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 ...

Community typology framed by normative climate for agricultural innovation, empowerment, and poverty reduction
This paper employs the concepts of gender norms and agency to advance understanding of
inclusive agricultural innovation processes and their contributions to empowerment and poverty
reduction at the village level. We present ...

Jarial, S., Blümmel, M., Soumana, I., Ravi, D., Issa, S., Whitbread, A. and Tabo, R. 2016. Comparison of cowpea and groundnut haulm trading in urban and rural fodder markets in Niger. Presented at the Pan African Grain ...
Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
Genome-wide association analysis of Mexican bread wheat landraces for resistance to yellow and stem rust
Deploying under-utilized landraces in wheat breeding has been advocated to accelerate
genetic gains in current era of genomics assisted breeding. Mexican bread wheat landraces
(Creole wheats) represent an important resource ...
Effect of phosphorus (P) application on nutrient uptake, biomass, pod and seed formation in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp])
Phosphorous (P) deficiency is a serious problem which limits the
productivity of cowpea in sub-Saharan Africa.
• P deficiency affects negatively the formation of nodule (1, 2) and the
symbiotic fixation of N2 by limiting ...

From best fit technologies to best fit scaling: incorporating and evaluating factors affecting the adoption of grain legumes in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Sub-Saharan Africa is characterised by diverse and heterogeneous environments
(World Bank, 2009), languages, cultures, institutions and histories (Hopkins, 2009)
and farming systems (Giller et al., 2011b; Tittonell et al., ...
