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…
This project with National Agricultural Research Institute, Papua New Guinea, evaluated 910 sweet potato accessions for resistance to scab and tolerance to cold. The project identified 32 and 7…
The cost of conservation, the use of plant genetic resources, and forward-planning the regeneration of accessions hinges upon genebank understanding of relative seed longevity. Unfortunately, the…
This project facilitated IRRI's order for an automatic rice cleaner and sorter. It has made the cleaning process more objective and reproducible while saving labor costs.
Seeds for Resilience project in Ethiopia include addressing genebank operations backlogs (e.g. viability testing, regeneration and safety duplication), adopting a quality management system (QMS) and…
