Testing the GLDC scaling framework: Design, Performance, and Gaps
Accelerating the adoption of new technology – improved varieties and management practices – by smallholders remains a challenge for agricultural research and extension systems, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The ...
Assessing crop model improvements through comparison of sorghum (sorghum bicolor L. moench) simulation models: A case study of West African varieties
Better defining niches for the photoperiod sensitive sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) varieties ofWest Africa into the local cropping system might help to improve the resilience of food production in theregion. In ...
Ex-ante nutrition security impacts of Research and Technology Options for Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
In this report, GLDC technologies were assessed and ranked based on their potential impact on nutrition security. Key findings suggest that in west and central Africa, the technologies with the largest positive impacts on ...
Baseline values for GLDC crops in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia
Datasets to update baseline values in the International Model for the Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) for GLDC crops in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia
Introgression of striga resistance into popular Sudanese sorghum varieties using marker assisted selection
Witchweed (Strigaspp.) is one of the most important cereals production constraints globally and is projected to worsen with anticipated climate change. It is especially a devastating parasitic weed in Sub-Saharan Africa ...
DNA markers reveal genetic structure and localized diversity of Ethiopian sorghum landraces
North Eastern Ethiopia is a major sorghum-growing region. A total of 415 sorghum landraces were
sampled to represent the range of agro-ecologies (three altitude ranges) as well as spatial
heterogeneity, that is, 4 zones: ...
Plant growth-promotion by Streptomyces spp. in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)
Seven strains of Streptomyces spp.: BCA-546 (KF770898), BCA-659 (KF770889), BCA-667 (KF770888),
BCA-689 (KF770899), BCA-698 (KF770900), CAI-133 (KF770895) and CAI-8 (KF770890), reported earlier
to produce biocontrol and ...
Molecular evaluation of Ethiopian sweet sorghum germplasm and their contribution to regional breeding programs
Sweet sorghum is an excellent feedstock for ethanol production and is also used for food and livestock feed. Germplasm collection
and characterization in sweet sorghum is a crucial step towards breeding and development of ...
