Virus-like symptoms (due to banana streak virus, cucumber mosaic virus, or both) have been observed in plants of Musa hybrids (TMPx) and local landraces included in multilocational trials in sub-Saharan Africa. Virus-like symptom incidence in these multilocational trials was analyzed using the ad...

Quantitative variation for pollen stainability was examined in both tetraploid × diploid and tetraploid × tetraploid families of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). The diploid parents, which were highly heterozygous, produced first division restitution (FDR) 2n pollen. The families used were not affe...

Plantain and banana (Musa spp.) are integral components of the farming systems in the humid forest and mid-altitude ecologies of sub-saharan Africa. They provide more than 25% of the carbohydrates for approximately 70 million people in the region. Major constraints to plantain and banana producti...

The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising method for nematode control is the development and deployment of nematode-resistant banana cultivars. This requires the identification of sources of resistance, which can then b...

Potato cybrids result from the fusion between cytoplasm and nuclear gene donors. Such genetic materials are an alternative means to broaden the breeding pool by non‐sexual gene transfer. Tetrad pollen sterility provides also another source of male sterility with some potential for true potato see...

Yams (Dioscorea spp.) are important crops in some West African locations. The West African yam collections held at the IITA were characterized using the standard descriptor list for this crop (IPGRI/IITA. 1997. Descriptors for yam (Dioscorea spp.). International Institute of Tropical Agriculture,...

Triploid plantains (Musa AAB) are among the most important horticultural crops of West Africa. However, all landraces are susceptible to black Sigatoka, a fungal disease caused by Mycosphaerella fijiensis, Morelet. To ameliorate the spread of this epidemic, exotic triploid cooking bananas (ABB), ...

The aim of this research was to determine the genetic variation available in some important characteristics for true potato seed breeding in intermediate and advanced stages of a breeding population developed by the Centro Internacional de la Papa. A factorial mating design was used to calculate ...

The original variation in the source population as well as the selection method may influence the genetic variation in further cycles of genetic improvement. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to determine genetic parameters (variance components and heritability) in source and interm...
