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)

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. ...
Accuracy of Using Leaf Blade Length and Leaf Blade Width Measurements to Calculate the Leaf Area of Solanum Aethiopicum Shum Group
(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 ...
