Working Document Series Open Access Response of sorghum genotypes to anthracnose and Turcicum leaf blight M. A. Abdelbagi · Nafisa Elmahi Ahmed · Beshir Mayada M. · P. Okori +1 more The absence of cultivars with dual disease levels of resistance justifies the search for genotypes with diseases resistance genes in sorghum breeding programs. In this study, four field and two greenhouse experiments were carried out in so… RUF-37473 2016 CC BY 4.0 10 Apr 2018
Working Document Series Open Access Identification of Turcicum leaf blight resistance genes in sorghum using comparative genomics Mayada Mamoun Beshir · S. Manthi · D.A. Odeny · P. Okori Turcicum leaf blight, caused by Exserohilum turcicum (Pass) K.J. Leonard and E.G. Suggs (teleomorph: Setosphaeria turcica (Luttrell) Leonard and Suggs), formerly known as Helminthosporium turcicum, is a major foliar disease of both sorghum… RUF-36953 2016 CC BY 4.0 15 Sep 2017
Journal articles Open Access Simple sequence repeat markers associated with anthracnose and Turcicum leaf blight resistance in sorghum N.E. Ahmed · A.M. Ali · M.M. Beshir · P. Okori +1 more Deployment of host resistance remains the most cost effective strategy for management of foliar and grain diseases, especially for resource constrained farmers. There is paucity of information on dual resistance in sorghum to both diseases… RUF-35921 2016 CC BY 4.0 31 Mar 2016
Theses & Dissertations Open Access Combining ability for multiple resistance to turcicum leaf blight (Exserohilum turcicum) and maize streak virus disease Luka Atwok Opio Awata Maize foliar diseases are the most important impediments to increased maize production in Uganda. The main objectives of the studies reported in this thesis were (i) to characterise inbred lines for resistance to Turcicum leaf blight and m… RUF-35514 2012 CC BY 4.0 29 Sep 2015
Theses & Dissertations Open Access Interaction between turcicum leaf blight and maize streak virus disease in maize Patrick Okori The effects of concomitant infection by exserohilum turcicum and maize streak virus (MSV) were quantified in one susceptible maize inbred line. Infection by MSV masked symptom expression of Turcicum leaf blight. In general, plant leaf area… RUF-35421 1997 CC BY 4.0 23 Sep 2015
Working Document Series Open Access Heterosis and combining abilities for multiple resistance to Turcicum leaf blight and maize streak virus G. Asea · Y. Baguma · P. Okori · L.A. Opio Fifty two single crosses were evaluated for resistance to Turcicum Leaf blight (TLB) and Maize Streak Virus (MSV) resistance across several locations in Uganda in 2009. The crosses were grown in 1-row plots with 2 replications. Subsequentl… RUF-34520 2010 CC BY 4.0 25 Aug 2015
Working Document Series Open Access Introgressing resistance to Turcicum leaf blight and mapping of associated quantitative trait loci in sorghum M. Abdelbagi Ali · Mayada Mamoun Beshir · P. Gibson · P. Okori Screening for Turcicum leaf blight was carried out in F2 and F2:3 segregating sorghum populations under field and controlled conditions. Disease severity as a percentage of leaf area covered by lesions was computed and the lesion type was … RUF-34473 2010 CC BY 4.0 21 Aug 2015
Working Document Series Open Access Strengthening Breeding for Resistance to Turcicum Leaf Blight in Sorghum: Mapping of Resistance Quantitative Trait Loci M. Abdelbagi Ali · D. Kiambi · Beshir Mayada M. · P. Okori Sorghum cultivars grown in East and Central Africa are susceptiple to various foliar diseases, of which turcicum leaf blight, caused by Exerohlium turcicum, causes severe damage. The best way to control foliar diseases is by breeding resis… RUF-32499 2012 CC BY 4.0 17 May 2014
