Accuracy of Using Leaf Blade Length and Leaf Blade Width Measurements to Calculate the Leaf Area of Solanum Aethiopicum Shum Group
Nakanwagi, Mildred Julian; Sseremba, Godfrey; Nahamya, Pamela Kaboda; Masanza, Michael; Balyejusa, Elizabeth Kizito (2018)Leaf area is an important parameter when determining growth response under normal as well as stressed environments. No attempt had been made to come up with an affordable but accurate alternative of measuring leaf size in ... -
Contribution of Backyard Farming to Food and Income Security: Case of Kampala Metropolitan
Kirungi, Macklean; Sseremba, Godfrey; Tugume, Katarimpika Joab; Murongo, Marius Flavian; Ssekandi, Joseph; Tedson Julius Mwine (ProQuest, 2020)Food insecurity, poverty, environmental degradation and climatic change are some of the major challenges facing the world. The urban poor are among Ugandans facing food insecurity and malnutrition due to several causes ... -
Diversity and distribution of African indigenous vegetable species in Uganda
Sseremba, Godfrey; Kabod, Nahamya Pamela; Katwijukye Kasharu, Apolo; Nkalubo Jaggwe, John; Masanza, Michael; Balyejusa Kizito, Elizabeth (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 ... -
Effect of temperature on sweet potato virus disease symptom expression
Sseremba, Godfrey; Mukasa, Settumba; Kyamanywa, Samuel (Uganda Martyrs University, 2019)The incidence and severity of sweetpotato virus disease (SPVD) was reported to be highly variable under different agroecological zones in Uganda, a situation that could be partly attributable to differences in temperature. ... -
Ethnobotanical Knowledge of Home Garden Plant Species and its Effect on Home Garden Plant Diversity in Thies Region of Senegal
Naigaga, Hellen; Ssekandi, Joseph; Ngom, Ablaye; Sseremba, Godfrey; Mbaye, Mame Samba; Noba, Kandioura (Springer Link, 2020-08-13)Home gardens are the frst source of immediate contact between people and plants since the gardens are within homesteads. Most home garden studies in Senegal concentrate on food security and economic benefts; no research ... -
Heritability of drought resistance in Solanum aethiopicum Shum group and combining ability of genotypes for drought tolerance and recovery
Sseremba, Godfrey; Tongoona, Pangirayi; Yaw Eleblu, John; Yirenkyi Danquah, Eric; Balyejusa Kizito, Elizabeth (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 ... -
Morphological distinctiveness between Solanum aethiopicum Shum group and its progenitor
Sseremba, Godfrey; Tongoona, Pangirayi; Yaw Eleblu, John Savior; Yirenkyi Danquah, Eric; Kabod, Nahamya Pamela; Balyejusa Kizito, Elizabeth (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
Nakanwagi, Mildred Julian; Sseremba, Godfrey; Masanza, Michael; Balyejusa Kizito, Elizabeth (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 ... -
Stability of Solanum aethiopicum Shum accessions under varied water deficit stress levels and identification of pertinent breeding traits for resistance to water shortage
Sseremba, Godfrey; Tongoona, Pangirayi; Yaw Eleblu, John Savior; Yirenkyi Danquah, Eric; Kaweesi, Tadeo; Baguma, Yona; Masanza, Michael; Balyejusa Kizito, Elizabeth (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 ...
