Factors affecting adoption of improved sorghum varieties in Tanzania under information and capital constraints
Low adoption of agricultural technology is among the main reasons for low farm
productivity and high incidence of poverty and food insecurity in sub-Saharan
countries including Tanzania. In this study, we examine the factors ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci of Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Leaf Spots in a Recombinant Inbred Line Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) from SunOleic 97R and NC94022
Peanut is vulnerable to a range of diseases, such as Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and
leaf spots which will cause significant yield loss. The most sustainable, economical and
eco-friendly solution for managing peanut ...
Genome wide transcriptome profiling of Fusarium oxysporum f sp. ciceris conidial germination reveals new insights into infection-related genes
Vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc) is a serious disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) accounting for approximately 10–15% annual crop loss. The fungus invades the plant via roots, colonizes ...
Response of groundnut to plant density and phosphorous application in the Sudan savanna zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
Comparative genomics and prediction of conditionally dispensable sequences in legume–infecting Fusarium oxysporum formae speciales facilitates identification of candidate effectors
Background
Soil-borne fungi of the Fusarium oxysporum species complex cause devastating wilt disease on many crops including legumes that supply human dietary protein needs across many parts of the globe. We present and ...
An update on the host plant resistance to pigeonpea diseases
The production and productivity
of pigeonpea is severely constrained by
diseases such as Fusarium wilt, sterility
mosaic disease and Phytophthora blight.
These diseases can be serious alone or as
component of complex. ...
Correlations, Path Coefficient Analysis and Heritability for Quantitative Traits in Finger Millet Landraces
Knowledge of association between traits and heritability is important in breeding for purposes of effective trait selection. Such information on finger millet in east Africa is very limited. This study was intended to ...
Pigeonpea breeding in eastern and southern Africa: challenges and opportunities
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millspaugh) is an important multipurpose grain legume crop primarily grown in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In Africa, the crop is grown for several purposes ...
Anticlastogenic potential of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in white mice (Mus musculus L.)
This study investigated the anticlastogenic potential of International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) bred pigeonpea utilizing the micronucleus test using white mice models to determine the number ...
Gene action and combining ability estimates using cytoplasmic-genic male sterile lines to develop pigeonpea hybrids for rainfed condition
Pigeonpea is the major source of vegetable protein in
Indian diet. About 72.5 percent area and 62.5 production of
world’s pigeonpea is in India.Pigeonpea is the only food legume
where cytoplasmic-genic male sterility is ...
