Adebayo, M.A.Menkir, A.Gedil, M.Blay, E.Gracen, V.E.Danquah, E.Y.Funmilayo, L.[Diversity assessment of drought tolerant exotic and adapted maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines with microsatellite markers]Diversity assessment of drought tolerant exotic and adapted maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines with microsatellite markers

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 ...


Ribeiro, P.F.Badu-Apraku, B.Gracen, V.E.Danquah, E.Y.García Oliveira, A.L.Asante, M.D.Afriyie-Debrah, CharlesGedil, M.[Identification of QTLs for grain yield and other traits in tropical maize under high and low soil-nitrogen environments.]Identification of QTLs for grain yield and other traits in tropical maize under high and low soil-nitrogen environments.

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...


Lokko, Y.Dixon, A.Offei, S.Danquah, E.Y.Fregene, Martin A.[Assessment of genetic diversity among African cassava Manihot esculenta Grantz accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease using SSR markers]Assessment of genetic diversity among African cassava Manihot esculenta Grantz accessions resistant to the cassava mosaic virus disease using SSR markers

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...


Lokko, Y.Dixon, Alfred G.O.Offei, S.K.Danquah, E.Y.[Gene complementarity of resistance to the cassava mosaic disease among African cassava accessions]Gene complementarity of resistance to the cassava mosaic disease among African cassava accessions

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...


Lokko, Y.Dixon, Alfred G.O.Offei, S.Danquah, E.Y.[Combining ability analysis of resistance to mosaic virus disease in cassava]Combining ability analysis of resistance to mosaic virus disease in cassava

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...


Adebayo, M.A.Menkir, A.Blay, E.Gracen, V.E.Danquah, E.Y.Hearne, S.[Genetic analysis of drought tolerance in adapted X exotic crosses of maize inbred lines under managed stress conditions]Genetic analysis of drought tolerance in adapted X exotic crosses of maize inbred lines under managed stress conditions

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?

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...


Ezenwaka, L.C.Carpio, D.P. delJannink, Jean-LucRabbi, Ismail Y.Danquah, E.Y.Asante, I.Danquah, A.Blay, E.Egesi, Chiedozie N.[Genome-wide association study of resistance to cassava green mite pest and related traits in cassava]Genome-wide association study of resistance to cassava green mite pest and related traits in cassava

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 ...

Breeding maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids resistant to Striga and tolerant to low soil nitrogen (low-N) will reduce grain yield losses due to stresses in West Africa (WA). Studies were conducted to determine if selection for Striga resistance and/or drought tolerance in early-maturing maize population...
