Most edible bananas are susceptible to drought with reported yield losses up to 65%. Wild varieties of banana with the AA genome configuration (as opposed to the BB genome configuration already known…
This project was an economic study. It produced a report, outlining the economic impact of the introduction of local yam, pearl millet, sorghum, and cowpea germplasm to the agriculture of Ghana,…
The present proposal is aimed at developing and preparing pre-breed materials of eggplant (Solanum melongena) containing introgressions of wild relatives for incorporating them …
This project with The University of California, Davis in collaboration with CIMMYT agro-morphologically characterized approximately 8000 accessions of wheat for 18 agronomic traits. During the…
This project with ICARDA evaluated 1128 accessions of Lathyrus sativus and 142 Lathyrus cicercia for B-ODAP neurotoxin content and 109 accessions were evaluated for the effect of environmental…
This project with National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC), Pakistan agro-morphologically characterized and evaluated 357 accessions of chickpea for resistance to aschochyta. The project also…
This project aimed to render the genetic variation contained in wild sorghum more usable. To do so, the Australian public sorghum pre-breeding team developed back-cross populations with wild sorghum…
Throughout this project with ICARDA, Syria evaluated 12,300 accessions of faba bean, chickpea, lentil, grass pea, wheat and barley for different traits including resistance to disease and insect…
During this project with the Institute of Plant Genetic Resources, Bulgaria characterized and evaluated 50 cowpea and 37 common bean accessions for resistance to diseases, resistance to insect pests,…
This rice pre-breeding project generated four information products, organizing five categories of data, in addition to the rice germplasm itself. Nearly 300 accessions of rice were genotyped and…
