Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD) is a very serious disease in many cassava growing areas of the Eastern zone of Tanzania. It is mainly confined to the lower elevations, mainly along the coast yield losses of up to 74% occur as a result of CBSD infection in some part of the Eastern zone. In the...

The genetic improvement of banana and plantain has focused on breeding for resistance to black sigatoka. This has been quite successful, but the distribution of improved hybrids has been impeded by the outbvreak of Banana streak virus (BSV). Integration of viral sequences in Musa genomes make it ...

Viruses of the genera Potyvirus, Potexvirus, Badnavirus, Cucumovirus, and Carlavirus infect yams of different species worldwide. These viruses cause a range of symptoms including mosaics, mottle, vein clearing, chlorosis, stunting, and distortion. These lead to a chronic and sometimes severe dise...

The Maize streak virus (MSV) disease has been one of the most devastating diseases of maize (Zea mays L.) in all the countries of West and Central Africa (WCA). For a long time, breeding for resistance to the disease was frustrating because of lack of facilities for uniform artifi cial inoculatio...

Parkia biglobosa, a NTFP tree species commonly known as "néré" is particularly important in the diet of rural and urban populations in the Sudano-Sahelian zone. The seeds are processed into a highly nutritious sauce, called "soumbala", combined with cereal dishes. While néré is very popular, its ...

Access to forest resources: women's rights to Parkia biglobosa in three villages in Central-West Burkina Faso
This paper first presents a clustering of women based on the characterization of their distinct access rights to néré. Secondly, the types of access rights are characterized also in spatial terms, based on the type of land use where the women harvesting is exercised.
