Taro Leaf Blight—A Threat to Food Security
Taro leaf blight (caused by the Oomycete Phytophthora colocasiae) is a disease of major importance in many regions of the world where taro is grown. Serious outbreaks of taro leaf blight in Samoa in 1993 and in the last few years in Cameroon, Ghana and Nigeria continue to demonstrate the devastating impact of this disease on the livelihoods and food security of small farmers and rural communiti...
متن کاملAnalysis of AFLP Variation of Taro Population and Markers Associated with Leaf Blight Resistance Gene
The development of molecular techniques, in particular the use of molecular markers have been used to identify markers linked to useful traits and made great advances in recent years. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was used to analyze the geographical differentiation, phylogenetic relationships and to identify molecular markers linked to taro leaf blight resistance genes...
متن کاملLeaf Blight Tolerant Taro Varieties: Promoting Grower Adoption and Food Processor Acceptance
The statewide team of project investigators conducted various educational workshops, field demonstrations, and applied research projects, often in collaboration with CTAHR Researchers, Extension Specialists, Extension Agents, support staff and volunteers, and with industry cooperators. Through these activities, 434 growers and gardeners were made aware of the disease tolerant taro varieties. A ...
متن کاملSNP-Based Linkage Mapping for Validation of QTLs for Resistance to Ascochyta Blight in Lentil
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a self-pollinating, diploid, annual, cool-season, food legume crop that is cultivated throughout the world. Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Ascochyta lentis Vassilievsky, is an economically important and widespread disease of lentil. Development of cultivars with high levels of durable resistance provides an environmentally acceptable and economically feasible...
متن کاملLeaf Area, Leaf Area Index and Light Extinction Coefficient for Taro Culture
Taro, Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott, is the most important species from the Araceae family. The leaf area (LA) is important for the interception of solar radiation and for the biomass production. The light extinction coefficient (k) is related to the leaf inclination angle, leaf arrangement, regarding the Leaf Area Index (LAI), providing an indication of the plants efficiency on intercepting ...
