This article presents the results of a study to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying drought tolerance in common bean.
Haplotypes at the Phg-2 Locus Are Determining Pathotype-Specificity of Angular Leaf Spot Resistance in Common Bean
This article reports on ALS resistance evaluations of 316 bean lines under greenhouse and field conditions at multiple sites in Colombia and Uganda.
Tropical Legumes III: Final Report
Final report to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on the achievements of the Tropical Legumes III project, which ran from 2015 to 2019. Note, some financial details have been redacted.
A review of angular leaf spot resistance in common bean
A comprehensive review of angular leaf spot resistance in common bean, including three case studies of resistance breeding in Latin America and Africa.
Bridging the gap: Decomposing sources of gender yield gaps in Uganda groundnut production
A study investigating the underlying causes of a gender yield gap in groundnut production, based on survey data from 228 farm households from two groundnut growing regions in Uganda.
Identification of QTL associated with drought tolerance in Andean common bean
A report from a QTL analysis of drought tolerance in a recombinant inbred line mapping population developed from two Andean bean genotypes and evaluated at two locations in Uganda for two seasons under drought stress and non-stress conditions.
Adoption of high-yielding groundnut varieties: the sustainability of a farmer-led multiplication-dissemination program in Eastern Uganda
This study examines the adoption of high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of groundnut by smallholders in eastern Uganda. The primary focus of this work is the analysis of the sustainability of impacts from a regional farmer-led HYV dissemination and multiplication program
Identification of common bean genotypes with dual leaf and pod resistance to common bacterial blight disease in Uganda
This study seeks to identify common bean lines with combined leaf and pod resistance to Common Bacterial Blight (CBB) for introgression into locally adapted but susceptible Ugandan genotypes.
Genomics, genetics and breeding of tropical legumes for better livelihoods of smallholder farmers
A review of a decade of significant research and development work on important grain legumes through collaborative bilateral and multilateral projects as well as the CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes.
Genomics, genetics and breeding of common bean in Africa: A review of tropical legume project
A review of work by CIAT and its national partners in Africa to overcome production constraints of common bean and address food and nutrition needs and market demands through development of multitrait bean varieties.
