Isolation and sequence analysis of DREB2A homologues in three cereal and two legume species
The transcription factor, DREB2A, is one of the promising candidate genes involved in dehydration tolerance in crop plants. In order to isolate DREB2A homologues across cereals (rice, barley and sorghum) and legumes (common ...
Iron, Vitamin C, Phenolic and Phytic acid Concentration of Biofortified Potatoes as Affected by Location
The effect of growing location on concentrations of iron, zinc, vitamin C, phenolics, phytic acid and glycoalkaloids of six iron biofortified potato clones and two potato varieties was determined.
Significant variation ...
On-farm evaluation and demonstration of animal drawn mouldboard and Gavin ploughs
The study reported in this book chapter was undertaken to evaluate technical performance of the mouldboard and Gavin ploughs against the traditional plough; to evaluate the impact of zero-tillage as against conventional ...

Performance of the sheep breeders' cooperatives in Ethiopia
Ethiopia priority country project is a 3-year project designed to consolidate the individual pilot
interventions CRP research has been implementing since 2012 and translate that into a pilot
integrated package. The project ...
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)Project: Below-ground cassava root phenotyping
IITA and IDS GeoRadar are partnering to develop a grand penetrating radar tool that will be useful for non-destructive estimation of cassava root yield as a high throughput phenotyping tool. The project is funded by the ...
Estimating soil erosion in sub-Saharan Africa based on landscape similarity mapping and using the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE)
Soil erosion is one of the major forms of land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with serious impact on agricultural productivity. Due to the absence of reliable data at appropriate resolution and differences in the ...
Cassava Waxing Technology Use, Marketing, Consumption and Actors' Roles along the Value Chain In Uganda (12660)
Increasing availability, utilization, and incomes from cassava production and marketing by increasing the period during which fresh roots can be marketed while retaining the desired quality
