Improvement of resistance to Fusarium root rot through gene pyramiding and validation of SSR PVBR87 marker in common bean

Obala, Jimmy (Makerere University, 2011)

Fusarium root rot caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli is among the most serious diseases of the common bean in Uganda causing total crop loss in susceptible cultivars. Studies have indicated that 2-9 genes located ...

Pyramiding Fusarium root rot resistance genes and validation of SSR PVBR87 in common bean

Obala, Jimmy; Rubaihayo, P.R; Mukankusi, C; Gibson, P (RUFORUM, 2010)

This study determined effectiveness of pyramided Fusarium root rot (FRR) resistance genes and validated association of SSR PVBR87 marker with FRR resistance in common bean. A double cross (DC) involving four resistance ...
