Multiple co-infections by different pathogens on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) affect its productivity and cause complete crop loss in susceptible varieties. Therefore, gene pyramiding using marker assisted selection (MAS) and backcrossing, provide alternative cost-effective control measu...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plays an essential role in sustaining livelihoods of smallholder farmers and their families in Africa. At farm level, beans are attacked by a combination of fungal, bacterial and viral diseases leading to poor yields.
Deploying multiple disease resistant (MDR) ...

Root rots are one of the main biotic constraints to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production, causing losses estimated at 221 000 metric tons a year in sub-Saharan Africa. Until recently, root rots in Ugandan common bean agroecologies were mostly caused by Pythium and Fusarium spp., especia...

Though Rwanda is among the highest common bean producers and consumers, this crop is still challenged by different factors including root rot diseases resulting in low yield potential. Root rot diseases can cause up to 100% of yield loss. Despite different soil borne pathogens causing bean root r...

Common Bacterial Blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli var. fuscans (Xapf), is a serious disease that affects common bean production worldwide. In Uganda, it is the most severe and widely occurring bacterial disease, causing sign...
