Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction analysis for storage root yield of cassava genotypes evaluated in Uganda by Ntawuruhunga, Pheneas, Rubaihayo, P., Whyte, J., Dixon, A., Osiru, D.

“…In order to disentangle the genetic and GxE effects and get meaningful interpretation of the results, additive main effects and multiplicattive interaction (AMMI) were used to identify patterns in the data, estimate the genotype performance by removing G x E noise that are intrinsic in cassava genotypes and determine genotype performance in specific environments. …”

Futures of tropical forests (sensu lato) by Putz, F.E., Romero, C.

“…Celebrations when a country passes this ‘forest transition’ will then be tempered by realization that what has been accepted as ‘forest’ spans the gamut from short‐rotation mono‐clonal stands of genetically engineered trees to fully protected old growth natural forest. …”

Evaluation of cassava cultivars for canopy retention and its relationship with field resistance to green spider mite by Nukenine, E.N., Dixon, Alfred G.O., Hassan, A.T., Asiwe, J.A.N.

“…It is proposed that cassava cultivars which are tolerant to drought may also be resistant to M. tanajoa and that the genetic potential of cassava to retain many green leaves during the dry season may be a major factor of resistance to M. tanajoa.…”

Applied genomics in the improvement of crops grown in Africa by Crouch, J.H., Ortíz, R.

“…In this way, indirect selection with co-dominant molecular markers tightly linked to the gene(s) controlling the characteristic(s) of interest improves response to selection, because heritability for co-dominant markers equals to 1. Molecular markers are therefore descriptors that offer reproducible results for characterizing genotypes. …”

Heterotic affinity and combining ability of exotic maize inbred lines for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation by Meseka, S., Williams, W.P., Warburton, Marilyn L., Brown, R.L., Augusto, J., Ortega Beltran, A., Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit, Menkir, A.

“…Aflatoxin accumulation in maize (Zea mays L.) kernels is a serious economic and health problem that reduces grain quality and nutritional values and causes death to livestock and humans. Understanding the genetic parameters and heterotic responses of exotic maize inbred lines can facilitate their use for developing aflatoxin resistant parents of hybrids in Africa. …”

Selecting for food-feed traits in desi and kabuli genotypes of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) by Wamatu, Jane, Alemu, Tena, Tolera, Adugna, Beyan, Mohammed, Alkhtib, Ashraf, Eshete, Million, Ahmed, Seid, Rischkowsky, Barbara A.

“…The study explored the genetic and environmental variability in chickpea for food-feed traits.Seventy nine genotypes of 17 early-maturing desi genotypes, 19 early-maturing kabuli genotypes and 43 latematuring kabuli genotypes were evaluated for food-feed traits in 7 trials laid out in a randomized complete block design in 3 locations in Ethiopia.All trials showed wide genotypic ranges in various traits related to grain yield, straw yield and straw quality.Analysis of variance for individual trials showed significant (P<0.05)effects of genotype, location and their interaction on grain and straw yields, CP, IVOMD and NDF in all populations.Correlation analysis exhibited either positive or insignificant correlations with straw yield in all trials.The correlation between IVOMD and grain yield was insignificant in all trials.Grain yield correlated significantly (P<0.001) and positively to NDF in early maturing kabuli, however, the correlation was moderate (r= 0.396).Grain yield correlated either weakly or insignificantly to CP and Ca in the trials.The correlation between P and grain yield was ignored as the straw content of P was very small in all genotypes (<1.78 g/kg).Weak or absence of correlations between grain yields with straw traits would enable chickpea breeders to manipulate grain yield and straw traits independently.This presents an opportunity to identify parental genotypes for improving grain yield and straw traits for individual locations.…”

How Have Markets Affected the Governance of Agrobiodiversity? by Jager, Matthias, Loosen, Irene van, Giuliani, Alessandra

“…To enhance both agrobiodiversity conservation and income generation through market-based instruments endeavors to place a value on agrobiodiversity that signal its true production cost and contributions to genetic resource usage should be further developed. …”
