Farmers reaping the benefits of groundnut farming in Tanzania
Over a period of 12 years (2007–2019), the Tropical Legumes projects led to the development of new, improved groundnut varieties, 11 of which were developed and released in Tanzania. During a project visit to farmers in Masasi, Tanzania, the farmers explained how they are now reaping huge benefits from the improved varieties.
Translational genomics for achieving higher genetic gains in groundnut
This article describes advances in translational genomics in the groundnut to facilitate faster trait dissection, gene discovery and accelerated genetic improvement for developing climate-smart varieties.
Haplotypes at the Phg-2 Locus Are Determining Pathotype-Specificity of Angular Leaf Spot Resistance in Common Bean

Diallel Analysis of Early Leaf Spot (Cercospora arachidicola Hori) Disease Resistance in Groundnut
This article describes a study conducted on diallel populations from six parents to assess the mode of inheritance of early leaf spot (ELS) resistance traits.
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.
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.
Agronomic qualities of genetic pyramids of common bean developed for multiple-disease-resistance
This study assesses the agronomic qualities of advanced genetic pyramids developed from a four-way cross for multiple disease resistance in common bean.
SSR markers associated to early leaf spot disease resistance through selective genotyping and single marker analysis in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
This study presents the results of crossing an ELS-susceptible genotype with an ELS-resistant genotype to carry out market-trait association analysis for groundnut
