Vigna vexillata is a wild cross-incompatible relative of cowpea. It is highly resistant to several diseases and pests plaguing cowpea. A linkage map was developed for V. vexillata comprising 120 markers, including 70 random amplified polymorphic DNAs, 47 amplified fragment length polymorphisms, o...

Experiments were carried out in the greenhouse and field of the Department of Crop Protection andEnvironmental Biology, University of Ibadan and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA)to screen crops for resistance/susceptibility to the yam nematode Scutellonema bradys. The sev...

A study to examine variability in susceptibility of yams to Scutellonema bradys and to identify possible sources of resistance in Ghanaian yam germplasm (Dioscorea spp.) for use in yam improvement programmes, particularly, in West Africa was undertaken. Pot and field screening methodologies were ...

Anthracnose and virus diseases exert devastating impacts on yam production in many tropical regions of the world where the crop contributes to food security and income generation. The complexities in their epidemiology necessitate the use of integrated approaches in their management. Six genotype...

The cassava mosaic virus disease (CMD) is the most important disease o1'cassava in Africa, causing severe economic losses. The genetic stock, clone 58308, has been extensively used in breeding for resistance to the disease, but recently, other sources o1'resistance to the disease have been identi...

Striga hermonthica parasitism is a major constraint limiting Sorghum productivity in the Nigerian savanna. Field experiments were conducted in 2005 and 2006 rainy seasons to evaluate the response of sorghum varieties to striga infestation. A randomised complete block design was used to screen 12 ...

Aspects related to breeding programs in cassava, the impact of past strategies and exptl results related to them are discussed. Even though sources of resistance have been identified for the majority of the diseases and pests, in addition to tolerance to adverse edaphic and climatic factors, it i...

Despite the advantages of root crops as important staple food crops in the tropics, research and development of such crops has been neglected. There is, therefore, the need for production, processing and utilization techniques to be developed, evaluated and made available to farmers. However, bec...
