Diversity and potential of nematodes associated with bacteria for bio-control of insect pests in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2011-07)
A significant number of nematodes are associated with bacteria. These nematodes live mainly in the soil where they feed on bacteria and other soil organisms. They play commensal, obligate parasitism and pathogenesis ...
Genetic diversity and differentiation of Ankole cattle populations in Uganda inferred from microsatellite data
(Elsevier, 2011-01-05)
A total of 304 individuals from eight Ankole cattle populations of Uganda were analysed based on 19 microsatellite markers to investigate genetic diversity, relationships and population structure. Across all loci, 200 ...

Diversity of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris l) germplasm in Uganda.
(Makerere University, 2013-11)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris (L.) is a diploid, self-pollinated species with 2n = 2x = 22 chromosomes and the most important legume grown in Uganda. A large collection of 320 common bean accessions obtained from different ...
Pathogenic variation of colletotrichum lindemuthianum causing anthracnose of beans (phaseolus vulgaris) in Uganda
(ESci Journals, 2016-01)
Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is a highly variable pathogen of common beans that easily overcomes resistance in cultivars bred with single-gene resistance. To determine pathogenic variability of the pathogen in Uganda, ...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is a multi-purpose crop ranked fifth as the World’s major cereal after Maize, Wheat, Rice and Barley in terms of worldwide production and acreage. In Uganda, it is the third most ...
Pathogenic and genetic diversity of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.Manihotis in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019-09-05)
Cassava bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis, is the most destructive bacterial disease of cassava owing to its negative effects on yield and quality of planting materials. Thus, in order ...
The influence of land cover change on woody floristics in West Bugwe Central Forest Reserve,Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019-11)
Forests play important roles in conserving biodiversity because they provide habitats to almost half of the terrestrial plant and animal species. However, forests are disappearing due to land cover conversions, and this ...
