The genetics of resistance to bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) was studied in an 8×8 complete diallel cross of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. The 28F1 hybrids, their reciprocals, and eight parents were artificially inoculated with BGMV under glasshouse conditions. Data were recorded and analyz...

Bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris check for this species in other resources L.) production in Africa is constrained by edaphic stresses. A pan-African effort, Bean Improvement for Low Fertility in Africa (BILFA), was initiated in 1990 to screen beans for tolerance to several edaphic stresses. In the fir...

Although cassava is a major food crop, its scientific breeding began only recently compared with other crops. Significant progress has been achieved, particularly in Asia where cassava is used mainly for industrial processes and no major biotic constraints affect its productivity. Cassava breedin...

Tropical soils are particularly vulnerable to fertility losses due to their low capacity to retain organic matter and mineral nutrients. This urges the development of new agricultural practices to manage mineral nutrients and organic matter in a more sustainable way while relying less on fertiliz...

Sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam] breeding is important for food security and health in East Africa (EA), and a breeding platform in Uganda provides national researchers and breeders in EA with true seed. Our objectives were to characterize genetic relationships among parental material used ...

In many low input agricultural systems, phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting mineral nutrients for plant production. Although applying P fertilizer, if available, is the most performing practice, this should be accompanied by other measures. The use of genetically enhanced plants with impro...

Microsatellite polymorphism was studied in a sample of 39 traditional rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties and 11 improved varieties widely planted in Cuba. The study was aimed at assessing the extent of genetic variation in traditional and improved varieties and to establish their genetic relationsh...

Traditional breeding efforts are expected to be greatly enhanced through collaborative approaches incorporating functional, comparative and structural genomics. Potential benefits of combining genomic tools with traditional breeding have been a source of widespread interest and resulted in numero...

Phytate is an important antinutritional component of legume seeds, which chelates minerals that are essential to the human diet such as iron and zinc. Phytate levels are often correlated with total seed phosphorus (P). The objective of this research was to evaluate quantitative trait loci (QTL) f...
