Feasibilty of zein proteins, simple sequence repeats and phenotypic traits for background selection in quality protein maize breeding
Maphosa, M.; Oballim, G.; Nalukenge, A.; Edema, R.; Okori, P. (African Crop Science Society, 2011)Widespread adoption of quality protein maize (QPM), especially among tropical farming systems has been slow mainly due to the slow process of generating varieties with acceptable kernel quality and adaptability to different ... -
Genetic characterisation of Ugandan strains of Colletotrichum sublineolum using ISSR makers.
Sserumaga, J.P.; Biruma, M.; Akwero, A.; Okori, P.; Edema, R. (National Agricultural Research Organisation, 2013)Colletotrichum sublineolum, the causal agent of sorghum anthracnose, presents high variability, genetic instability and host specialisation, hence rapidly breaking down resistance. In Uganda, no population studies of ... -
Prevalence of sorghum anthracnose in different agroecologies of Uganda
Sserumaga, J.P.; Biruma, M.; Akwero, A.; Okori, P.; Edema, R. (National Agricultural Research Organisation, 2013)Nine major sorghum growing agro-ecologies of Uganda were surveyed to establish the sorghum anthracnose incidence and severity. Hierarchical sampling was used. Severity of anthracnose in the field was rated on a scale of ...
