Working Document Series Open Access In-vitro techniques for elimination of viruses causing cassava mosaic disease and cassava brown streak disease G. Nakabonge · J.B. Okori Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) are the two most important viral diseases affecting cassava (Manihot esculenta) production in Uganda. The two diseases persist in the plant system causing yield losses an… RUF-36958 2016 CC BY 4.0 15 Sep 2017
Working Document Series Open Access Genetic effects of inbreeding on harvest index and root dry matter content in cassava M. Ferguson · L. Herselman · R.S. Kawuki · M.T. Labuschagne +1 more Inbreeding of predominantly cross-pollinating crops is expected to result in progeny with reduced fitness and or improved phenotypes. The effects of inbreeding in cassava are not well quantified. Accordingly, in this exploratory study, S1 … RUF-34468 2010 CC BY 4.0 21 Aug 2015
Working Document Series Open Access Diversity assessment of cassava mutants, hybrids and landraces using morphological markers E. E. Arunga · M. Chelulei · E. Chepkoech · S. Kimno +2 more Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a very important crop in terms of adaptability to various micro-environments, flexibility in management, returns, and multiple uses as food and in various industries. Knowledge of levels of genetic variation … RUF-33871 2014 CC BY 4.0 11 Aug 2015
Journal articles Open Access Genetic Diversity among Farmer-Preferred Cassava Landraces in Uganda Y. Baguma · M.E. Ferguson · P. Gibson · J.W. Harvey +2 more Understanding of genetic diversity among a breeding population is an important requirement for crop improvement as it allows for the selection of diverse parental combinations and formation of heterotic pools for genetic gain. This study w… RUF-31424 2012 CC BY 4.0 28 Sep 2013
