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.
Post-Harvest Management of Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut
This review reports the extent of post-harvest aflatoxin contamination along the groundnut value chain in Mali and highlights different management tools for reducing losses.
Assessing the genetic diversity of 48 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes in the Guinea savanna agro-ecology of Ghana, using microsatellite-based markers
By demonstrating that SSR-based markers are discriminatory in discerning variations between and among groundnut lines even where the level of variation was low, this study suggests that microsatellite-based markers represent a useful tool for dissecting genetic variations in cultivated crops, especially groundnut.
