Conduct Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) trials of promising varieties across target agroecologies in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya
PVS trials were established and evaluated in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. In Tanzania for example, six varieties advanced from HOPE 1 were evaluated in 4 districts, each district with 15 trials. All the six candidate ...
Pest risk analysis on Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, causative organism of Xanthomonas wilt on banana, on plants-for-planting
Recognising that Xanthomas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm), causal agent of Xanthomons wilt (Xw) of banana, is endemic to the Great Lakes region, the Pest Risk Analysis(PRA) considers the justification for implementing ...
What role for legumes in sustainable intensification? – case studies in Western Kenya and Northern Ghana for PROIntensAfrica
N2Africa was selected as a case study within the PROIntensAfrica initiative. In this case study, N2Africa focused on the potential role of legumes in sustainable intensification. The case study was conducted in two of the ...
Pest Risk Analysis for Prodiplosis longifila
Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) includes three stages: initiation, pest risk assessment and pest risk management. Initiating the PRA process involves identifying pests and pathways of concern and defining the PRA area. Pest risk ...
Pest Risk Analysis for Tuta absoluta
Tuta absoluta is a devastating pest not only for tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) production but also for potato (Solanum tuberosum). In tomato most feeding damage is done to the leaves and stems of tomatoes. Larvae ...
Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
Pest risk analysis for Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum
Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) is the causative pathogen for banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW). Commonly known as Xanthomonas wilt, it was reported first in Ethiopia on enset and later observed on banana in Uganda, ...
RNA-seq based transcriptome profiling, identification and validation of heat stress responsive genes in chickpea
Six contrasting heat responsive (tolerant - ICCV 92944, ICC 1356, ICC 15614 and sensitive - ICC 5912, ICC 4567, ICC 10685) genotypes were selected for the study. Heat stress was imposed using growth chamber facility, ...
Construction of Saturated Genetic Map
The first version of genetic map was constructed using the T-population (Tifrunner × GT-C20) with 239 mapped loci which was then improved to 378 marker loci. In the present study, genotyping data was generated for additional ...
Identification and Training of Smallholder seed producers
Efficient farmer groups with a biases on women headed, were chosen to produce QDS or community based seed. Representatives from the groups together with other progressive farmers were then selected and trained on the ...
