Smallholder farming communities face highly variable climatic conditions that threaten locally adapted, low-input agriculture. The benefits of modern crop breeding may fail to reach their fields when broadly adapted genetic materials do not address local requirements. To date, participatory metho...

Modern genomic breeding methods rely heavily on very large amounts of phenotyping and genotyping data, presenting new challenges in effective data management and integration. Recently, the size and complexity of datasets have increased significantly, with the result that data is often stored on m...

Nineteen early maturing, indeterminate common bean parents were crossed with a tester line of normal maturity. All parents, F1 hybrids, F2's, and backcross generations were evaluated at CIAT-Palmira, Colombia. All 19F1 populations flowered and matured almost as early as the respective early paren...

Rice sheath blight (ShB), caused by the soilborne pathogen Rhizoctonia
solani, annually causes severe losses in yield and quality in many
rice production areas worldwide. Jasmine 85 is an indica cultivar that has
proven to have a high level of resistance to this pathogen. The objective
of this st...

Cassava roots are the most important commercial product from this crop. Roots have two major components: the starchy parenchyma and the peel with higher amount of fibre and cyanogenic glucosides. In this study, a sample of 64 clones grown in replicated trials in five locations were evaluated for ...

A method for comparing locations as selection sites based upon their abilities to predict yield and disease reaction over a target region is proposed. The probability of coincidence in selection for a site is defined as the probability for a line selected at the site to be selected at other sites...

N2 fixation in lines of Phaseolus vulgaris was measured by 15N-isotope dilution to determine whether a programme of crossing and recurrent selection had resulted in enhanced nitrogen fixation. In field experiments on an isohyperthermic Aquic Hapludoll soil the amount of N2 fixed by the different ...
