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…
This project oversaw the collection of cereals, grain, and legume crop genepools in Spain. Twenty-two (22) accessions of oat, 12 accessions of barley, 50 accessions of grass pea, 22 accessions of…
This project facilitated the collection of wild relatives in Sudan with a goal of 89 total accessions. The seeds were then extracted, cleaned, dried, and tested. Viable seeds were sent to the APGRC…
This project aimed to improve the IT environment for documentation at CePaCT by upgrading and adding to the genebank IT infrastructure. Current staff were provided user instruction about the system…
This project enabled the SPGRC to install a web-based information platform, linking all its members. Training for users in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, and Seychelles was included as…
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 aimed to address the low productivity of finger millet in East Africa through the use of wild relatives. The introgression of adaptive traits, such as tolerance to drought and resistance…
This project collected a total of 119 populations of wild relatives of oat, barley, finger millet, sweet potato, rice, pearl millet, alfalfa, carrot, grass pea, apple, eggplant, and banana in Nepal.…
