Banana has long been considered intractable to genetic improvement as only landraces are cultivated despite 75 years of breeding endeavors. However, recent advances in several breeding programs have demonstrated that development of improved germplasm through conventional cross-breeding may eventu...

Genetic enhancement of plantain (Musa spp. L., AAB group) has aimed at producing hybrids with high yield, short stature, early maturity, fast crop cycling, and disease resistance. Two tetraploid clones derived from the plantain landrace ‘Bobby Tannap’ (BT) and ‘Obino l’Ewai’ (OL) were crossed to ...

Fusarium stalk rot is one of the most widespread and destructive diseases of maize, and deployment of resistant genotypes is one of the most effective strategies for controlling the disease. Fifty inbred lines and four checks from the breeding program of the International Institute of Tropical Ag...

Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth is an obligate root parasite infecting maize (Zea mays L.) and causing considerable yield losses in Africa. Few studies have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of recurrent selection for improving resistance to S. hermonthica in maize. The objective of t...

Earlier this year, South Sudan fell victim to the first famine declared since 2011. Almost six million people are still at risk of starvation. Over 1 million displaced Sudanese are migrating to neighbouring northern Uganda, where they stay in camps for internally displaced people fleeing conflict...

The West and Central Africa Collaborative Maize Research Network (WECAMAN) was established in 1987 to strengthen the capacity and capability of national programmes of West and Central Africa (WCA) to tackle regional constraints to maize production. The Network created several mechanisms for imple...
