Low soil Nitrogen (low-N) is one of the most important abiotic stresses responsible for significant yield losses in maize (Zea mays. L.). The development and commercialization of low N tolerant genotypes can contribute to improved food security in developing countries. However, selection for low ...
From 6 to 8 December, CCAFS theme 1 organized a workshop staged on the Addis Ababa campus of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). The workshop titled 'Developing climate-smart crops for 2030 world' involved over 40 participants from 16 countries, broadly divided along either sid...
A study was conducted to determine the extent of genetic diversity among African cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD), using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The accessions included a breeding stock (clone 58308), five improved lin...
The cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD) is the most important disease o1'cassava in Africa, causing severe economic losses. The genetic stock, clone 58308, has been extensively used in breeding for resistance to the disease, but recently, other sources o1'resistance to the disease have been identi...
A North Carolina design II experiment, with three improved cassava (Mctnihot esculenta Crantz) accessions as the female parents, l5 cassava landraces and three improved cassava accessions as the male parents (3 x I 8), was evaluated in three environments in Nigeria to determine the mode of gene a...
Abstract Introduced maize (Zea mays L.) germplasmcan serve as sources of favorable alleles toenhance performance in new maize varieties andhybrids under drought stress conditions. In the presentstudy, the combining abilities of 12 exotic maizeinbred lines from CIMMYT and 12 adapted maizeinbred li...
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...
Cassava green mite [CGM, Mononychellus tanajoa (Bondar)] is a dry-season pest that usually feeds on the underside of young leaves causing leaf chlorosis, stunted growth, and root yield reduction by 80%. Since cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) leaves and roots serve as a primary staple food sourc...
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 ...
