Estimating and Decomposing Groundnut Gender Yield Gap: Evidence from Rural Farming Households in Northern Nigeria
Using data from smallholder groundnut producers in Nigeria, we analyzed the gender yield gap by applying the exogenous switching regression model and Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition framework. Results showed a significant gender yield gap in favor of male headed households.
Advances in Crop Improvement and Delivery Research for Nutritional Quality and Health Benefits of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
A review paper highlighting advances in crop improvement to enhance groundnut grain quality and nutrient profile for food, nutrition and economic benefits, focusing on host-induced gene silencing and transgenic approaches, high oleic groundnut varieties, research on groundnut allergens, exploitation of diploid and tetraploid genome sequences, and the delivery of advanced genetics to smallholder farmers.
Genetics, genomics and breeding of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
This review paper highlights advances in genetics, genomics, and breeding to improve the productivity of groundnut in Asia and Africa.
Diallel Analysis of Early Leaf Spot (Cercospora arachidicola Hori) Disease Resistance in Groundnut
This article describes a study conducted on diallel populations from six parents to assess the mode of inheritance of early leaf spot (ELS) resistance traits.
Groundnut production constraints and farmers’ trait preferences: a pre-breeding study in Togo
This study seeks to identify groundnut production constraints and assess farmers’ preferred traits in Togo.
Genomics, genetics and breeding of tropical legumes for better livelihoods of smallholder farmers
A review of a decade of significant research and development work on important grain legumes through collaborative bilateral and multilateral projects as well as the CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes.
Variability and Correlations among Groundnut Populations for Early Leaf Spot, Pod Yield, and Agronomic Traits
This article presents the results of a study of the genetic variability and correlation of early leaf spot (ELS) resistance parameters and agro-morphological traits in groundnut.
Breeding tropical legume crops for resilient cropping systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
This poster abstract summarizes the achievements of CGIAR centers and national research partners, who have with the support of the Tropical Legumes project enhanced legume crop production in Sub-Saharan Africa through the use of genetic technology.
Legume breeding and seed systems for improved livelihoods and impact
This abstract summarises the aims and achievements of the Tropical Legumes project with national breeding programs to develop improved groundnut varieties by identifying sources of resistance, developing populations, evaluating in target environments, and releasing improved farmer-preferred varieties for production.
Advances in groundnut breeding for drought prone West and Central Africa
This poster abstract summarizes ICRISAT’s work through the Tropical Legumes project with national breeding programs to develop improved groundnut varieties by identifying sources of resistance, developing populations, evaluating in target environments, and releasing improved farmer-preferred varieties for production.
