Amponsah, Emmanuel Adjei; Esuma, Williams; Alicai, Titus; Boache, Emmanuel Chamba; Edema, Richard; Onziga, Isaac Dramadri; Adebo, Alfred Ozimati; Agaba, Rolland; Odong, Thomas L. (MDPI, 2022-08-23)Often, yam cultivars grown in different agro-ecologies show differential responses across production environments, a term known as "genotype-by-environment interaction. Such genotype-by-environment interaction makes the ... -
Phenotypic diversity within Ugandan yam (Dioscorea species) germplasm collection
Amponsah, Emmanuel Adjei; Esuma, Williams; Alicai, Titus; Bhattavharjee, Ranjana; Onziga, Isaac Dramadri; Agaba, Rolland; Boache, Emmanuel Chamba; Odong, Thomas L. (Hindawi, 2022-12-19)A proper understanding of the diversity of the available germplasm is an initial step for the genetic improvement of a crop through breeding. However, there is limited information on the diversity of Uganda’s yam germplasm. ...
