    Characterisation of a diverse set of maize germplasm for resistance to infection by Aspergillus flavus. 

    Kwemoi, Daniel Bomet (Makerere University, 2010)
    Sources of resistance to Aspergillus flavus and accumulation of aflatoxin in maize have been identified elsewhere but no such materials are currently available for use by the maize improvement programme in Uganda. The main ...

    Exploiting grain-filling rate and effective grain-filling duration to improve grain yield of early-maturing maize 

    Gasura, Edmore; Setimela, Peter; Edema, Richard; Gibson, Paul T.; Okori, Patrick; Tarekegne, Amsal (Crop Science Society of America, 2013)
    Early-maturing maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes yield 15 to 30% less than late-maturing genotypes. One strategy for improving grain yield in the early-maturing group involves assessment of grain-filling traits as secondary ...

    Variability of grain-filling traits in early maturing CIMMYT tropical maize inbred lines 

    Gasura, Edmore; Setimela, Peter S.; Tarekegne, Amsal; Icishahayo, David; Edema, Richard; Gibson, Paul T.; Okori, Patrick (Crop Science Society of America, 2014)
    Grain-filling rate (GFR), effective grain-filling duration (EGFD), and total grain-filling duration (TGFD) are important physiological traits of maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield (GY) formation. To devise effective breeding ...

    The effect of weather on crop yields: A case study of the maize crop in Masindi District Western Uganda. 

    Akullo, Teopista (Makerere University, 2014)
    Weather and crop yield is a crucial consideration for food security in Uganda. This study considered a relationship between weather and maize yield as an aid to emphasize the significance and need for weather information ...

    Agronomic performance and breeding potential of selected maize inbred lines for improvement of protein quality of adapted Ugandan germplasm 

    Kalule, Okello David (2008-12-15)
    The main objective of this study was to characterise selected QPM inbred lines obtained from CIMMYT under Ugandan conditions. Agronomic performance and combining abilities were determined to assess the breeding potential ...

    Evaluation of the usefulness criterion to identify Bi-Parental maize populations with the best potential for producing superior inbreds. 

    Nizeyimana, Fidele (Makerere University, 2014)
    Because resources are obviously restricted, it is not possible to advance all the progenies generated to later generations, so there is need to reduce the number of populations that will be subject to intensive testing and ...

    Analysis of the impact of the agricultural productivity enhancement program on the technical and allocative efficiency of maize farmers in Masindi District 

    Kibirige, Douglas (2008-09)
    The Agricultural Productivity Enhancement Program (APEP) was established in Uganda in 2003 by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The program mainly aimed at transforming agriculture from low ...

    Safety assessment of cystatins used to control pests in transgenic bananas in Uganda. 

    Matovu, Moses (Makerere University, 2009)
    In this study the safety of the maize and papaya cystatins used to controls nematodes and banana weevil borer was assessed by determining the allergenicity and toxicity of the proteins using both in vitro as well as the ...

    Reaction of waxy and opaque-2 inbreds and their derived progenies to multiple foliar diseases of maize in Uganda 

    Bombom, Alexander; Okori, Patrick; Gibson, Paul; Edema, Richard; Asea, Godfrey; Rubaihayo, Patrick (Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2012)
    Specialty maize lines possessing important endosperm genes waxy and/or opaque-2 enhance processing and nutritional qualities of the grain. However, production and utilization of specialty maize varieties for food, feeds ...

    Feasibilty of zein proteins, simple sequence repeats and phenotypic traits for background selection in quality protein maize breeding 

    Maphosa, M.; Oballim, G.; Nalukenge, A.; Edema, R.; Okori, P. (African Crop Science Society, 2011)
    Widespread adoption of quality protein maize (QPM), especially among tropical farming systems has been slow mainly due to the slow process of generating varieties with acceptable kernel quality and adaptability to different ...
