A substantial impact on Africa agriculture can be made through research on crop improvement for the extensive inland valley agro-ecosystems (IVS) extending from the humid forest to the savanna zones in sub saharan Africa. Systematic surveys of farmers have shown that cassava is a favoured upland ...

Cassava flour from 12 clones was baked into bread loaves at 10, 20, 30, and 40% substitution. Loaves were rated according to volume, color and character of crust, texture and grain, crumb color, and taste. Total scores of all quality parameters measured for each clone decreased as the amount of c...

The Musa germplasm bank established in Colombia has accessions tolerant to Yellow Sigatoka and is located at over 1310 meters above sea level. This germplasm has been characterized using morphological descriptors. However it is has been difficult to identify some accessions due to mutations and e...

In order to characterise the D17MIT16 BAC DNA clone which is part of a 1200 kilobase DNA insert believed to contain mouse trypanotolerance genes, restriction endonucleases were used to digest the insert for restriction mapping, identification of DNA markers, sub cloning and sequencing. The D17MIT...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the performance of advanced potato clones at high hills of Nepal during 2013-2014. Eight advanced potato clones were evaluated with locally adapted variety ‘Lady Rosita’ at Nigaley Farm of Sindhupalchowk and farmers’ field of Dolakha, as an on-station ...

Enset cultivation in southern and south-western Ethiopia is practiced mainly in densely populated areas. A survey covering 280 farm households and seven districts was conducted in seven zones of southern Ethiopia with the main objective of assessing the diversity and distribution of enset clones....
