Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1982/83
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
Conduct Participatory Variety Selection (PVS) trials of promising varieties across target agroecologies in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya
PVS trials were established and evaluated in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda. In Tanzania for example, six varieties advanced from HOPE 1 were evaluated in 4 districts, each district with 15 trials. All the six candidate ...
What role for legumes in sustainable intensification? – case studies in Western Kenya and Northern Ghana for PROIntensAfrica
N2Africa was selected as a case study within the PROIntensAfrica initiative. In this case study, N2Africa focused on the potential role of legumes in sustainable intensification. The case study was conducted in two of the ...
Pest Risk Analysis for Tuta absoluta
Tuta absoluta is a devastating pest not only for tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) production but also for potato (Solanum tuberosum). In tomato most feeding damage is done to the leaves and stems of tomatoes. Larvae ...
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 ...
Editing Cassava Sweet genes for Resistance to Xanthomonas Report
The sweet genes are transporters and a source of sucrose for plants, which during infection by bacteria such as Xanthomonas are over-expressed, making them an important factor in the infection and colonization of this type ...
Pest risk analysis for Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum
Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum (Xcm) is the causative pathogen for banana Xanthomonas wilt (BXW). Commonly known as Xanthomonas wilt, it was reported first in Ethiopia on enset and later observed on banana in Uganda, ...
Consolidated Programme Implementation plan 2015-2018: Drylands Development Programme (DryDev)
The Drylands Development Programme (DRYDEV) is a five‐year initiative (August 2013 to July 2018)
funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of the Netherlands, with a significant financial
contribution from World ...
RNA-seq based transcriptome profiling, identification and validation of heat stress responsive genes in chickpea
Six contrasting heat responsive (tolerant - ICCV 92944, ICC 1356, ICC 15614 and sensitive - ICC 5912, ICC 4567, ICC 10685) genotypes were selected for the study. Heat stress was imposed using growth chamber facility, ...
Construction of Saturated Genetic Map
The first version of genetic map was constructed using the T-population (Tifrunner × GT-C20) with 239 mapped loci which was then improved to 378 marker loci. In the present study, genotyping data was generated for additional ...
