    Abstract/Description
    Nineteen white yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) genotypes were grown in four agroecological zones in Nigeria for 2 years to study their responses to yam virus diseases, and to investigate the influence of genotype × environment (G × E) interactions on their reactions to virus infection, using the Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interactions (AMMI) Statistical Model. Environments, genotypes and G × E interactions were all highly significant (P < 0.0001) for the virus diseases. The G × E interactions accounted for 21.4% of the treatment sum of squares, and influenced the relative ranking of the genotypes across the eight environments. Genotypes TDr 93-32 and TDr 93-27 were identified as the most stable genotypes, while TDr 1621 and TDr 1640 were shown to have resistance to virus diseases. The study also identified Jos with high yam virus disease severity as the most appropriate site for the screening of D. rotundata genotypes.

      Survey of the incidence and distribution of five viruses infecting yams in the major yam producing zones in Benin 

      Eni, A.O.; Hughes, Jacqueline d'Arros; Rey, M.E.C. (2008)
      Surveys were conducted in 2004 and 2005 to determine the incidence and distribution of viruses infecting yams in fourmajor yam-producing agro-ecological zones in Benin. Yam leaves collected from 69 fields and one experimental screen house were indexed for Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Dioscorea mottle virus (DMoV), Yam mild mosaic virus (YMMV), Yam mosaic virus (YMV) and yam-infecting badnaviruses [Dioscorea alata bacilliform virus (DaBV) and Dioscorea sansibarensis bacilliform virus (DsBV)] by ...

      Virus diseases of chickpea 

      Kumar, L.; Waliyar, F.; Kumari, S. (2008)
      Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the most important pulse crop and is an important source of dietary protein. It is mainly grown in Indian subcontinent, Ethiopia, Turkey, Mexico, and some regions around the Mediterranean and in the Middle East. Recently the crop is gaining prominence in Canada and Australia. Two types of chickpea are grown commonly, the ‘desi’type in Indian subcontinent and ‘kabuli’ type in West Asia and Mediterranean region, and this type is gaining popularity. Several viruses ...
