Registration of ‘Serenut 6T’ Groundnut
This article describes the characteristics of ’Serenut 6T’ (Reg. No. CV‐136, PI 682726), a high‐yielding, Spanish‐type groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L. subsp. fastigiata var. vulgaris ) with two seeds per pod. Serenut 6T was released in 2010 by the National Semi‐Arid Resources Research Institute, Soroti, Uganda.
Assessing the effect of the farmers’ practices on the severity of groundnut rosette virus disease in Uganda
This study assessed the effect of farmers’ practices on the severity patterns of groundnut rosette virus disease (GRVD) in Uganda. A survey was conducted within five agro-ecological zones in Uganda to obtain information on the various practices that farmers use in the management of groundnut and GRVD in their fields.
Regeneration procedure for three Arachis hypogaea L. botanicals in Uganda through Embryogenesis
This study explored the use of mature embryo axes as explants for somatic embryogenesis and determined the factors that affect regeneration of three Ugandan groundnut cultivars: Acholi white (Valencia botanical), Serenut 4T (Spanish botanical), and Serenut 1R (Virginia botanical).
Groundnut rosette disease symptoms, types, distribution and management of the disease in Uganda
This study documents the findings of a nationwide survey in 2012 and 2013 covering 23 districts in Uganda. The surveys ascertained the predominant GRD symptom types, GRD incidences and severity, farmers’ knowledge and their GRD coping mechanisms, the current groundnut seed system and farming practices.
Genetics of resistance to Groundnut Rosette Virus disease
This study was conducted to better understand the genetics of inheritance of resistance to Groundnut Rosette Virus disease.
Overview of groundnut research in Uganda: past, present and future
This study provides an overview of research undertaken by the groundnut department at the National Semi-Arid Research Resources Institute (NaSARRI) which targets cultivar development, maintenance and conservation through germplasm collection, characterization, evaluation, breeding, maintenance and the generation of appropriate crop management technologies for sustained production.
