Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
Stakeholder Involvement in Transdisciplinary Research: Lessons from Three Projects on Sustainable Land Management in a North-South Setting
Sustainability problems call for collaborative solution finding. Lessons learnt from the transdisciplinary designs of three projects in the Global South include the need for a prephase to build balanced ownership, ...
Genotype × Environment Studies on Resistance to Late Leaf Spot and Rust in Genomic Selection Training Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Foliar fungal diseases especially late leaf spot (LLS) and rust are the important production constraints across the peanut growing regions of the world. A set of 340 diverse peanut genotypes that includes accessions from ...
Breeding Biofortified Pearl Millet Varieties and Hybrids to Enhance Millet Markets for Human Nutrition
Pearl millet is an important food crop in the arid and semi-arid tropical regions of Africa and Asia. Iron and zinc deficiencies are widespread and serious public health problems worldwide, including in India and Africa. ...
The genome of cultivated peanut provides insight into legume karyotypes, polyploid evolution and crop domestication
High oil and protein content make tetraploid peanut a leading oil and food legume. Here we report a high-quality peanut genome sequence, comprising 2.54 Gb with 20 pseudomolecules and 83,709 protein-coding gene models. We ...
Poverty eradication and food security through agriculture in Africa: Rethinking objectives and entry points
Agriculture in Africa is expected to meet the dual objectives of providing food and helping people to escape poverty. African agriculture is dominated by smallholdings and donors generally target their agricultural support ...
Who is quitting? An analysis of the dis-adoption of climate smart sorghum varieties in Tanzania
Purpose
New agricultural technologies are continuously generated and promoted for adoption by farmers with the expectation that they bring about higher benefits than older technologies. Yet, depending on the perceived ...
GLDC Plan of Work and Budget 2021
With the start of CY 2021, CRP-GLDC presents its annually prepared work and budget plan covering five flagship programs; FP1 Priority Setting & Impact Acceleration, FP3 Integrated Farm and Household Management, FP4 Variety ...
Ex-ante Poverty impacts of Research and Technology Options for Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
In 2017, ex ante evaluation of GLDC technologies was based on in terms of the present value of net economic benefits (NPV), internal rates of return (IRR), and benefit-cost ratios (BCR). This year, 2018, the evaluation is ...
Photoperiod Response of Annual Wild Species and Cultivated Chickpea on Phenology, Growth, and Yield Traits
Frequent utilization of wild Cicer species in
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) improvement
programs, as well as the regeneration of these
wild species for efficient conservation in genebanks,
is hindered due to photoperiod ...
