Pod shattering in soybean is a major production constraint causing high field yield losses in the tropic and sub tropics. With regard to pod shattering, soybean varieties can be categorised as tolerant, intermediate or susceptible. Six soybean lines, Nam 2, TGx 1448-2E, Duiker, Nam 1, TGm 737P an...

Determination of field yield loss and effect of environment on pod shattering in soybean
A total of 304 individuals from eight Ankole cattle populations of Uganda were analysed based on 19 microsatellite markers to investigate genetic diversity, relationships and population structure. Across all loci, 200 alleles were observed. A high mean number of alleles (MNA) per locus, ranging f...

Genetic diversity and differentiation of Ankole cattle populations in Uganda inferred from microsatellite data
Phenotypic characterization is critical in breed improvement and conservation. To determine the performance and morphological features of Ankole cattle in three livestock production systems (LPS) of Uganda, 248 farms were studied. Height at withers (HW), heart girth (HG), body length (BL), ear le...

This study aimed to estimate the level of relatedness within Ankole cattle herds using autosomal microsatellite markers and to assess the accuracy of relationship assignment based on farmers' memory. Eight cattle populations (four from each of two counties in Mbarara district in Uganda) were stud...

Accuracy of pastoralists' memory-based kinship assignment of Ankole cattle: A microsatellite DNA analysis
The criteria for identification, selection and kinship assignment of Ankole cattle and their roles to pastoralists were studied on 248 farms in Kiboga, Mbarara, Mpigi and Sembabule districts of Uganda using a questionnaire, administered during one-to-one interviews. Farms were randomly sampled al...
