The objective of this study was to assess the resistance of tomato genotypes with high foliar levels of allelochemicals to the leafminer Liriomyza trifolii. Eight tomato genotypes with contrasting levels of three different ...

The history of CGIAR and the development and implementation of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture ("Plant Treaty") are closely intertwined. In accordance with the agreements that ...

Multistage linear phenotypic selection indices predict the individual net genetic merit at different individual ages or stages and are cost-saving strategies for improving several traits. In a two-stage context, we compared ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) yield in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is low because of both abiotic and biotic constraints, and limited availability or use of improved seed in some areas. This study was conducted (i) to estimate combining ...

Different methods of diallel crossing are commonly used in plant breeding. The diallel cross analysis method proposed by Hayman is particularly useful because it provides information, among others, on additive and dominance ...

The development of resistant lines and hybrids is an economical way to control disease and improve yield stability. The objectives of this study were (i) to investigate if differences in resistance to gray leaf spot (GLS, ...

The marker ´ environment interaction (M´E) genomic model can be used to generate predictions for untested individuals and identify genomic regions in which effects are stable across environments and others that show ...
