Efficiency of molecular markers to select for Striga gesneroides resistance in cowpea
In this study four molecular markers developed for selecting Striga resistant cowpea were used to genotype a F2 population derived from a cross between Borno Brown and T97K-499-35.
Training manual on ‘Trade negotiation, marketing, contracting and seed business management’ for small and medium scale seed enterprise managers
This paper presents several insights into international and local institutions for seed trade promotion and advertising, and seed import and export procedures. It also provides a guide to facilitate participation in agricultural fairs and exhibitions.
A farmer’s guide to profitable groundnut production
This handbook provides an effective guide for farmers on groundnut crop production and general management best practices in Nigeria and its neighboring countries.
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).
Genetic variability studies of Valencia groundnut varieties for late leaf spot (Phaeoisariopsis personata) resistance
The study was initiated to determine the genetic variability of late leaf spot (LLS) resistance among segregating generations of Valencia groundnut varieties. Crosses were made between NuMex-M3 × ICGV-SM 02501, Valencia C × ICGV-SM 02501, Redbeauty × ICGV-SM 03590 and Valencia C × SGV-07009 parental lines.
Identification of quantitative trait loci for yield and yield related traits of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under different water regimes in Niger and Senegal
This study used a recombinant inbred line mapping population (TAG 24 × ICGV 86031) to identify markers associated with quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield and yield-related traits at two important locations in West Africa under well-watered and water stress conditions.
Evaluation of Multiple Stress Tolerant Groundnut Genotypes for Productivity and Nutritional Quality in Nigeria
This abstract assesses the results of an evaluation of 541 advanced breeding lines, along with local landraces and improved varieties. The evaluation assessed reactions to drought, rosette and foliar diseases.
Farm level adoption and spatial diffusion of improved common bean varieties in Southern Highlands of Tanzania
The findings of this research show that improved common bean varieties have extensively diffused in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania, with new improved bean varieties replacing old ones.
Prevalence and distribution of aflatoxin contamination in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in Mali, West Africa
This review analyzes the prevalence and distribution of aflatoxins in the groundnut value chain in Mali and suggests timely interventions that can help to minimize health-related hazards and exposure to aflatoxin contaminated food.
