Abstract
Diseases were identified as the most important factor limiting bean production as early as 1960. Research on these diseases in Uganda focused on the important ones as identified by pathologists. The progress presented here summarizes the work carried out on these diseases since 1960. Between 1960-1984 races of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and Uromyces appendiculatus were…

Abstract
Cassava is an important crop in the tropics. The Manihot genus had 98 species and no barriers for efficient reproductive isolation have been observed; therefore plant breeders have an immense gene pool to work with. Genes from wild species have already been successfully used to obtain var. resistant to CAMV, but attempts to…
