Twelve cassava landraces were evaluated for sources of resistance genes to diseases and pests of major economic importance in Africa. The objective was to assess their levels of field resistance to mosaic disease (ACMD), bacterial blight (CBB), anthracnose (CAD), and green mite (CGM), compared to...

A multilocational evaluation trial comprising 18 Musa genotypes was carried out from 1991to1994 in three respective locations in Humid Forest (Onne, Nigeria and M' Balmayo, Cameroon) and the Forest- Savanna Transition (Ibadan, Nigeria) zones of West and Central Africa.

Historically, conventional breeding has been the primary strategy used to develop a number of Striga-resistant varieties currently grown in the Sahel of Western Africa. In this study, we have successfully developed and applied a marker-assisted selection strategy that employs a single backcross p...

The purpose of this research was to identify the genetic basis of foliar and tuber resistance to Phytophthora infestans in a potato breeding population developed from a cross between two tetraploid Solanum tuberosum lines, NY121 and NY115. The parent with high foliar resistance, NY121, was highly...

Bacterial wilt of cassava (Manihot esculenta) is the most serious disease in Central and South America, and it has recently been reported in Africa. The symptoms are foliage lesions, dieback, exudation of gum from the young sprouts, and vascular necrosis of stems and roots of susceptible cultivar...

Large-scale screening of cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz, genotypes for resistance to infestation by whitefly Bemisia tabaci Gennadius, the vector of cassava mosaic geminiviruses, is limited. A range of new cassava elite clones were therefore assessed for the whitefly infestation in the 1999/20...

Striga spp. are obligate root hemiparasites that constrain cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. Although purple witchweed [ Striga hermonthica (Delile) Benth.] and Asiatic witchweed [ Striga asiatica (L.) Kuntze] infect all cereal crops, maize ( Zea mays L.) is particularly vulnerable to thei...

A total of 436 African landraces and 497 improved cassava genotypes were planted in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 growing seasons.. These were evaluated for their reactions to cassava anthracnose disease (CAD) under natural infection conditions at Ibadan (a high infection zone). The severity of the d...

Studies were made to identify sources of resistance to yam viruses in Dioscorea alata. Forty genotypes of D. alata were evaluated in both the field and in the screenhouse for reactions to the yam viruses: Yam mosaic virus (YMV), genus Potyvirus; Dioscorea alata virus (DAV), genus Potyvirus; Cucum...
