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…
