Evaluation of Different Fertilizer Sources for the Management of Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in the Southern Guinea savannah Agro-Ecological Zone of Nigeria
This study presents the results of field experiments conducted in Nigeria to evaluate how combinations of Farmyard Manure (FYM), Gypsum, Single superphosphate (SSP) and NPK fertilizers affected yield and aflatoxin contamination.
Variability and Correlations among Groundnut Populations for Early Leaf Spot, Pod Yield, and Agronomic Traits
This article presents the results of a study of the genetic variability and correlation of early leaf spot (ELS) resistance parameters and agro-morphological traits in groundnut.
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
Welfare impacts of improved chickpea adoption: A pathway for rural development in Ethiopia?
An analysis of the impact of improved chickpea in Ethiopia using three rounds of panel data: estimating determinants of adoption; estimating impact on household income and poverty; and disaggregating results by landholding.
Public sector soybean (Glycine max) breeding: Advances in cultivar development in the African tropics
A review providing highlights of the achievements made by IITA’s breeding program and insights into what needs to be done to enhance yield improvement for soybean in Africa using demand‐driven breeding approaches.
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata): Genetics, genomics and breeding
A review of the genetics, genomics, and breeding of cowpea. Reports on the search for QTLs related to desirable attributes such as drought tolerance, phosphorus use efficiency, and bacterial blight and virus resistance.
Determinants of groundnut rosette virus disease occurrence in Uganda
This study was aimed at establishing the factors influencing the occurrence of Groundnut Rosette Virus Disease in Uganda. Trials were established for three seasons in four groundnut growing locations situated in different agro-ecologies in Uganda.
Genomic Tools in Groundnut Breeding Program: Status and Perspectives
This article discusses the use of genomic tools to enhance genetic gains for target traits in groundnut.
QTL-seq for Rapid Identification of Candidate Genes for 100-seed Weight and root/total Plant Dry Weight Ratio Under Rainfed Conditions in Chickpea
Terminal drought is a major constraint to chickpea productivity. In this article, QTL-seq approach was used to identify candidate genomic regions for 100-seed weight (100SDW) and total dry root weight to total plant dry weight ratio (RTR) under rainfed conditions.
Drought Stress Responses in Soybean Roots and Nodules
The research presented in this journal article concludes that the direct screening of root and nodule traits in the field, as well as identification of genes, proteins and also metabolites involved in such traits, is essential to gain a better understanding of the regulation of root architecture, bacteroid development and lifespan in relation to drought tolerance in soybean.
