Safeguarding crop diversity for food security: Pre-breeding complemented with Innovative Finance: the finger millet component

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…

Safeguarding crop diversity for food security: Pree-breeding complemented with innovative finance: Database component

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…

Data management system in the national genebank of Bhutan

The Crop Trust through the CWR project provides support to the national genebank of Bhutan to strengthen its genebank information systems.

Development and characterization of eggplant pre-bred materials for adaptation to climate change

The project is aimed at developing and characterizing pre-bred materials of eggplant containing introgressions of wild relatives for incorporating them in breeding pipelines in order to develop new…

Safeguarding crop diversity for food security: Pre-breeding complemented with Innovative Finance: the grasspea component

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…

Carrot germplasm development and farmer training for production in stressful environments

Bangladesh and Pakistan have initiated carrot improvement projects in some of their major agricultural universities, and the World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg, legal name: Asian Vegetable Research and…

The use of crop wild relatives to develop drought tolerant alfalfa and its extension to subsistence farmers in Kazakhstan, China and Chile.

In the next few decades it is anticipated that climate change will intensify around the world, resulting in more extreme weather such as higher temperatures and more variable rainfall. Some of the…

Using Bean populations derived from P. acutifolius to advance toward generation of new bean varieties and discerning the traits and genetic base associated to heat tolerance

In the first phase of the project, new wild accessions from P. acutifolius were identified as tolerant to high temperature, under greenhouse and field conditions, and were crossed to common bean…

Utilization of introgression lines derived from wild Cajanus species for pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) improvement

Pigeonpea is a widely adapted food legume crop cultivated throughout the semi-arid tropics and subtropics. It is of considerable importance in South Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America…
