Akinbo, OlalekanLabuschagne, M.T.Fregene, Martin A.[Increased storage protein from interspecific F1 hybrids between cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and its wild progenitor (M. esculenta ssp. flabellifolia)]Increased storage protein from interspecific F1 hybrids between cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) and its wild progenitor (M. esculenta ssp. flabellifolia)

The most widespread disease of economic importance of cassava is caused by whitefly vector, both as a single strain or combination of strains. A B1P2 family was generated from the crosses of an inter-specific F1 hybrid (CW 198-11) as a female parent with a commercial cassava cultivar (MTAI-8) as ...

The objectives of this study were to collect and characterise Malawian cassava germplasm using ethnobotany, morphological and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Exploration of accessions with the help of indigenous knowledge was done. Ninety three accessions collected from f...

Forty-five Musa clones, including endemic and introduced cultivars plus hybrids, were evaluated for resistance against the banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus, in a field trial in Uganda. The predominant groups of staple crops, East African highland bananas (Musa spp. AAA) and plantains (Musaspp...


Kiggundu, A.Gold, C.S.Labuschagne, M.T.Vuylsteke, D.R.Louw, S.[Levels of host plant resistance to banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Ugandan Musa germplasm]Levels of host plant resistance to banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Ugandan Musa germplasm

When cassava is harvested too early, it often leads to reduction in yield, while delayed harvest leads to development of woody and fibrous tuberous roots, and reduction in starch content. The optimum harvest time is not known. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of genotype,...


Benesi, I.R.Labuschagne, M.T.Herselman, L.Mahungu, N.M.Saka, J.K.[The effect of genotype, location and season on cassava starch extraction]The effect of genotype, location and season on cassava starch extraction

An improved understanding of phenotypic variation within cassava germplasm in southern, eastern and central Africa will help to formulate knowledge-based breeding strategies. Thus, the overall objective of this study was to examine the phenotypic variation in cassava germplasm available within si...


Kawuki, Robert S.Ferguson, M.Labuschagne, M.T.Herselman, L.Orone, J.Ralimanana, I.Bidiaka, M.Lukombo, S.Kanyange, M.C.Gashaka, G.Mkamilo, G.S.Gethi, J.Mkamilo, G.S.[Variation in qualitative and quantitative traits of cassava germplasm from selected national breeding programmes in subSaharan Africa]Variation in qualitative and quantitative traits of cassava germplasm from selected national breeding programmes in subSaharan Africa

Molecular characterization is important for efficient utilization of germplasm and development of improved varieties. In the present study, we investigated the genetic purity, relatedness and population structure of 265 maize inbred lines from the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIA...


Ertiro, B.T.Semagn, K.Das, B.Olsen, M.Labuschagne, M.T.Worku, M.Wegary, D.Azmach, G.Ogugo, V.Keno, T.Abebe, B.Chibsa, T.Menkir, A.[Genetic variation and population structure of maize inbred lines adapted to the midaltitude sub-humid maize agro-ecology of Ethiopia using single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers]Genetic variation and population structure of maize inbred lines adapted to the midaltitude sub-humid maize agro-ecology of Ethiopia using single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) markers

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the second most important staple food crop in sub-Saharan Africa, providing up to 285 calories per person per day. Cassava starch is a potentially important industrial material in Malawi. Industries hesitate to use cassava starch because the powder sold by so...

Knowledge of genetic diversity within and among genotypes of any crop is fundamental for estimation of the potential genetic gain in a breeding programme and effective conservation of available genetic resources. Currently, different molecular marker techniques are being developed for measuring g...
