Overcoming Phosphorus Deficiency in West African Pearl Millet and Sorghum Production Systems: Promising Options for Crop Improvement
West Africa (WA) is among the most food insecure regions. Rapid human population
growth and stagnating crop yields greatly contribute to this fact. Poor soil fertility,
especially low plant available phosphorus (P) is ...
Genotypic and phenotypic changes in wild barley (Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum) during a period of climate change in Jordan
Climate change and other anthropogenic
disturbances can lead to the loss of genetic variation
and thereby affect evolutionary potential and survival
of plant populations in the wild. We examined these
predictions in the ...
Current knowledge and breeding perspectives for the miracle plant Synsepalum dulcificum (Schum. et Thonn.) Daniell
Synsepalum dulcificum, an African native shrub, is a valuable species. All plant parts are of
medicinal importance whereas the fruit known as magic berry, miracle berry, or sweet berry is consumed
fresh. Surprisingly, very ...
Effects of early mycorrhization and colonized root length on low-soilphosphorus resistance of West African pearl millet
Phosphorus (P) deficiency at early seedling stages is a critical determinant for survival and final
yield of pearl millet in multi-stress Sahelian environments. Longer roots and colonization with arbuscular
mycorrhizal ...
Climate variability and status of the production and diversity of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) in the arid zone of northwest Benin
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an important staple food in semi-arid tropics which contribute to food security and poverty alleviation in Benin. However, its production is seriously facing enormous abiotic and ...

Sustainable intensification of agriculture for human prosperity and global sustainability
There is an ongoing debate on what constitutes sustainable intensification of agriculture (SIA). In this paper, we propose that a paradigm for sustainable intensification can be defined and translated into an operational ...
