Does price discounts, nutrition awareness and food safety awareness improve sale of fresh fruits and vegetables (FFVs) among the urban poor?
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116791
Abstract
The majority of the urban poor are food insecure and undernourished due to poor quality of their diets. Interventions to boost food nutrition and safety awareness and affordability of healthier and more nutritious foods in low income urban would be helpful in changing dietary behavior and improving food and nutrition security. There is, however,…

Digital sequence information is changing the way genetic resources are used in agricultural research and development: implications for new benefit-sharing norms
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/125749
Abstract
This paper analyses the ways in which CGIAR Centers use digital sequence information (DSI) in their efforts to conserve and sustainably utilize the world’s most important crop and livestock genetic diversity. The paper then reflects on which of the benefit-sharing options currently under consideration by the Contracting Parties to…

Lack of association between fluconazole susceptibility and ERG11 nucleotide polymorphisms in Cryptococcus neoformans clinical isolates from Uganda
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/125776
Abstract
Fluconazole is the drug of choice for cryptococcal meningitis (CM) monoprophylaxis in resource-limited settings such as Uganda. Emerging fluconazole resistance linked to mutations in the Cryptococcus neoformans ERG11 gene (CYP51) has been observed in clinical isolates. Currently, the single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs] in the Cryptococcus spp…

Effectiveness of pyramided genes in conferring resistance to anthracnose disease in common bean populations
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/125791
Abstract
Anthracnose disease (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. et. Magn) Lams. Scrib.) is one of the most devastating diseases that constrain common bean production in Uganda. A cascading pedigree pyramiding scheme was used to develop common bean populations to evaluate the effectiveness of pyramided and single resistance genes (Co-42, Co-43, Co-5, and Co-9) on disease development.…

DNA extraction from silica gel-preserved common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) leaves
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/125799
Abstract
Extraction of non-degraded and contaminant-free DNA from field specimen requires collection under liquid nitrogen which is not readily available in resource constrained laboratories in low and middle income countries (LMICs). A method of extracting DNA from silica gel-preserved common bean (Proteus vulgaris L.) leaves is presented. The method, which does not involve the use of phenol, chloroform or isoamyl…

Analysis of genetic diversity of banana weevils (Cosmopolites sordidus) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) using tanscriptome-derived simple sequence repeat markers
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/125793
Abstract
The banana weevil, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an economically important insect pest of bananas. It causes up to 100% yield losses and substantial lifespan reduction in bananas. Advances in genomics, proteomics, and sequencing technologies have provided powerful pathways to genotyping disastrous pests…

A simple and efficient method for extracting S. Rolfsii DNA for PCR based diversity studies
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/125802
Abstract
Present methods of extracting DNA from Sclerotium rolfsii use a lot of hazardous organic chemicals to extract high quality DNA. Extraction of the DNA is further complicated by exopolysaccharides that bind to the DNA making it mucilaginous.
We developed a simple and efficient protocol for extracting DNA high quality from S. rolfsii. Our method uses a DNA extraction buffer that contains sodium dodecyl…

Abstract
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a staple and nutritious leguminous food crop for all income categories in Africa. Efforts to improve its yield performance and nutritional components, especially Iron and zinc have resulted in the release of several varieties in the sub-Saharan African region. The objective of this study was to assess genetic progress in varieties released in 12 African countries…
