The associations among yield-related traits and the pattern of influence on rice grain yield were investigated. This evaluation is important to determine direct indirect effects various selection criteria for higher yield. Fifteen genotypes evaluated under tropical condition at five locations in two planting seasons. experiment was laid out a randomized complete block design with three replications across locations. Data collected vegetative components traits. pooled data based analysis...
Flooding or submergence is one of the major environmental stressors affecting many man-made and natural ecosystems worldwide. The increase in frequency duration heavy rainfall due to climate change has negatively affected plant growth development, which eventually causes death plants if it persists for days. Most crops, especially rice, being a semi-aquatic plant, are greatly by flooding, leading yield losses each year. Genetic variability response flooding includes quiescence scheme, allows...
Marker-assisted selection and gene pyramiding are very important breeding strategies for conferring broad spectrum durable resistance against diseases causing yield loss in rice. One such disease major set backs rice production is bacterial leaf blight (BLB) caused by the pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae. Molecular markers essential both marker-assisted of genes, hence, many molecular marker techniques have already been developed. Presently, most commonly used ones DNA-based also known...
Currently, the global agricultural system is focused on a limited number of crop species, thereby presenting threat to food security and supply, especially with predicted climate change conditions. The importance ‘underutilized’ species in meeting world’s demand for has been duly recognized by research communities, governments policy makers worldwide. development underutilized crops, their vast genetic resources beneficial traits, may be useful step towards solving challenges offering...

Specialty fragrant rice is sold at a premium price in both local and international trade because of its superior grain qualities. In this research, 40 advanced accessions were evaluated different environments. The primary objective was to identify genotypes with high yield stability using multivariate (GGE biplot) univariate analysis (regression slope, deviation from regression, Shukla’s variance, Wricke’s ecovalence, Kang’s statistic). field experiment trials laid randomized complete block...
Multi-environmental yield trial is very vital in assessing newly developed rice lines for its adaptability and stability across environments especially prior to release of the variety commercial cultivation. The growth performance phenotypic variability these genotypes are combination environment, genotype by environment (G×E) interaction factors. Thus, evaluation creates an opportunity effective selection superior genotypes. objectives this study were evaluate blast resistant varied...
Sweet potato breeding in Africa, more especially Nigeria, has mainly focused on improving productivity farmers' fields and fresh root consumption. In order to target the program, study was conducted estimate magnitude of genotype × environment interaction (G E) select stable high yielding sweet genotypes for yield Cylas severity two locations, identify most discriminating representative test environments Nigeria. The 41 were evaluated across diverse using a randomized complete block design...
Bacterial leaf blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv (Xoo) and blast Magnaporthe are major diseases responsible for significant yield loss in rice production across all growing regions. Host plant resistance has been advocated as a sustainable means of guarding against the diseases. This experiment was conducted with aim to introgress multiple genes bacterial through marker-assisted backcross breeding. Two dominant (Xa4 Xa21) two recessive (xa5 xa13) Xoo were introgressed into high yielding...
The most vital aspect of marker-assisted backcross breeding is the recurrent parent genome recovery. This enables selection only parents with recovered recipient/recurrent in addition to targeted genes. recovery (RPGR) ensures that non-desirable genomic segments are removed while gene interest sustained recombined progenies without further segregations. work was aimed at quantifying RPGR populations introgression bacterial leaf blight resistance Putra-1, a Malaysian elite variety, high...
Grafting is regarded as an integral component of sustainable vegetable production. It important in the management soil-borne diseases, and reports suggest that grafting with viable rootstocks can enhance crop growth yield. This research was conducted using splices cleft techniques to investigate graft compatibility among varieties high yielding eggplant scion (MCV1, MCV2, CCV1, CCV2, CCV3, NCV, TCV) grafted onto wild (MWR, BWR, TWR) study their morphophysiological yield characteristics. High...
Abstract West Africa is a dry region and drought tolerant sweetpotato cultivar was not reported. The objective of this study to develop higher yielding hybrids following accelerated breeding scheme (ABS), G × E interaction. During advanced yield trial, the assessment clones conducted in six locations: four Niger two Nigeria. Data were collected on storage root (SRY), harvest index (HI) matter content (DMC). Twenty-three evaluated under irrigation. Terminal imposed. SAS GenStat softwares used...
This experiment was conducted to genotypically and phenotypically select new rice lines pyramided with blast bacterial leaf blight disease resistance genes after a marker-assisted backcross breeding programme. The inter-relationship among agro-morphological characteristics their effect on yield also studied. polymorphic functional microsatellite markers Xa21FR pTA248 (Xa21), Xa13prom (xa13), RM21 (xa5), MP (Xa4), RM6836 (Pi2, Pi9 & Piz) RM8225 (Piz) were first confirmed for the target...
Abstract This experiment was conducted with the aim of introgressing multiple resistance genes against bacterial leaf blight (BLB) and blast diseases through marker-assisted backcross breeding. Two dominant ( Xa4 Xa21 ) two recessive xa5 xa13 BLB were introgressed into a Malaysian elite rice variety Putra-1 genetic background three Piz, Pi2 Pi9 high yielding. Eight polymorphic tightly linked functional SSR markers used for foreground selection target genes. 79 in selection. The plants...

Abstract Mushrooms are fleshy fungi valued globally for their nutritional and medical benefits. The study was conducted at Ebonyi State University Mushroom Center, Abakaliki, to determine an optimum level of limestone (CaCO 3 ) on the genotypes maximum growth yield. experiment carried out as a split-plot in completely randomized design (CRD) with use Oyster mushroom variety. two (GI GII) were placed whole plot while sub-plot which consisted five rates CaCO (Og,5 g, 10 15 g 20 g).

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) and blast are among the most destructive diseases of rice. In order to develop new varieties that can resist various races pathogens Xanthomonas oryzae pv. (Xoo) Magnaporthe oryzae, which cause these two diseases, respectively, it is important identify suitable markers a marker-aided selection strategy. Seventeen foreground microsatellites associated with resistance against BLB were screened for polymorphism possible adoption in breeding program resistant cultivar...
