The objective of the research was to study the genetics of host plant resistance toRadopholus similisin a diploid bananapopulation. Screening of a hybrid population and determination of the segregation ratios can provide information on the inheritanceand number of alleles controlling this trait i...

Host plant resistance to Radopholus similis in a diploid banana hybrid population
Pests and diseases have become major constraints to smallholder banana production in the highlands of East Africa. Biotic challenges to banana cultivation include fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes and insects. Host-plant resistance, developed either by conventional breeding or by application of...

The role of crop improvement in pest and disease management
The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising way of controlling nematodes is through the development and deployment of resistant cultivars. This usually involves crossing triploid cultivars with fertile diploids to produce...
