Agronomic qualities of genetic pyramids of common bean developed for multiple-disease-resistance
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/89550
Abstract
Multiple co-infections by different pathogens on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) affect its productivity and cause complete crop loss in susceptible varieties. Therefore, gene pyramiding using marker assisted selection (MAS) and backcrossing, provide alternative cost-effective control measures to bean diseases. However…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/79747
Abstract
Rhizoctonia foliar blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani, is an important disease of Brachiaria spp. in tropical America. Host-plant resistance is an attractive option for disease management. In this study, we evaluated three inoculum types (mycelium-infected agar disc, microdiscs suspensions, and microencapsulated-…

A Predictive Model for Time-to-Flowering in the Common Bean Based on QTL and Environmental Variables
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/89067
Abstract
The common bean is a tropical facultative short day legume that is now grown in tropical and temperate zones. This observation underscores how domestication and modern breeding can change the adaptive phenology of a species. A key adaptive trait is the optimal timing of the transition from the vegetative to the…

Cassava breeding II: phenotypic correlations through the different stages of selection
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/77396
Abstract
Breeding cassava relies on a phenotypic recurrent selection that takes advantage of the vegetative propagation of this crop. Successive stages of selection (single row trial- SRT; preliminary yield trial – PYT; advanced yield trial – AYT; and uniform yield trials UYT), gradually reduce the number of genotypes as the plot size, number…

Abstract
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz.) is cultivated in India in about thirteen states (out of 32 states and union territories) with major production in the South Indian states of Kerala (142,000 ha) and Tamil Nadu (65,700 ha). It is now a major industrial crop in Tamil Nadu and is also gaining importance in Andhra Pradesh. The area and production trends of…

Abstract
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important crop in the middle hills of Nepal and is mostly grown in association with finger millet (Eleusino coracana Gaertn) and fodder trees. Seven maize varieties have been recommended for the hills but few farmers have adopted them. As a prerequisite to designing a participatory maize-improvement…
