Impact of host plant species and whitefly species on feeding behavior of Bemisia tabaci by Milenovic, M., Wosula, Everlyne N., Rapisarda, Carmelo, Legg, James P.

“…The least preferred host for SSA1-SG3 was tomato, where probing was delayed by 99 min compared to 10 min on other hosts, furthermore mean duration of phloem ingestion events was 36 min compared to 260 min on cassava. (2) Feeding of MED on cassava appeared to be non-functional, as it was characterized by short total phloem ingestion periods (<1 h) and few, short ingestion events, in contrast to feeding on sweet potato which was characterized by long phloem ingestion periods (>5 h). (3) Wire diameter affects the feeding in a statistically and practically significant manner. …”

Yield and Response of Bean Breeding Lines for Drought Tolerance to Field Diseases by Amongi, Winnyfred, Mukankusi, Clare Mugisha, Sebuliba, Sulaiman, Nakyanzi, Brenda, Naluwooza, Claire, Baguma, Gerald

“…Most released varieties are not well adapted to environmental extremes and extended periods of drought in particular has become a major constraint. In this study, 462 advanced breeding lines developed for drought tolerance were evaluated for yield, agronomic traits and disease response in two contrasting agro-ecologies, Kawanda in the Lake Victoria crescent and Kachwekano in the southwestern highlands. …”
