Root hair length evaluated
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Demand is quantified for common bean
This objective was completed ahead of schedule, but a summary is presented here. Data on production of pulses and human population suggest that per capita consumption must be declining. This raises critical questions among ...
Climbing beans with acceptable color, resistances and fixing more than 50 kg/ha N tested in African production environments
Improved lines are both developed locally and received from CIAT headquarters in Colombia. Initial testing of lines has often been carried out with the national program of Rwanda, and in CIAT’s facilities within the campus ...
Compilation of seed distribution
Improved access to quality seed of improved varieties of their choices by women farmers through various mechanisms including deliberate efforts to engage women farmers in the participatory varieties selection; empowerment ...
Common bean lines identified as resistant to soil pathogens to serve as sources for Andean beans
Greenhouse infrastructure was adapted to control and monitor constantly soil moisture through the installation of an automatic watering system that included pipes, sensors, and data loggers (Figure 1). We are reporting the ...
Phenotypic differences in adaptation to combined stress of inadequate P supply and drought (BASE 80 trial)
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Application for Release of five cassava varieties in the Lowland Humid to Mid Altitude Sub Humid Agro-ecologies of Tanzania.
The performance evaluation report of 25-28 cassava varieties was done in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 consecutively. In Tanzania they were tested in eight locations and out of these genotypes five clones showed good performance ...
Identifying genes and QTL associated with heat tolerance. Genomic regions for heat tolerance identified in interspecific progeny
Initial results with GBS suggested that introgression had occurred across a wide part of the genome when a large number of lines were considered (Figure 1). GBS also suggested that heat tolerant line INB 841 had very ...
Breeding lines with improved performance under P and water limitation. Improved lines for combined stress of drought and low P identified
Simple, 3-way and double (4 parent) crosses are created among stress tolerant parents, and including parents for high grain iron. F2 populations are screened under drought stress and promising families are harvested in ...
