Journal ArticleDOI
Screening of Bread Wheat Genotypes for Drought Tolerance Using Phenotypic and Proline Analyses.
TL;DR: The positive correlation observed between grain yield and proline content under-drought stress conditions provides evidence that proline accumulation might ultimately be considered as a tool for effective selection of drought tolerant genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusarium head blight of wheat: Pathogenesis and control strategies
C.C. Dweba,Sandiswa Figlan,Hussein Shimelis,Thabiso E. Motaung,Scott L. Sydenham,Learnmore Mwadzingeni,Toi J. Tsilo +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the state of knowledge on Fusarium head blight severity, pathogenesis and genetic control strategies, and use available genomic technologies used to uncoil the underlying mechanisms of virulence in the dominant FHB species, F.graminearum, are further outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding wheat for drought tolerance: Progress and technologies
TL;DR: This review summarizes the progress made in dry land wheat improvement, advances in knowledge, complementary methodologies, and perspectives towards breeding for drought tolerance in the crop to create a coherent overview.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide association analysis of agronomic traits in wheat under drought-stressed and non-stressed conditions.
TL;DR: The MTAs reported in this population could be useful to initiate marker-assisted selection and targeted trait introgression of wheat under drought-stressed and non-Stressed conditions, and for fine mapping and cloning of the underlying genes and QTL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potato Production in Kenya: Farming Systems and Production Constraints
TL;DR: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a major food and cash crop in the Kenyan highlands, widely grown by small-scale farmers and the red-skinned Dutch Robyjn is widely grown.
