Though pearl millet is a cross pollinated crop and thus has a wide natural genetic diversity, the benefits of gene assemblies available for biotic and abiotic tolerances in wild backgrounds have not…
This project oversaw the phenotyping in chickpea's wild progenitor species for climate resilience. Since the cultivated crop has narrow genetic and phenotypic diversity, introducing new, wild sources…
This project organized the optimal and systematic use of biotic and abiotic stress resistance traits identified in sweet potato wild germplasm to generate better-adapted parental stocks for future…
This project facilitated the expansion of the genetic diversity of wheat though the use wheat crop wild relatives. Introgressions from wild hexaploid wheat were transferred into durum wheat,…
This project supported gap filling of Brazillian crop wild relatives in ex situ collections. Gap analysis was based upon updated information of natural species distribution and predicted impacts of…
This project in Georgia facilitated the collection of 50 populations of wild oat, barley, grass pea, lentil, apple, alfalfa, pea, wheat, and vetch relatives. Seeds were processed for incorporation to…
This project aided the collection of crop wild relatives in Viet Nam. Forty-five (45) accessions of banana, 47 accessions of cowpea, 53 accessions of rice, 42 accessions of pigeon pea, 16 accessions…
This project oversaw the collection of wild relatives of carrot, grass pea, alfalfa, wheat, and vetch in Georgia. In total, collections were conducted from 151 populations, targeting 27 species.
This project facilitated the installation of the GRIN-Global genebank management information system at CIMMYT. The new system allows all the genebank's data to be stored in one place, in one…
This grant marks an agreement between the Crop Trust and other organizations and genebanks about the GeneSys online portal and database that provides information about gene bank accessions to…
