Then he went for his MSc degree in 2012 at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mak.ac.ug\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Makerere University<\/a>, Kampala, Uganda, with an IITA scholarship. His thesis was on \u201c<em>Gene transcript analysis in drought stressed \u2018AAA\u2019 and \u2018ABB\u2019 bananas using next generation sequencing technologies.<\/em>\u201d\n\nThe other student, Hassan Shabani Mduma, obtained his MSc in December 2017 and his certificate on 12 July 2018. His Master\u2019s in Life Science (Sustainable Agriculture) was supported by IITA and obtained at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nm-aist.ac.tz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Institut africain de science et de technologie Nelson Mandela<\/a>, Arusha, Tanzania. His thesis was entitled \u201c<em>Role of plant parasitic nematodes (Pratylenchus goodeyi Sher &amp; Allen) on Fusarium wilt disease incidence and severity on banana.<\/em>\u201d\n\nHis supervisors were Dr Ernest R. Mbega and Prof Patrick Ndakidemi, co-supervised by Dr Allan Brown and Prof Rony Swennen. Hassan started as a research supervisor at the IITA banana breeding team in Arusha in 2012.\n\nShabani is part of the IITA breeding program at Arusha, Tanzania, focusing on breeding\u00a0<em>Mchare<\/em>\u00a0bananas, another type of a highland cooking banana, in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology.\n\nMoses is now a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Plant Pathology, Kansas State University, while Hassan continues his research at IITA, Tanzania.\n<h3>Esther Masumba gets her PhD in Genetics<\/h3>\nEsther Andrew Masumba successfully defended her PhD thesis in Genetics in June at the Forestry and Biotechnology Institute of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.up.ac.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">University of Pretoria<\/a>, South Africa.

One, named Namikonga, is tolerant of cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and susceptible to cassava mosaic disease (CMD), while the other, Albert, is resistant to CMD and susceptible to CBSD.\n\nThese contrasting attributes enabled Esther to genetically map the positions of contributing disease resistance genetic factors on the genome of cassava. This will ultimately enable molecular breeders to track these portions of the genome and ensure that future, improved varieties carry the advantageous segments.\n\nThis will benefit breeding programs in CMD- and CBSD-affected countries in South, East, and Central Africa, which have experienced declines in yields. Such markers will also help other countries such as Nigeria, the largest producer of cassava, prepare for the arrival of CBSD, by breeding for resistance.\n\nFerguson said \u201cEsther has worked extremely hard during her PhD studies, has mastered many new skills, particularly in the sphere of bioinformatics, and has enhanced her understanding of genetics. She has produced an excellent thesis and will no doubt make very valuable contributions to the Tanzanian Agriculture Research Institute as she returns to her position at the Institute, based at Kibaha.
