Africa is one of the secondary centers of diversity for the genus Musa. There is a wide range of genetic diversity in the bananas found in the continent with different types dominating different ecological sub-regions. Banana production in Africa is affected by a number of diseases and pests. The...

An experiment was conducted on an Ultisol at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) High Rainfall Station, Onne, in the humid forest zone of south-eastern Nigeria. The objective of the study was to define groups of multipurpose trees using multiple variables to select material...

Selected lines of Stylosanthes guianensis, S scabra, S. capitata and S. macrocephala were established at field sites at Planaltina and Campo Grande in Brazil and at Carimagua and Caquetá in Colombia. Weather conditions at each site were monitored continuously using an automatic weather station. D...

Root rot severely constrains bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in parts of Western Kenya. Genetic and soil management options were evaluated for an integrated root rot management approach. Four hundred genotypes were progressively screened in the field for resistance to root not over six se...

Cassava is one of the main carbohydrate sources in the tropics, and it has worldwide importance as basic food for millions of persons in America and Africa. This root crop is affected by cassava frog skin disease that in Colombia produces yield losses of almost 90%. A phytoplasma was associated w...

Studies on the seed transmission of Xanthomonas campestris PV phaseoli check for this species in other resources (XCP) that cause common and fuscous blight of beans were conducted in Uganda. Bean seed was the main source of primary inoculum. The population of XCP in farmers', commercial and rese...

The application of biotechnology tools has made it possible to make significant advances in the detection of pathogens and in the study of the genetic variability of pathogen populations. As a result, adequate disease management strategies can be planned, and disease resistance markers for plants...

Panicle blight of rice, caused by Burkholderia glumae, has been a serious problem on rice in Japan since 1955. It has been reported from other rice-producing countries around the world and recently was reported on rice in the southern United States (2). A rice producer in Panama contacted us to v...

Breeding for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses of global importance in common bean is reviewed with emphasis on development and application of marker-assisted selection (MAS). The implementation and adoption of MAS in breeding for disease resistance is advanced compared to the implementat...
