Maize productivity and profitability in Conservation Agriculture systems across agro-ecological regions in Zimbabwe: A review of knowledge and practice
Conservation agriculture (CA) is increasingly promoted in southern Africa as a strategy to improve food
security and reverse soil degradation in the face of climate change. However, the performance of CA
under different ...
Sources of resistance in the existing breeding germplasm will be identified for incorporation in the elite cultivar/variety
In order to identify new sources of resistance to net blotch, a FIGS subset consisting of 96 barley accessions was screened with a mixture of 20-isolates of net blotch collected from different agro-climatic regions of ...
Improvement of dual purpose barley for forage and straw for livestock
A total of 660 barley accessions representing land races, advanced genotypes and cultivars from different regions of the world were screened for straw traits like dry matter, Ash content, organic matter, nitrogen, crude ...
Evaluation of designated hybrid seed parents of pearl millet for blast resistance
One hundred sixty designated B-lines (maintainers of male sterile lines) of pearl millet were screened for blast
resistance under greenhouse conditions along with a resistant (ICMR 06444) and a susceptible (ICMB 95444)

Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of a heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10) from Pennisetum glaucum (L.), a C4 cereal plant from the semi-arid tropics
Heat shock proteins (Hsp10) belong to the
ubiquitous family of heat-shock molecular chaperones
found in the organelles of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Chaperonins assist the folding of nascent and stressdestabilized
proteins. ...

yield were undertaken on sandy acid soil field from 2012 to 2015 at ICRISAT Sahelian center (ISC)-
Sadore, Niger. The ...
Past and present dynamics of sorghum and pearl millet diversity in Mount Kenya region
Crop populations in smallholder farming systems are shaped by the interaction of biological,
ecological, and social processes, occurring on different spatiotemporal scales.
Understanding these dynamics is fundamental for ...
