In a bid to fast-track the process of selection of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes resistant to the cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses, a number of molecular markers have been developed to map resistance genes. The simple sequence repeat (SSR) ...

Yam (Dioscorea spp.), a multispecies,
polyploidy, and vegetatively
propagated crop, is an economically
important staple food for more than
300 million people in West Africa,
Asia, Oceania, and the Caribbean.

Background
Maize yield potential is rarely maximized in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) due to the devastating effects of drought stress and Striga hermonthica parasitism. This study was conducted to determine the gains in grain yield and associated changes in an early-maturing yellow bi-parental maize ...
