Maize (Zea mays L.) landraces in the northern Guinea savanna and Sudan savanna in West and Central Africa appear to have some drought-adaptive traits. This study was initiated to assess the level of improvement in yield potential and other agronomic traits achieved under drought stress (DS) and i...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) germ plasm accession G 2333 (Colorado de Teopisca) from Mexico was resistant to 380 isolates of the anthracnose pathogen (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) from 11 Latin American countries. Six frequently used sources of resistance were susceptiblc to many isolates. ...

Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. phaseoli caused growers to abandon the most popular climbing bean cultivar, Umubano (G2333) in Rwanda. The present objective was to determine the nature of inheritance of fusarium wilt resistance and recommend a breeding strategy to introduce res...

The backcrossing method is the most appropriate to incorporate resistance to BCMV, anthracnose, and halo blight without affecting snap bean quality. When improvement is less specific and includes characteristics such as plant adaptation, yield, and stand, it is possible to use the reccurrent scre...
El metodo de retrocruzamiento es el mas apropiado para incorporar resistencia a BCMV, antracnosis y anublo de halo sin alterar la calidad de la habichuela. Cuando el mejoramiento es menos especifico e incluye caracteristicas como adaptacion, rendimiento y porte de la planta se puede utilizar el m...

Nineteen early maturing, indeterminate common bean parents were crossed with a tester line of normal maturity. All parents, F1 hybrids, F2's, and backcross generations were evaluated at CIAT-Palmira, Colombia. All 19F1 populations flowered and matured almost as early as the respective early paren...

Six F1 Dorper (D) x Red Maasai (R) rams were mated to both D and R ewes to produce backcross lambs. These six double backcross resource families are being analysed to identify quantitative trait loci that may be controlling resistance to gastro-intestinal (GI) nematode parasites, mainly Haemonchu...

Methods used to identify BCMV are described in terms of symptomatology (common mosaic, black root); transmission (seed, insect, manual); responses of differential bean cv. (mosaic, systemic or local necrosis, local lesions, immunity); cytology (light and electron microscopy); purification and ser...
