Uganda.
(2013)
Information on the inheritance and gene action of Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae is known for many Asian rice populations, but very little is known about Ugandan rice populations. This ...
Inheritance of rosette virus disease resistance among early maturing groundnut accessions in Uganda.
(2013)
Groundnut rosette disease (GRD) has long been regarded as a major limiting biotic constraint to groundnut production restricted to Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). The disease has been reported to be caused by a complex of three ...
Evaluation of the usefulness criterion to identify Bi-Parental maize populations with the best potential for producing superior inbreds.
(Makerere University, 2014)
Because resources are obviously restricted, it is not possible to advance all the progenies generated to later generations, so there is need to reduce the number of populations that will be subject to intensive testing and ...
Evaluation of Ugandan sorghum accessions for cytoplasm male sterility status and combining ability for hybrid development.
(2014)
In sorghum, a predominantly self-pollinated crop, hybrid seed production relies exclusively on the cytoplasmic-genetic male sterility system. The system of hybrid development requires sorghum breeding programs to develop ...
