GI nematodes are most commonly controlled by chemotherapy. Anthelmintic efficacy is decreasing as drug resistance becomes widespread and other approaches are needed. Knowledge of protective immunity against GI parasites is important for the development of vaccine strategies. Success in this field...

Nine yellow root and one white root cassava genotypes were evaluated in ten environments in Ghana for the variability of their beta carotene content in root. The aim was to identify cassava genotypes that have high beta carotene content in storage root to combat the widespread vitamin A deficienc...

Clonal propagation of fruits, flowers, and forest trees leads to high levels of heterozygosity, fixes favorable combinations of traits, eliminates undesirable deleterious effects, allows easy identification, propagation of favorable mutations, and is an efficient method for in vitro and ex vitro ...

Opportunities and challenges to implementing genomic selection in clonally propagated crops.
Breeding efforts for genetic improvement of banana and plantain have gradually shifted from individual trait selection to simultaneous improvement of several traits, following an ideotype concept. Therefore, information on the phenotypic and genetic association among these traits, and the influen...
Les efforts d'amélioration génétique du bananier et du bananier-plantain ont graduellement passé de la sélection de caractères individuels à celle simultanée de plusieurs caractères, suivant un concept d'idéotype. Ainsi, il devenu est important pour le sélectionneur Musa de connaître le degré d'a...

Genetic variance, heritability, and expected response from selection are useful in devising alternative methods and criteria of selection. The objectives of this study were to estimate these for seed yield and its components from 200 F2 populations involving 80 cultivars and lines of mostly small...

Knowledge of the mode of inheritance of a trait can be a powerful decision-making tool in a breeding program, as
it helps predicting selection gain, defining breeding strategy and choosing parental lines. This study aimed at
estimating genetic parameters to infer the mode of inheritance of promis...

Flower bud thrips, Megalurothrips sjostedti is the most severe field pest of cowpea that causes massive flower abortion which eventually results to substantial yield reduction in Africa. There is paucity of information on the mode of gene actions controlling inheritance of resistance to flower bu...
