Tar spot complex (TSC) is a highly destructive disease of maize found in some countries in America. Identification of TSC resistant germplasm and elucidating the genetic mechanism of resistance is crucial for the use of host resistance to manage this disease. We evaluated 890 elite maize inbred l...

The whitefy Bemisia tabaci, a species complex consisting of many morphologically indistinguishable species divided into distinct clades, is one of the most globally important agricultural pests and plant virus vectors. Cassava-colonizing B. tabaci transmits viruses that cause cassava mosaic disea...

It is claimed that, with the exception of Musa balbisiana, all banana varieties are susceptible to bacterial wilt caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm). Despite being resistant to Xcm infection, M. balbisiana is not preferred
for breeding because it belongs to the BB genome subgro...

Coevolution of the angular leaf spot pathogen, Phaeoisariopsis griseola, with its common bean host has been demonstrated, and P. griseola isolates have been divided into Andean and Mesoamerican groups that correspond to defined bean gene pools. Recent characterization of P. griseola isolates from...

Mating type, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (Gpi) allozyme banding patterns, response to the fungicide metalaxyl and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to characterize genetic variability among 141 Canadian isolates of Phytophthora infestans collected between 1994 and 1996. ...

Angular leaf spot (ALS) is one of the most devastating diseases of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in tropical and subtropical countries. The causal fungus, Phaeoisariopsis griseola(Sacc.) Ferr. is highly variable and a diverse source of resistance genes is required to manage this disease. We...

Abstract Maize streak virus (MSV) disease is a devastating
disease in the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), which causes
significant yield loss in maize. Resistance to MSV has
previously been mapped to a major QTL (Msv1) on chromosome
1 that is germplasm and environment independent
and to several minor l...

Use of genetic resistance is the most practical and economic way to manage anthracnose of common bean. Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, the causal agent of bean anthracnose, is a highly variabile pathogen, and there are no host resistance genes that are effective against all known races of the path...

Plant breeding and improved management options have made remarkable progress in increasing crop yields during the past century. However, climate change projections suggest that large yield losses will be occurring in many regions, particularly within sub-Saharan Africa. The development of climate...
