The cassava diseases of major economic importance in Africa are cassava mosaic, bacterial blight, and anthracnose, and the major cassava pests are cassava mealybug and green spider mite. Methods of screening cassava breeding material for resistance to the diseases and pests in the light of factor...

Bananas and plantains are both important staple foods and cash crops for millions of people. Bananas are large perennial herbs of the genus Musa. Cultivated bananas are primarily triploids (3x) derived from intraspecific and interspecific crosses of two diploid species Musa acuminata Colla (Ma.) ...

Crop wild relatives native to the United States have proved useful as genetic resources in breeding more productive, nutritious, and resilient crops. Their utilization is expected to increase with better information about the species and improving breeding tools. But this utilization may be const...

Multilocation evaluation trials (MET) constitute an important step in the evaluation of breeding lines, in order to assess their adaptation and stability patterns across environments, and to ensure optimal targeting of the lines. Seven Musa genotypes comprising five plantain hybrids, one cooking ...

Biotic constraints (insects, diseases, parasitic weeds) and abiotic stresses (drought) are widespread and pose a constant threat to maize production worldwide. Tropical environments provide the greatest opportunity for evolution of insects and diseases because of the favourable year- round climat...

A major objective of breeding at the Sweetpotato Support Platform for West Africa in Ghana, is the development of non-sweet cultivars suitable for use as staple foods, or in fried and other processed products. This priority was set during stakeholder consultations when establishing the program, a...
