In breeding for drought tolerance, availability of precise, cheap and easy to apply selection tool is critical. The aim of the present study was to identify potential screening tools that are useful for selection of drought tolerant genotypes in potato and select drought resistant potato genotype...

Controlled pollination in root and tuber crops is challenging. Complex ploidy, cross-incompatibility, erratic flowering patterns, outcrossing, etc., limit the efficiency of breeding progress in these crops. Half-sib breeding that involves random pollination among parents is a viable method to har...


Norman, P.E.Asfaw, A.Tongoona, P.B.Danquah, A.Danquah, E.Y.Koeyer, D. deAsiedu, Robert[Can parentage analysis facilitate breeding activities in root and tuber crops?]Can parentage analysis facilitate breeding activities in root and tuber crops?

Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a major staple crop with high agricultural and cultural significance for over 300 million people in West Africa. Despite its importance, productivity is miserably low. A better understanding of the environmental context in the region is essential to unlock the crop’s poten...

Recurrent drought and late blight disease are the major factors limiting potato productivity in the northwest Ethiopian highlands. Incorporating drought tolerance and late blight resistance in the same genotypes will enable the development of cultivars with high and stable yield potential under e...


Hirut, B.Shimelis, H.Fentahun, M.Bonierbale, Merideth W.Gastelo, M.Asfaw, A.[Combining ability of highland tropic adapted potato for tuber yield and yield components under drought]Combining ability of highland tropic adapted potato for tuber yield and yield components under drought
Asfaw, A.Lemenih, MulugetaKassa, H.Ewnetu, Z.[Importance, determinants and gender dimensions of forest income in eastern highlands of Ethiopia: the case of communities around Jelo Afromontane forest]Importance, determinants and gender dimensions of forest income in eastern highlands of Ethiopia: the case of communities around Jelo Afromontane forest

Breeding yams is a two-step process that combines sexual and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involving a transfer of pollen from male to female genotype reproductive organ is a key step to generate variability in yam improvement. The efficacy of genetic improvement therefore depends on ...

Micronutrient deficiencies in diets, including iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), are an important public health problem across population in Ethiopia. Potato is a modest source of dietary nutrients. The purpose of this study was to assess the mineral (Fe & Zn) composition of potato germplasm in Ethiopia a...


Asfaw, A.Woldegiorgis, G.Kolech, S.A.Mulugeta, G.Mulugeta, D.Ngugi, A.Burgos, G.Felde, T. zumBonierbale, Merideth W.[Micro-nutrient composition and end-user acceptable quality in potato in Ethiopia]Micro-nutrient composition and end-user acceptable quality in potato in Ethiopia

Drought stress linked with climate change is one of the major constraints faced by common bean farmers in Africa and elsewhere. Mitigating this constraint requires the selection of resilient varieties that withstand drought threats to common bean production. This study assessed the drought respon...
