Crop Wild Relatives Crosses: Multi-Location Assessment in Durum Wheat, Barley, and Lentil
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are a good source of useful alleles for climate change adaptation.
Here, 19 durum wheat, 24 barley, and 24 lentil elites incorporating CWR in their pedigrees were yield
tested against commercial ...
Global changes, livestock and vulnerability: the social construction of markets as an adaptive strategy
Nowadays, livestock producers in Sahel have to deal not only with climate variability but also with changes in land use and policies that restrict access to pasture and increase their vulnerability. At the same time, the ...

Rice is a major strategic commodity in Senegal government's options, it accounts for 34% of national cereal consumption; from which 50% of cereals consumed in urban areas and 24% in rural areas. In Senegal, rainfed rice ...
Technical report of DIIVA trials in Senegal and identification of genotypes best suited for heat stress tolerance
Annual technical report of DIIVA trials conducted in Senegal during the season 2019-2020, and identification of the best adapted CWR-derived lines to the extreme temperature of Senegal river.
Durum Wheat Breeding: In the Heat of the Senegal River
Global warming may cause +4 °C temperature increases before the end of this century. Heat tolerant bred-germplasm remains the most promising method to ensure farm productivity under this scenario. A global set of 384 durum ...
Heat Tolerance of Durum Wheat (Tritcum durum Desf.) Elite Germplasm Tested along the Senegal River
The Senegal River basin (Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, and Senegal) is a key agricultural production area in
sub-Saharan Africa. Here, rice fields are left fallow during the cooler winter season, when the night temperatures ...
