Revealing plant ideotypes amenable to increased planting density to boost the productivity in pearl millet through public-private partnership in Asia and Africa
The innovation is in trying to mimic in pearl millet, in a quicker manner, a similar increase in sowing density that has happened over a century in maize. The innovation would consist in screening and using donor parents ...
Identification of phosphorus use efficient germplasm in lentil, chickpea and pigeonpea
The project will engage in the characterization of germplasm for phosphorous uptake and utilization efficiency traits, and mapping genes/QTLs for phosphorous uptake and utilization efficiency traits using association mapping.
Crop Network Groups to further the crop breeding, testing and delivery pipelines in Africa and Asia
The Crop Network Group (CNG) is a crop improvement network of multi-disciplinary teams from NARS, CG, Advanced Research Institutes (ARIs), NGOs, private seed sector and processing sector. CNG is a platform for product ...
Boosting pearl millet productivity by crop density increases
The proposal builds on a few years of yield trials showing a positive response, genotype-dependent, to increasing sowing density on grain and stover productivity in pearl millet. These trials were conceived from the ...
Multi-locations testing (MLT) Network of GLDC crops in India to enhance genetic gains
Multi-location testing (MLT) Network is proposed to generate data for line advancements, parental selection and hot spot screenig for biotic and abiotic stresses. MLT data driven line advancements and hot spot screenign ...
