Insect pests often develop resistance to insecticides, and such resistance represents a serious management problem. Devising methods that concurrently delay resistance and minimize injury by insects to field crops and stored grain has long been a goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). A center...

IPM-omics: from genomics to extension for integrated pest management of cowpea
In a bid to fast-track the process of selection of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genotypes resistant to the cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses, a number of molecular markers have been developed to map resistance genes. The simple sequence repeat (SSR) ...

Progress is being made at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture to develop molecular tools for marker-assisted selection that would complement and expedite conventional breeding approaches for genetic improvement of yams (Dioscorea spp.). F mapping populations 1 were developed from ...

Parasitic diseases cause serious illness and often death in human populations and domestic livestock, particularly in the tropics. These include malaria, trypanosomiasis and tick-borne diseases. Important recent developments in the fields of immunology, biochemistry and molecular biology might ma...
