Phaseolus beans are distributed worldwide and are cultivated in the tropics, subtropics, and temperate zones. The common bean is the most important grain legume for direct human consumption in the world. The objectives of this study were to isolate microsatellite repeats and to establish their di...

Coevolution of the angular leaf spot pathogen, Phaeoisariopsis griseola, with its common bean host has been demonstrated, and P. griseola isolates have been divided into Andean and Mesoamerican groups that correspond to defined bean gene pools. Recent characterization of P. griseola isolates from...

Low soil P availability is a primary constraint to common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in Latin America and Africa. Substantial genotypic variation in bean adaptation to low phosphorus (LP) availability has been linked with root traits that enhance the efficiency of soil foraging. The ...

Tithonia diversifolia (Mexican sunflower) is a shrub commonly used as a green manure crop in Central and South America, Asia and Africa as it accumulates high levels of phosphorus and other nutrients, even in depleted soils. In root samples collected from the global distribution of Tithonia, we e...
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) probes were used to characterize trypanosomes from cattle in Morogoro region of Tanzania. Blood samples collected from 390 beef and dairy cattle in selected farms in Morogoro region were examined for presence of trypanosomes using th...

Teneral tsetse flies infected with either Trvpanosoma brucei or T. vivax were fed on healthy cattle. Blood samples collected daily from the cattle were examined by microscopy for the presence of trypanosomes, in thick smear, thin smear and in the buffy coat (BC). All the cattle fed upon by infect...

Cassava bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis, is of significant concern wherever cassava is grown. The movement of infected, asymptomatic stems is a major means of pathogen dispersal. A reliable and sensitive diagnostic procedure is necessary for the safe movement of c...
