Grant No
GS11015
Project Description
This project involved the collection of diversity in geographical gaps. These accessions were characterised morphologically and genotyped when possible. Field days were organised to allow farmers to analyse and access the plants. The accessions were secured in genebanks outside the country, and the generated information was made publicly available.
