Little information is available regarding the relationship of Caribbean bean landraces with the Andean and Mesoamerican gene pools of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) While small-seeded Mesoamerican black beans are prevalent in parts of the Caribbean, many of the regionally preferred red mottl...

If we are to breed common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for durable resistance to diseases, we must understand pathogenic variation and find sources of resistance. Our first objective was to determine the patterns of pathogenic variation found among isolates of Phaeoisariopsis griseola (PG), the f...

Field inoculation trials with cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) were conducted in Quilichao (typic Dystropept soil) and Carimagua (Haplustox soil). In Quilichao, with a large and effective native VA-mycorrhizal (VAM) population, inoculation withGlomus manihotis did not increase cassava yields si...

Forty-five international races of Pyricularia grisea, representing all nine race groups, were identified in a "hot spot" breeding site (Santa Rosa) in Colombia, with the largest number included in the IA group. The international race system did not fully describe the virulence spectrum of the iso...

The paper summarizes research conducted at International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) on responses of cassava to extended water shortages in the field aided by modern gas-exchange and water-relation techniques as well as biochemical assays. The aim of the research was to coordinate basi...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is an important staple crop, especially in the arid tropics. Because roots of commercial cassava cultivars contain a limited amount of provitamin A carotenoids, both conventional breeding and genetic modification are being applied to increase their production and accum...

Deployment of resistant varieties is one major approach to controlling cassava bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam). To understand the genetic determinism of resistance to CBB, the use of reliable parameters measuring resistance is necessary. In order to te...

Fifty-three bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) accessions were evaluated for their reactions to infection by Macrophomina phaseolina under field and greenhouse conditions. A field nursery was established on an experimental farm near Santander de Quilichao, Colombia. All accessions were evaluated in paired...

Rapid-cycling recurrent selection has been implemented to produce cassava varieties that deliver provitamin A carotenoids to human populations that are affected by vitamin A deficiency. Rapid-cycling
selection relies on quantification in just one plant per genotype. This study was conducted to a...

A Brazilian isolate of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. phaseoli (F. o. f. sp. phaseoli) was used to determine the reactions of 66 lines of beans to the Fusarium yellows pathogen in greenhouse tests. The distal 1 cm of root tips of 1-wk-old seedlings grown in sterilized sand were removed, roots were dip...
