Gender in Agroforestry: Implications for Action-Research
Women in sub-Saharan Africa are major contributors
to the agricultural economy, but their lower access
than men to productive resources and opportunities,
limits them from achieving optimal production. This
paper gives a ...
Influence of putative forest refugia and biogeographic barriers on the level and distribution of genetic variation in an African savannah tree, Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A. Juss
Phylogeographic studies of tropical and subtropical
tree species provide an ideal method to study the role of forest
refugia in the structuring of genetic diversity in contemporary
populations. To date, most studies have ...
Correlations, Path Coefficient Analysis and Heritability for Quantitative Traits in Finger Millet Landraces
Knowledge of association between traits and heritability is important in breeding for purposes of effective trait selection. Such information on finger millet in east Africa is very limited. This study was intended to ...
Pigeonpea breeding in eastern and southern Africa: challenges and opportunities
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millspaugh) is an important multipurpose grain legume crop primarily grown in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In Africa, the crop is grown for several purposes ...
Assessment of genetic diversity of sorghum [sorghum bicolor (l.) Moench] germplasm in East and Central Africa
The study of genetic diversity in crops has a strong impact on plant breeding and maintenance of genetic resources. Comprehensive knowledge of the genetic biodiversity of cultivated and wild sorghum germplasm is an important ...
La parité hommes-femmes dans le secteur agroforestier: Incidences pour la recherche-action
Les femmes en Afrique subsaharienne contribuent
énormément à l’économie agricole, toutefois, leur
accès limité, par rapport aux hommes, aux
ressources et opportunités de production, les
empêchent d’atteindre une production ...
