To combat Ethiopia’s 2010 wheat stripe rust epidemic, a fast-track crop research and rust-resistant seed distribution program not only delivered future protection to the farmers, but also brought higher yields and incomes.
Stripe (yellow) rust disease threatens wheat crops every growing season. In recent years, outbreaks have become more frequent and severe with climate change, decimating harvests and leaving smallholder farmers devastated.
First Phase Activities Report on Ph.D. Research Fellowship (Sufian Suliman Mohammed), from 10 March-10 June 2013
The aim of this Ph.D. study is to introduce high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit combination “5+10” into some Sudanese wheat cultivars for improve the bread-making quality under heat stress conditions, using marker ...
Monitoring and simulation of soil erosion in the Ethiopian Highlands on a plot scale
Soil erosion is the main driving force for global land degradation. Soil erosion measurements
are an important tool to assess soil loss under site-specific conditions and evaluate the impact
of changes in land use on its ...

Do faba bean (Vicia faba L.) accessions from environments with contrasting seasonal moisture availabilities differ in stomatal characteristics and related traits?
Drought is a major constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production, and there are many mechanisms by which leaves can regulate water loss. Our primary objective was to test if the origin of the faba bean accessions, ...
Length of Growing Period over Africa: Variability and Trends from 30 Years of NDVI Time Series
The spatial distribution of crops and farming systems in Africa is determined by the duration of the period during which crop and livestock water requirements are met. The length of growing period (LGP) is normally assessed ...
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (Didymella fabae Jellis and Punithalingam)
is one of the most important foliar diseases that
affect the quality and seed yield of faba bean (Vicia faba
L.) worldwide. Breeding for resistance to Ascochyta
blight ...
