Little attention has been paid to on-farm cocoa fermentation practices, leading poor-quality beans. A cross-sectional study was conducted in three agroecological zones of Uganda (Lake Victoria Crescent, Western Rangelands, and Lake Albert Crescent) investigate the association between farmer training adoption recommended practices as well impact on quality. Data collected using a questionnaire. The quality beans from interviewed farmers assessed for bean cut test, index, pH, titratable...
The tope shark (Galeorhinus galeus Linnaeus, 1758) is a temperate, coastal hound found in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans. In this study, population structure of Galeorhinus was determined across entire Southern Hemisphere, where species heavily targeted by commercial fisheries, as well locally, along South African coastline. Analysis conducted on total 185 samples using 19 microsatellite markers 671 bp fragment NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (ND2) gene. Across three geographically...
Coffea canephora has high but inadequately exploited genetic diversity. This diversity, if well exploited, can sustain coffee productivity amidst climate change effects. Drought and heat stress are major global threats to productivity, quality, tradable volumes. It is not understood there a selectable variation for drought tolerance in Robusta half-sibs as result of watering deficit pre-exposure at the germination stage. Half-sib seeds from selected commercial clones (KR5, KR6, KR7) pipeline...
The recently developed Robusta coffee wilt disease resistant (CWD-r) varieties in Uganda outperform the local landraces, both yield and resilience. However, their uptake has been slow due to limited information on cup worth. This study profiled worth of five most commonly grown CWD-r across Lake Victoria Crescent, Western Mid-altitude farmland Central Wooded Savannah agro-ecologies.Significant correlations (P ≤ 0.05) were observed between soil nutrients bean size but this was not case for...
Here, we report the first whole-genome assembly of a Fusarium xylarioides race pathogenic to robusta coffee in Uganda. It comprises 55,122,624 bases and 14,552 genes. Gene ontology analysis assigned 5,720 genes biological processes, 4,545 cellular components, 6,021 molecular function.
