Abiotic stresses, such as heat and flooding, could amplify and become more irregular in Africa with climate change. Oryza glaberrima, an orphan crop species commonly known as African Rice, may…
Recent model-based estimates indicate that bean production areas and yields will be drastically reduced by drought, increased rainfall, and especially by high temperatures if no adaptation measures…
In West-Central Asia and North Africa, low productivity of barley and grass pea is caused by drought, heat, salinity, diseases, and insects. This project oversaw the introgression of valuable genes…
This project supported a training and research workshop for selected COGENT members. Training was given on the ACIAR-published procedure for embryo culture. Embryo harvest and culture protocol were…
In the next few decades it is anticipated that climate change will intensify around the world, resulting in more extreme weather such as higher temperatures and more variable rainfall. Some of the…
This project evaluated wild relatives of alfalfa for drought stress tolerance collected from primary (Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan) and secondary centers (Chiles, Peru, Bolivia). This trait will be of…
