Journal articles Open Access Maize Combined Insect Resistance Genomic Regions and Their Co-localization With Cell Wall Constituents Revealed by Tissue-Specific QTL Meta-Analyses S Agbahoungba · A. Badji · A Ibanda · F. Kumi +9 more Combinatorial insect attacks on maize leaves, stems, and kernels cause significant yield losses and mycotoxin contaminations. Several small effect quantitative trait loci (QTL) control maize resistance to stem borers and storage pests and … RUF-38248 2018 CC BY 4.0 3 May 2020
Journal articles Open Access Quantitative trait loci for resistance to Stenocarpella maydis and Fusarium graminearum cob rots in tropical maize G. Asea · P. Gibson · P. Okori · L. Tembo Stenocarpella maydis and Fusarium graminearum are the predominant species causing maize (Zea mays L.) cob rots in the tropics and sub-Saharan Africa. Developing varieties resistant to cob rots is an alternative strategy that is practical a… RUF-35888 2014 CC BY 4.0 3 Feb 2016
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 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 Assessing the efficacy of pyramided genes in conferring dual and durable resistance to bean anthracnose and root rot M. Kiryowa · C. Mukankusi · S. Nkalubo · H. Talwana +1 more Bean anthracnose (Colletotricum lindemuthianum) and root rots are important diseases of beans in Uganda. The coexistence of both diseases on the crop in farmers’ fields and the ability of these pathogens to overcome incorporated resistance… RUF-34465 2010 CC BY 4.0 21 Aug 2015
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
