Sequencing chickpea genomes: genotyping and high-quality reference genomes for association studies and breeding
Natural populations of species closely related to cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) were
identified and collected systematically using ecological principles from their native range in
southeastern Turkey. Collection ...
Conduct adaptive trials in target sites (locations) in collaboration with NARS
Fifty-seven introgression lines (ILs) that combine early maturity with foliar fungal disease resistance were shared with six national partners, and multi-location evaluation of these ILs in disease hotspots recorded ...
Cooperation, collective action and natural resources management in Burkina Faso
This paper presents a detailed description of the applied methodology used to study collective action in natural resource management. Data were collected in 48 villages in northeastern Burkina Faso, at the community, ...
Integrated production functions for main crop fields in Pontieba, south-western Burkina Faso: Empirical estimations for efficiency assessment and further integrated modelling
Understanding efficiencies of the uses of major inputs for smallholder cropping systems such as labour and fertilizer under heterogeneous site conditions are important for sustainable intensification management and policy. ...
Re-sequencing of Foc isolates representing races to understand the pathogenicity mechanism
Total 56 isolates of Foc representing different races and locations in India where chickpea is grown has been used for the re-sequencing study. Raw data was subjected to filtration and correction steps using Trimmomatic ...
Genome-Enabled Prediction Models for Yield Related Traits in Chickpea
Genomic selection (GS) unlike marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) predicts breeding
values of lines using genome-wide marker profiling and allows selection of lines prior
to field-phenotyping, thereby shortening the breeding ...
Ecosystem management can mitigate vegetation shifts induced byclimate change in West Africa
tThe welfare of people in the tropics and sub-tropics strongly depends on goods and services that savannaecosystems supply, such as food and livestock production, fuel wood, and climate regulation. Flows ofthese services ...
Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
Comparison of aboveground vegetation and soil seed bank composition at sites of different grazing intensity around a savanna-woodland watering point in West Africa
Grazing removes a plant’s aboveground vegetative and reproductive tissues and can modify the soil seed bank, potentially impacting the restoration of preferred species. Knowledge about aboveground vegetation and species ...
Restoration of Degraded Lands in West Africa Sahel: Review of experiences in Burkina Faso and Niger
This is a comprehensive literature review of land restoration activities in West Africa Sahel.
Water constraints and the inherent soil poverty are the major factors that limit crop yields and productivity of cropping systems ...
