Enhancing the prediction accuracy of groundnut yield by integrating significant markers and modeling genotype × environment interaction Open
Multi‐environment trials are routinely conducted in plant breeding to capture the genotype‐by‐environment interaction (G × E) effects. Significant G × E could alter the response pattern of genotypes (the change in rankings of genotypes), s…

Genetic Characterization of Benin’s Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) Germplasm using Molecular Markers Open
Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean L.), a leguminous crop native to Africa, is of parmount importance to food security as it represents one of the protein source to poor farmers in rural area. However, its genetic diversity and populati…

Use of low cost near-infrared spectroscopy, to predict pasting properties of high quality cassava flour Open
Determination of pasting properties of high quality cassava flour using rapid visco analyzer is expensive and time consuming. The use of mobile near infrared spectroscopy (SCiO™) is an alternative high throughput phenotyping technology for…

Enhancing Nutrition: A Review of Provitamin A Carotenoid Cassava Breeding Initiatives in East Africa Open
Biofortification of staple food stands as one of the most reliable methods of alleviating vitamin A deficiency (VAD). Evidence suggests that introducing provitamin A carotenoid (pVAC) cassava into the diets of preschool and primary school …

Genetic differentiation of a southern Africa tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius A Gray) germplasm collection using high-density DArTseq SNP markers Open
Genetic resources of tepary bean ( Phaseolus acutifolius A. Gray) germplasm collections are not well characterized due to a lack of dedicated genomic resources. There is a need to assemble genomic resources specific to tepary bean for germ…

Use of Low Cost Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, to Predict Pasting Properties of High Quality Cassava Flour Open
Mobile near infrared spectroscopy (SCiO™) can offer quick, in-field phenotyping of cassava roots for pasting properties. However, validation is necessary to verify that reasonable expectations are established for the accuracy of a predicti…

The regulation of salt and drought stress responses by SDR and its interacting proteins in arabidopsis Open
The ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway is key to protein degradation in plants. Its specificity often orchestrated by ubiquitin-protein ligases (or E3s), which facilitate the translocation of ubiquitin to appropriate targets. F-box protein i…

Portable Spectroscopy Calibration with Inexpensive and Simple Sampling Reference Alternatives for Dry Matter and Total Carotenoid Contents in Cassava Roots Open
The use of standard laboratory methods for trait evaluation is expensive and challenging, especially for low-resource breeding programs. For carotenoid assessment, rather than the standard HPLC method, these programs mostly rely on proxy a…

Comparing the efficiency of base and multiplicative selection indices for yield and quality traits in Cassava Open
The efficiency of two selection indices; base index and the multiplicative index was compared to determine the effectiveness of each in identifying superior genotypes in cassava (Manihot esculent Crantz) population. Genotypic data on vario…

Flowering problems and their possible solution in cassava breeding Open
Six elite cassava clones were chosen from cassava breeding program at the National Crops Resource Research Institute (NaCRRI) based on their flowering characteristics and seed set. The clones were planted in randomized complete block exper…

Comparison of Near-infrared Spectroscopy with other options for total carotenoids content phenotyping in fresh cassava roots Open
This study compared the relationship of different phenotyping methods including iCheckTM CAROTENE (iCheck), Chromameter, colour chart and visible/near-infrared spectroscopy (Vis/NIRS) used in quantifying total carotenoids content (TCC) in …
