DNA markers reveal genetic structure and localized diversity of Ethiopian sorghum landraces
North Eastern Ethiopia is a major sorghum-growing region. A total of 415 sorghum landraces were
sampled to represent the range of agro-ecologies (three altitude ranges) as well as spatial
heterogeneity, that is, 4 zones: ...
Mechanisms and diversity of resistance to sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata
Sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata, is one of the important pests of
postrainy season sorghums. Of the 90 sorghum genotypes evaluated for
resistance to this pest, RHRB 12, ICSV 713, 25026, 93046 and 25027,
IS 33844-5, ...
Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic
coordinates ...
Geographic patterns of phenotypic diversity in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) landraces from North Eastern Ethiopia
Understanding the pattern of genetic variability is an important component of germplasm collection and
conservation as well as the crop’s improvement process including the selection of parents for making
new genetic ...
Molecular and phenotypic diversity of ICARDA spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) collection
Plant breeders are interested in using diverse genotypes in hybridization that can segregate for traits of importance with possibility of selection and genetic gain. Information on molecular and agro-morphological diversity ...
Farmer participatory varietal selection in pearl millet: Experience across some states of Northern Nigeria
Farmers participation in the process of on-farm research does not only enrich the speed up of
information gathering, but also result in large scale adoption of the product of research. A small farmer
deals with a variable ...
