Combining ability patterns among West African pearl millet landracesand prospects for pearl millet hybrid breeding
Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) is an important hybrid crop in India. However, to date limitedpearl millet hybrid development has been undertaken in West Africa (WA), which is the center of pearlmillet origin ...
Report on yield results from dual-purpose crops trials in 2014 in the Wa-Bobo-Sikasso transect in the West African Sahel and Dry Savannas
Preliminary report on yield results from dual-purpose crops trials in 2014 in the Wa-Bobo-Sikasso transect in the West African Sahel and Dry Savannas
Simulation of Soil Erosion to Support Sustainable Land Management in the Mo River Basin (Togo, West Africa)
This paper examines possible management pathways to address soil erosion issues due to
improper land management and landform patterns. Therefore, a landscape management and
planning tool (LAMPT), a spatially explicit model ...
Parklands for buffering climate risk and sustaining agricultural production in the Sahel of West Africa
In the Sahelian zone of West Africa, crops grown under a
discontinuous cover of scattered trees dominate many
landscapes and constitute the so-called parklands. These
systems reflect the ecological knowledge of the farmers ...

Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
