Plant parasitic nematodes impose a severe constraint on plantain and banana productivity; however, the sterile nature of many cultivars precludes conventional breeding for resistance. Transgenic plantain cv. Gonja manjaya (Musa AAB) plants, expressing a maize cystatin that inhibits nematode diges...

Breeding for resistant genotypes is the best strategy to offset the destructive effects of cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava bacterial blight (CBB). Two sets of diallel parents were selected for the forest and the savannah ecological zones in Ghana based on good levels of resistance to CMD...

The bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) cultivar Jules and the PI 207262 line are moderately resistant to Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli in the temperate zone but appeared susceptible in field evaluations in the tropics. Susceptibility to the pathogen was related to environmental factors that caused v...

A total of 44 bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes was evaluated for disease reactions to bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) by mechanical and whitefly inoculation under glasshouse and field conditions, respectively. Most of the genotypes reacted similarly under both screening conditions, with a f...

In Rayong, Thailand, a regional workshop was carried out with breeders and agronomists of the various cassava producing countries in southern Asia in an attempt to establish a cassava research network to increase cassava productivity in the region and improve the prevailing standard of living. Ad...

Cassava breeders and scientists in related fields from the 3 major cassava-producing continents (America, Africa, and Asia) were brought together for the lst time to discuss the latest advances in cassava breeding research and exchange ideas on future priorities. Most breeding programs now orient...

An expt. to study the background soil effects associated with var. resistance in bean pest populations, virus incidence and yield was carried out at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), Palmira, Colombia from Jan.-March, 1978. The effect of the treatments and of the var. on Em...
