Sorghum was the first indigenous African crop to have a completed genome sequence. This provides an invaluable tool for understanding sorghum traits genetically and identifying useful molecular markers. The challenge is to extract relevant information to improve the diverse complex traits of sorg...

Bringing the benefits of sorghum genomics to Africa
Selected lines of Stylosanthes guianensis, S scabra, S. capitata and S. macrocephala were established at field sites at Planaltina and Campo Grande in Brazil and at Carimagua and Caquetá in Colombia. Weather conditions at each site were monitored continuously using an automatic weather station. D...

Biodiversity, epidemiology and virulence of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. IV. Epidemiology of Stylosanthes anthracnose at the centre of host-pathogen diversity
The degree of genetic diversity of 127 Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolates from Stylosanthes guianensis genotypes in South America was measured at the molecular level by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) with nine arbitrary primers of 10 bases, and by restriction fragment length polymor...

Genetic diversity in South American Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolates from Stylosanthes guianensis, a tropical forage legume
Anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, is the most important and widespread disease of Stylosanthes, a diverse tropical and subtropical forage legume naturally distributed in central and South America. This paper compares the genetic and pathogenic diversity of 45 isolates, which ...

The enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi causes soft-rot diseases involving extensive tissue maceration in a wide variety of plants and secretes multiple pectic enzymes that degrade plant cell walls and middle lamellae. An E. chrysanthemi mutant with directed deletions or insertions in genes pehX...

This study developed a fast and reliable method of inoculating Brachiaria, a genus of tropical forage grasses, with Rhizoctonia solani, the causal agent of foliar blight disease. Using this method, 42 Brachiaria accessions were inoculated in both field and glasshouse, and their reactions to R. so...
