(Makerrere University, 2009-03)
Bean common mosaic virus (BCMV) and bean common mosaic necrosis virus (BCMNV) are responsible for significant economic losses in bean production worldwide. Necrotic strains are more aggressive than the non-necrotic strains ...
A comparative analysis of conventional and marker-assisted selection methods in breeding maize streak virus resistance in maize.
(Crop Science Society of America, 2009)
Reliable information regarding comparative advantage of marker-assisted selection (MAS) over conventional selection (CS) in breeding for maize streak virus (MSV) resistance in maize (Zea mays L.) is scarcely available. A ...
Breeding values of selected cassava genotypes and utility of DNA markers linked to CMD2 LOCI
(Makerere University, 2007)
Selection of parental material in cassava breeding is mainly based on the performance per se with limited effort on progeny derived breeding values in the national program in Uganda. Besides, cassava is highly heterozygous, ...
