Development of GxExM specific, economically most viable options for rabi-sorghum belt agroecologies.
Environmental constrains has been characterized (Kholova et al. 2013, attached) and the lucrative adaptive traits (stay-green) under the current management in given agro-ecologies identified (Kholova et al. 2014). The ...
A Web-based Platform for Enhancing Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) in Research for Development - Toward Achieving Development Outcomes
Achieving efficiency in large and complex research for development programs (R4D) is a significant
challenge. In 2015, as a response to the lack of a shared monitoring and evaluation system for CGIAR
Research Programs ...
Development of early generation mapping population for snapping trait in fingermillet
Total 200 F2 segregated lines ((Ex-Alupe-purple x KNE814) were planted for DNA extraction in polyhouse for DNA extraction at ICRAF, Nairobi, Kenya and later transferred to the Kiboko ICRISAT research station for characterization ...
Marker detection for fertility restoration gene in WCA sorghum
A total of 3 859; 1 574 and 4 119 SNP markers were used for Rf2 (DT298xCK60A), Rf3 (FambeA x Lata) and Rf4 (FambeA x DT298) genetic map construction, respectively, Rf1 (CK60A x Lata) was removed from analyses. The QTL ...
Impact of salinity on physiological and biochemical traits in pearl millet
Salinity is one of the most severe environmental factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops in arid and semi-arid reg ions. Accumulation of excess salts in the rhizospheric environment results in disturbed ...
No need to breed for enhanced colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve low-P adaptation of West African sorghums
Aims Western Africa (WA) sorghums are predominantly
cultivated under low plant available phosphorus (P)
soil conditions with a diverse population of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) present. This study aims to
determine ...
Tester Effect on Combining Ability and Its Relationship with Line Performance per se for Grain Iron and Zinc Densities in Pearl Millet
Development of inbred lines with high general combining ability (GCA) is an important aspect of hybrid breeding research. Although broad-based open-pollinated populations (varieties and composites) are widely used to assess ...
Review Meeting Dryland Cereals Phase 1 and Extension Gender Phase
The DC Gender Strategy identified, in 2013, the gender gap - differences among men andwomen in a range of areas. (1) ownership and use rights over resources including land, water and livestock, (2) capacity to capture ...
