Analysis of selected diploid banana genotypes for resistance to weevil damage and pollen quantity as key elements of banana breeding
Juliet Kemigisa, Ivan Kabiita Arinaitwe, Jerome Kubiriba, Arthur K Tugume, Robooni Tumuhimbise
Banana weevils (Cosmopolites sordidus) cause significant reductions in banana productivity in Uganda. Their distribution extends countrywide, with higher concentrations in the central region due to favorable environmental conditions. Integ…

Developmental biology of Bean Leaf Beetle (Ootheca mutabilis) on common bean
Lutaakome M.; Kyamanywa S.; Otim M. H.
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a major source of food and income for people in sub Saharan Africa. Attack by Bean Leaf Beetles (Ootheca spp. Chev.) is one of the major causes of yield loss to the crop, causing up to 48.9% grain yie…

Differential Growth and Transpiration Responses Among Banana (Musa Spp.) Hybrids—Hope for Breeding Drought Tolerant Bananas?
Moureen Nansamba, Julia Sibiya, Clara Gambart, Deborah Karamura, Eldad Karamura, Robooni Tumuhimbise, Sebastien C. Carpentier
Drought stress greatly impacts banana (Musa spp.) production(Van Asten et al. 2011), limiting its growth and yield. In the East African Great Lakes region, East African highland bananas(EAHBs) dominate the agricultural production systems(K…
