Bean breeding in Uganda
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/80351
Abstract
The history of bean breeding in Uganda from 1960-90 is reviewed, covering production constraints, germplasm collections, introductions, and cultivar release. Note is made of the restructuring of the breeding programme in 1989 and the resulting large increase in breeding material handled. Yield results from the 1990b season are presented, showing that breeding lines have been identified with…

Development and diversity of Andean-derived, gene-based microsatellites for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43056
Abstract
Background: Gene-based (genic) microsatellites are a useful tool for plant genetics and simple
sequence repeat loci can often be found in coding regions of the genome. While EST sequencing
can be used to discover genic microsatellites, direct screening of cDNA libraries for repeat motifs
can save on overall sequencing costs. The objective of this research was to screen a large…

Abstract
In 1978, CIAT"s Tropical Pastures Program, with the cooperation of national research institutions active in pastures research, took the initiative of forming the RIEPT (Red Internacional de Evaluación de Pastos Tropicales - i.e . lnternational Tropical Pastures Evaluation Network). Its central objectives were defined as, To contribute to the search for new pasture germplasm for the different production ecosystems prevalent in the…

Abstract
RABAOC (Reseau de Recherche en Alimentation du Bétail en Afrique Occidentale et Centrale) was established as a collaborative research effort between CIRAD-EMVT, ILCA, CIAT and NARS, to conduct adaptative research on forage species suitable for animal feeding in the humid end sub-humid areas 01 West and Central Africa. Through the RABAOC network, 18 trials have been established with forage germplasm received from CIAT, ILCA and IDESSA, in 9 countries.The objectives of RABAOC…

Abstract
Con las excepciones de Bolivia y Venezuela, más del 60 por ciento de la superficie dedicada al frijol, se localiza en el área serrana. El cultivo se realiza bajo condiciones de secano, generalmente en terrenos de ladera en asociación con maíz (Lépiz, 1994). En el Perú, el 37 por ciento del área cultivada con fréjol está en la sierra y en…

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/88418
Abstract
Data obtained from the international Bean Rust Nursery (IBRN) in 1975-76 showed that none of the 132 cv. and breeding lines tested was resistant to bean rust; however, some were susceptible only in specific geographical regions. CIATs bean program has concentrated its efforts on selecting rust-resistant cv. from crosses from IBRN parents under natural and artificially induced field…

Abstract
Crop improvement efforts have benefited greatly from advances in available data, computing technology, and methods for targeting genotypes to environments. These advances support the analysis of genotype by environment interactions (GEI) to understand how well a genotype adapts to environmental conditions. This paper reviews the use of spatial analysis to support crop improvement research aimed at matching…

Abstract
Natural resource management problems in agriculture often transcend field or farm boundaries. What happens in one part of landscape depends on management practices in another. Pest and disease problems in crops, soil erosion, problems related to quantity and quality of water are all examples of this temporal and spacial interdependency.…
