The development of new sorghum diversity through use of wild and weedy species offers a novel and promising entry point. Useful diversity for adaptation will be developed by employing two, mutually …
This project will support the Center for Pacific Crops and Trees (CePaCT) by providing financial assistance for the rehabilitation efforts of the Pacific plant genebank. It proposes to upgrade the…
This project is intended to provide 3 years of financial support towards the essential operations of the ICRAF-CIFOR Tree Genetic Resources Unit (GRU), focusing on the essential seed conservation,…
Recognizing stakeholders' need for a better knowledge of the existing diversity at farmers’ level, as well as of farmers’ preferences for yam, LAAPT has provided on-the-job training and technical…
This project combined favorable characteristics, such as Blight tolerance and bacterial wilt resistance, and adaptation to climate change from potato crop wild relatives into new potato germplasm.…
Though pearl millet is a cross pollinated crop and thus has a wide natural genetic diversity, the benefits of gene assemblies available for biotic and abiotic tolerances in wild backgrounds have not…
This project organized the optimal and systematic use of biotic and abiotic stress resistance traits identified in sweet potato wild germplasm to generate better-adapted parental stocks for future…
This project supported research into new genetic and bioinformatics tools that enable genebank managers to equip breeders with small subsets of genetic material that have a high likelihood of…
To respond to the need for better knowledge on seed processing and conservation techniques, as well as on data gathering, management and publication, training sessions have been provided to the staff…
This project involved the Global Crop Diversity Trust and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture organizing the first working group meeting of the CGIAR germplasm health units &…
