Shallow basal root growth angle (BRGA) increases phosphorus acquisition efficiency by enhancing topsoil foraging because in most soils, is concentrated the topsoil. Root hair length and density (RHL/D) increase expanding soil volume subject to depletion through diffusion. We hypothesized that shallow BRGA large RHL/D are synergetic for acquisition, meaning their combined effect greater than sum of individual effects. To evaluate this hypothesis, field Mozambique was compared among...
Seedling root phenotypes may have important impacts on fitness and are more easily measured than mature phenotypes. We phenotyped the roots of 577 genotypes common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), representing bulk genetic diversity for recent cultivars landraces in this species. Root architectural seedlings germinated nine days were compared to field as well seed yield across 51 environments with an array abiotic stresses including drought, nutrient deficiency, heat, non-stress conditions....
Root architectural phenes enhancing topsoil foraging are important for phosphorus acquisition. In this study, the utility of a novel phene is described, basal root whorl number (BRWN), that has significant effects on in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Whorls defined as distinct tiers roots emerge tetrarch fashion along base hypocotyl. Wild and domesticated taxa well two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations were screened BRWN (BRN). A set six RILs contrasting was evaluated performance...
The genetic improvement of economically important production traits dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), for geographic regions where is threatened by drought and high temperature stress, challenging because the complex nature these traits. Large scale SNP data sets two major gene pools bean, Andean Middle American, were developed mapping multiple genotype-by-sequencing reads identifying over 200k SNPs each pool against most recent assembly P. genome sequence. Moderately sized B ean A biotic S...
Abstract The objective of this work was to use the GGE biplot method select superior wheat genotypes for adaptability and stability, determine grain yield in Sussundenga, Bárué, Lichinga, Mozambique, 2018/2019, 2019/2020, 2020/2021 crop years. Eleven treatments were evaluated, using ten from International Maize Wheat Improvement Center a control cultivar developed by Zimbabwean seed company used national program country. Grain main trait evaluated through individual joint analyses variance,...
The present research aims to evaluate the agronomic potential, and estimate genetic parameters in common bean characteristics.The experiments were conducted experimental area of Agrarian Station Sussundenga (ASS), Institute Agricultural Research Mozambique (IIAM)-Zonal Center (CZC), Manica Province-Mozambique three agricultural seasons (2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18).The evaluated using a randomized block design with replications 115 entries genotypes.The characteristics were: number days...
