Performance of Groundnut Genotypes under Millet Based Intercropping Systems in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
The productivity of two spatial arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was studied in the Sudan savanna of Nigeria during the 2014 rainy at three locations.
Response of Groundnut to Plant Density and Phosphorous Application in the Sudan Savanna Zone of Nigeria
The research findings presented in this article suggest that cultivating improved groundnut varieties at a high plant density with the application of phosphorus application can ensure that groundnut production becomes a profitable venture in the Sudan Savanna zone of Nigeria.
Emerging genomic tools for legume breeding: Current status and future prospects
An overview of emerging genomics and informatics tools/approaches that will be the key driving force for accelerating genomics-assisted breeding of legumes, ultimately ensuring nutritional and food security in developing 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.
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.
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.
