Improving sorghum productivity under changing climatic conditions: A modelling approach
Climate variability and change will have far reaching consequences for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, the majority of whom depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Crop modelling can help inform the improvement ...
Value Chains and Diet Quality: A Review of Impact Pathways and Intervention Strategies
Low and middle-income countries increasingly face a triple burden of malnutrition encompassing undernutrition, micronutrient deficiency, and excessive energy consumption contributing to overweight and obesity. Food systems ...
Integrated transcriptome, small RNA and degradome sequencing approaches provide insights into Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea
Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the major biotic stresses known to limit the chickpea production worldwide. To dissect the complex mechanisms of AB resistance in chickpea, three approaches,namely, transcriptome, small RNA ...
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 ...
Origin of early maturing pigeonpea germplasm and its impact on adaptation and cropping systems
Pigeonpea breeding activities started about a century ago and for decades only late maturing cultivars dominated the global cultivation. Historically, no early maturing cultivar was available for a very long time and ...
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 ...
Mitigating Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut through A Combination of Genetic Resistance and Post-Harvest Management Practices
Aflatoxin is considered a “hidden poison” due to its slow and adverse effect on various biological pathways in humans, particularly among children, in whom it leads to delayed development, stunted growth, liver damage, and ...
Genetic dissection of grain iron and zinc concentrations in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies are wide spread in South Asia and Africa. Biofortification of food crops is a viable means of addressing micronutrient deficiencies. Lentil is an important pulse crop that provides ...
Hypoallergen Peanut Lines Identified Through Large-Scale Phenotyping of Global Diversity Panel: Providing Hope Toward Addressing One of the Major Global Food Safety Concerns
Peanut allergy is one of the serious health concern and affects more than 1% of the
world’s population mainly in Americas, Australia, and Europe. Peanut allergy is sometimes
life-threatening and adversely affect the life ...
TL III Progress Report
TL III is a visionary project that aims to improve the lives of smallholder farmers in the target region through enhanced grain legume
productivity and production. It operates under three pillars: (1) Developing improved ...
