Genome-wide association study of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei) resistance in a world collection of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Stripe rust (Puccicina striiformis f.sp. hordei) (PSH) is one of the major diseases that causes significant yield losses of barley (Hordeium vulgare L.) worldwide. Frequent breakdown of resistance genes and emergence of ...
Evaluation of local and introduced soybean varieties for response to soybean rust pathogen across soybean production ecologies of east and southern Africa
Soybean rust, caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi has emerged as a major threat to
soybean production in Africa due to its rapid spread across the continent, as spores can
easily be dispersed by winds. Control has mainly been ...
Effect of triple-layer hermetic bagging on mould infection and aflatoxin contamination of maize during multi-month on-farm storage in Kenya
Field trials were conducted in small-scale farmers' grain stores in an aflatoxin endemic region to assess
the effect of storing maize in triple layer hermetic (PICS™) bags on aflatoxin contamination. Shelled
maize grain ...
Review Meeting Dryland Cereals Phase 1 and Extension Gender Phase
The DC Gender Strategy identified, in 2013, the gender gap - differences among men andwomen in a range of areas. (1) ownership and use rights over resources including land, water and livestock, (2) capacity to capture ...
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) of spot blotch resistance at the seedling and the adult plant stages in a collection of spring barley
Spot blotch (SB) in barley is caused by the fungal pathogen Cochliobolus sativus and considered one of the major constraints to successful barley production. Resistance to C. sativus was evaluated, using a barley collection ...
Rangeland rehabilitation in the southern part of the Mediterranean basin
Rangelands of the southern part of the Mediterranean basin have for centuries provided forage for livestock and wildlife. Now their role as providers of ecosystem services and goods is being widely recognized by local ...
