Working Document Series Open Access Genetic analysis of resistance to common bean rust disease in Uganda S. Nkalubo · B. A. Odogwu · P. Rubaihayo Bean rust caused by Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers., Pers) Unger. is one of the major foliar diseases of common bean in Uganda. In the case of Uganda the framers’ preferred cultivars were from the Andean (small-seeded) cultivars which were … RUF-36328 2016 CC BY 4.0 20 Oct 2016
Working Document Series Open Access Combining ability and performance of maize hybrids under low nitrogen and drought stress G. Asea · R. Edema · A. Nyombayire The main objective of this study was to develop maize genotypes that perform well under drought and low-nitrogen stresses. Twelve parents were crossed in a half-diallel mating design. The resultant F1 hybrids were evaluated in four environ… RUF-34506 2010 CC BY 4.0 25 Aug 2015
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
