Combining Ability and Heterosis of Selected Grain and Forage Dual Purpose Sorghum Genotypes
(Journal of Agricultural Science, 2017)
Sorghum is an important food and feed source in mixed crop-livestock production systems where its dual usage is a preferred option, especially among the resource poor small-scale farmers. Attempts to improve fodder quality ...

Kumi F, Badji A, Mwila N, Odong T, Ochwo-Ssemakula M, Tusiime G, Gibson P, Biruma M, Prom KL, Cuevas HE, Agbahoungba S, Rubaihayo P. 2019. New sources of sorghum resistant genotypes to downy mildew disease in Uganda. ...
Factors Influencing Genomic Prediction Accuracies of Tropical Maize Resistance to Fall Armyworm and Weevils
(Plants, 2021)
Genomic selection (GS) can accelerate variety improvement when training set (TS) size
and its relationship with the breeding set (BS) are optimized for prediction accuracies (PAs) of
genomic prediction (GP) models. Sixteen ...
Maize Combined Insect Resistance Genomic Regions and Their Co-localization With Cell Wall Constituents Revealed by Tissue-Specific QTL Meta-Analyses
(Plant Science, 2018)
Combinatorial insect attacks on maize leaves, stems, and kernels cause significant yield losses and mycotoxin contaminations. Several small effect quantitative trait loci (QTL) control maize resistance to stem borers and ...
Genetic diversity and population structure of Peronosclerospora sorghi isolates of Sorghum in Uganda
(International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology (IJEAB), 2018)
Sorghum is the third most important staple cereal crop in Uganda after maize and millet. Downy mildew disease is one of the most devastating fungal diseases which limits the production and productivity of the crop. The ...
