Conversion and validation of uniplex SNP markers for selection of resistance to Cassava Mosaic Disease in Cassava breeding programs
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/113803
Abstract
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is a major viral disease adversely affecting cassava production in Africa and Asia. Genomic regions conferring resistance to the disease have been mapped in African cassava germplasm through biparental quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and genome-wide association studies. To facilitate the utilization of these markers in…

Identification of Guinea grasses with increased nitrate interception
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115805
Abstract
Over application of nitrogen (N)—as urea or manure—to increase yield of forage grasses is a common practice in intensive livestock production systems (e.g., cut and carry systems) in the tropics. Under such systems, excess of N is mostly lost as nitrate through leaching. Minimization of nitrate leaching has both environmental and economic benefits. Albeit fertilization management can minimize nitrate leaching, this is…

Farm diversification strategies, dietary diversity and farm size: Results from a cross-country sample in South and Southeast Asia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/132579
Abstract
South and Southeast Asia host almost half of the world's undernourished people. Food and agricultural systems in these regions are highly dependent on the production and consumption of staple cereals such as rice, maize and wheat. More diverse farming systems can potentially improve rural people's nutrition, while reducing the environmental impact of…

Understanding maternal food choice for preschool children across urban-rural settings in Vietnam
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/125394
Abstract
Improving diet quality of preschool children is challenging in countries undergoing food environment and nutrition transition. However, few studies have sought to understand how mothers in these countries decide what and how to feed their children. This study aims to explore maternal experiences, perspectives and beliefs when making food choice decisions for preschool children in urban, peri-…
