Analysis of genetic diversity of banana weevils (Cosmopolites sordidus) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) using tanscriptome-derived simple sequence repeat markers por Milton, Ali, Muhanguzi, Dennis, Male, Allan, Kajubi, Ali, Buah, Stephen, Kubiriba, Jerome, Tumuhimbise, Robooni

“…Of these, six highly polymorphic transcriptome-derived SSR markers were used to successfully genotype within and among banana weevil population genetic diversity of 12 C. sordidus populations collected from four banana-growing agro-ecological zones (AEZs) in Uganda. The developed transcriptome-derived SSR markers can be used by researchers in population genetics for characterization of the C. sordidus and identification of new genes that are linked to traits of particular interest. …”

Enhancing food security in South Sudan: The role of public food stocks and cereal imports por Dorosh, Paul A., Rashid, Shahidur, Childs, Abigail, van Asselt, Joanna
