Morphological distinctiveness between Solanum aethiopicum Shum group and its progenitor
(Academic Journals, 2017-06)
Use of morphological markers offers an alternative in germplasm discrimination of research-neglected
crop species. A collection of 25 accessions including five wild progenitors was evaluated in screen
house to identify ...
Performance of Solanum aethiopicum Shum group accessions under repetitive drought stress
(Academic Journals, 2017)
Drought is a serious climatic hazard to crop production, more especially when it occurs repeatedly. This created a need to identify repetitive drought tolerant varieties that recover following exposure to drought. Twenty ...
Diversity and distribution of African indigenous vegetable species in Uganda
(Academic Journals, 2017-11)
African indigenous vegetable species (AIVS) provide a means of livelihood to many urban and periurban
dwellers in Uganda. It was thus deemed necessary to understand the existing diversity and
distribution of the traditional ...
Stability of Solanum aethiopicum Shum accessions under varied water deficit stress levels and identification of pertinent breeding traits for resistance to water shortage
(Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature, 2017-12)
Drought is a major constraint to productivity of Solanum aethiopicum ‘Shum’ group due to loss in market and nutrient value of stressed plants. This study evaluated S. aethiopicum Shum group accessions to identify genotypes ...
Heritability of drought resistance in Solanum aethiopicum Shum group and combining ability of genotypes for drought tolerance and recovery
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
Drought tolerance is a complex trait whose inheritance had not been investigated in Solanum aethiopicum L. Shum group. This is partly because of perceived cross incompatibilities in the crop. This study relied on 24 ...
