Okogbenin, EmmanuelSetter, TLFerguson, M.Mutegi, RCeballos, HernanOlasanmi, BFregene, Martin A.[Phenotypic approaches to drought in cassava: review]Phenotypic approaches to drought in cassava: review

Cassava (Manihot esculenta L.) is one of the most important food crops in the tropics, but yields are far below their potential. The gene pool of cassava contains natural genetic diversity relevant to many important breeding goals, but breeding progress has been slow, partly because of insuf-fici...


Rabbi, Ismail Y.Hamblin, M.Gedil, M.Kulakow, P.A.Ferguson, M.Ikpan, A.Ly, D.Jannink, Jean-Luc[Genetic mapping using genotypingbysequencing in the clonally propagated cassava]Genetic mapping using genotypingbysequencing in the clonally propagated cassava

Cassava is a globally important food security and industrial crop produced for food, feed, starch and biofuel. Cassava is drought-tolerant and can grow in poor soils. Roots can be stored in the ground for long periods as part of intact growing plants, allowing flexible harvest times for poor farm...


Ayling, S.Ferguson, M.Rounsley, S.Kulakow, P.A.[Information resources for cassava research and breeding]Information resources for cassava research and breeding

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important security crop that faces severe yield loses due to cassava brown streak disease (CBSD). Motivated by the slow progress of conventional breeding, genetic improvement of cassava is undergoing rapid change due to the implementation of quantitative t...


Kayondo, S.I.Carpio, D.P. delLozano, R.Ozimati, A.A.Wolfe, M.Baguma, Yona K.Gracen, V.Offei, S.Ferguson, M.Kawuki, R.Jannink, Jean-Luc[Genome-wide association mapping and genomic prediction for CBSD resistance in Manihot esculenta]Genome-wide association mapping and genomic prediction for CBSD resistance in Manihot esculenta

East African Highland bananas (EAHBs) are a subgroup of triploid (AAA genome) bananas of importance to food security in the Great Lakes region of Africa. Little is known about their genetic variation, population structure and evolutionary history. Ninety phenotypically diverse EAHB cultivars were...


Kitavi, M.Downing, T.Lorenzen, J.H.Karamura, D.Onyango, M.Nyine, M.Ferguson, M.Spillane, Charles[The triploid East African Highland Banana (EAHB) genepool is genetically uniform arising from a single ancestral clone that underwent population expansion by vegetative propagation]The triploid East African Highland Banana (EAHB) genepool is genetically uniform arising from a single ancestral clone that underwent population expansion by vegetative propagation

A well-saturated genetic linkage map is valuable for fundamental and applied genetic research. Genetic linkage maps of two half-sib diploid banana populations were constructed using allele-specific-polymerase chain reactions (AS-PCRs), diversity array technology (DArT), and simple sequence repeat...


Mbanjo, E.Tchoumbougnang, F.Mouelle, A.Oben, J.Nyine, M.Dochez, C.Ferguson, M.Lorenzen, J.H.[Molecular markerbased genetic linkage map of a diploid banana population (Musa acuminata Colla)]Molecular markerbased genetic linkage map of a diploid banana population (Musa acuminata Colla)

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most important food security crops in the tropics and increasingly being adopted for agro-industrial processing. Genetic improvement of cassava can be enhanced through marker-assisted breeding. For this, appropriate genomic tools are required to di...


Rabbi, Ismail Y.Kulembeka, H.P.Masumba, E.Marri, P.Ferguson, M.[An ESTderived SNP and SSR genetic linkage map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)]An ESTderived SNP and SSR genetic linkage map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
Jayashree, B.Ferguson, M.Illut, D.Doyle, J.Jonathan, H.[Analysis of genomic sequences from peanut (Arachis hypogaea)]Analysis of genomic sequences from peanut (Arachis hypogaea)

Genetic relationships among 88 pigeonpea accessions from a presumed centre of origin and diversity, India and a presumed secondary centre of diversity in East Africa were evaluated using six microsatellite markers. Forty-seven (47) alleles were detected in the populations studied, with a mean of ...


Songok, S.Ferguson, M.Muigai, Anne W.T.Silim, S.[Genetic diversity in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] Landraces as revealed by simple sequence repeat markers]Genetic diversity in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] Landraces as revealed by simple sequence repeat markers

Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) is currently the major disease affecting cassava production in Eastern and Southern Africa. Breeding for resistance has been hampered by a lack of sources of resistance and the complexity of CBSD. This study was initiated to assess the possibility of exploiting...
