An experiment was conducted to study the performance of nine genotypes of potato under hill zone of Karnataka. Among nine genotypes, maximum tuber sprout percentage was observed in Kufri Jyoti (100) followed by TT7011 (98.75) and least percentage was in C-28 (89.16). Kufri Jyoti performed better ...

The concentration of African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in relation to symptom severity among resistant, moderately resistant and susceptible cassava genotypes. Resistant genotype NR 8083 had significantly lower symptom severity scores (P < 0·05)...

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of some root - promoting substances on rooting andmini tuber formation using vine cuttings obtained from two genotypes (TDr 335 and TDr 93 - 49) of whiteyam (D. rotundata). The ashes were obtained from rice straw, bamboo, Gliricidia sepium, dry leav...

A study was conducted at six sites of Kenya Coastal region to evaluate candidate maize genotypes for inclusion in stem borer IPM package for the area. Stem borer infestation/damage during the trial period were rather low but nonetheless, significant differences were observed between the insectici...

Spatial arrangement of crops is critical in determining the growth and yield of lower crops in intercropping. The productivity of two spatial
arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was studied in the Sudan savanna of Nigeria during 2014 rainy season at Wasai (5ˈN, 08o62ˈE) in Minjibir ...

A common molecular variant of the angiotensinogen gene had been reported to predispose some ethnic groups to hypertension. This case–control study was designed to determine the frequency and association of the angiotensinogen M235T allele with hypertension in residents of Calabar and Uyo cities, ...

Knowledge of the mode of inheritance of a trait can be a powerful decision-making tool in a breeding program, as
it helps predicting selection gain, defining breeding strategy and choosing parental lines. This study aimed at
estimating genetic parameters to infer the mode of inheritance of promis...

Bananas (Musa spp.), including dessert and cooking types, are of major importance in the tropics. Due to extremely high levels of sterility, the diversity of cultivated bananas is fixed over long periods of time to the existing genotypes. This pattern puts banana-based agrosystems at risk. Theref...
