This project completed the regeneration of 150 accessions of yam. The characterization of morphological traits was studied for the 125 accessions that were deemed viable. The project also aimed to…
This project facilitated the regeneration of 680 accessions of yam. The distribution of selected varieties across southern Benin greatly enhanced yam genetic diversity in the region.
This project facilitated the regeneration of 97 accessions of yam, 52 accessions of taro, 1,230 accessions of maize, and 500 accessions of rice. Each crop was monitored for certain characteristics,…

This project established a relationship with RBG Kew, an organization that helps the Crop Trust develop, execute, monitor, and evaluate project activities. For example, Kew assists with the review of…
The proposal aims to support the grasspea and finger millet pre-breeding components by developing the current finger millet and grass pea Germinate databases created under the CWR project and…
We propose to introduce superior pre-bred materials generated by the Kenyan finger millet pre-breeding program to the neighboring countries of Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia. We will transfer the…
This proposal aims to leverage the genetic and genomic resources and knowledge base to develop a molecular breeding platform for rapid varietal development in grass pea, thereby helping farmers to…
This project collected and regenerated 50 wild accessions of cowpea, 9 wild accessions of finger millet, and 33 wild accessions of pearl millet in Malawi. Safety duplications were made and deposited…
