Theses & Dissertations Open Access Enhancing genetic resistance to soybean rust disease M. Maphosa Soybean (Glycine max L.) is increasingly playing an important nutritive role in the food and feed industry in most countries. However, the crop is currently threatened by soybean rust disease (Phakopsora pachyrhizi). The rapid spread of so… RUF-35859 2013 CC BY 4.0 29 Jan 2016
Working Document Series Open Access Pyramiding Fusarium root rot resistance genes and validation of SSR PVBR87 in common bean P. Gibson · C. Mukankusi · J. Obala · P.R. Rubaihayo This study determined effectiveness of pyramided Fusarium root rot (FRR) resistance genes and validated association of SSR PVBR87 marker with FRR resistance in common bean. A double cross (DC) involving four resistance sources was used to … RUF-34514 2010 CC BY 4.0 25 Aug 2015
Working Document Series Open Access Enhancing genetic resistance to soybean rust disease R. Bandyopadhyay · M. Maphosa · C. Mukankusi · H. Talwana Soybean is an important crop worldwide with unrivalled protein quality and content. Sustenance of soybean productivity is, however, compromised by the devastating soybean rust disease caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi. Some resist… RUF-34472 2010 CC BY 4.0 21 Aug 2015
Working Document Series Open Access Enhancing resistance to angular leaf spot of common bean in Uganda G. Ddamulira · R. Edema · C. Mukankusi · G. Ochwo-Ssemakula +1 more Angular leaf spot (ALS) is an important disease of common bean in Uganda. The presence of resistance sources with narrow adaptability coupled with pathogen’s variability have greatly undermined previous breeding efforts leading to severe y… RUF-32461 2012 CC BY 4.0 16 May 2014
Working Document Series Open Access Assessing the Effectiveness of Pyramided Genes in Conferring Broad Resistance to Bean Anthracnose M. Kiryowa · C.M. Mukankusi · S.T. Nkalubo · H. Talwana +1 more Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is one of the most important constraints to common bean production in Uganda. The fungus is highly variable that single gene resistance alone is not adequate to offer effective and durable resistance among var… RUF-31530 2012 CC BY 4.0 6 Oct 2013
