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 ...
Leverage Government programmes, farmer communities
Develop and promote decentralized seed models to organize production and supply of quality groundnut seed of improved varieties, and conduct training programs to farmers and extension staff.
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 ...
Conduct Preliminary (49-100 entries) and Advanced (16-25 entries) trials of sorghum lines with multiple traits (Striga, midge, drought tolerance) and end-uses (food, feed and malting)
In Kenya the best performing sorghum lines IS 16545, Khalid, IS 25395, ASARECA 24-4-1 and ASARECA 15-2-1 had grain yields ranging from 2.593 to 3.33 t ha-1 and 76 to 81 days to flowering whereas in Tanzania, the best ...
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 ...
Commercial hybrid cultivation production promoted in at least 100,000 ha
In 2016, a quantity of 705 tons of hybrid pigeonpea seeds were produced by all the stake holders Which was sufficient to cover 140000 has of area with hybrid pigeonpea seeds. An area of 680 has is under seed production by ...
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 ...
