Accelerating genetic gains in legumes for the development of prosperous smallholder agriculture: integrating genomics, phenotyping, systems modelling and agronomy
To achieve faster genetic gains in legumes in rainfed conditions, this review proposes the integration of modern genomics approaches, high throughput phenomics, and simulation modelling to support crop improvement that leads to improved varieties that perform with the appropriate agronomy.
Seven Seasons of Learning and Engaging Smallholder Farmers in the Drought-Prone Areas of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia through Tropical Legumes, 2007–2014 (Enhancing chickpea productivity and production in South Asia: Chapter 8 of 13)
Chapter 8 of a book published after seven years of TLII, representing an important record of the project’s work and achievements.
Identification of quantitative trait loci for yield and yield related traits of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under different water regimes in Niger and Senegal
This study used a recombinant inbred line mapping population (TAG 24 × ICGV 86031) to identify markers associated with quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield and yield-related traits at two important locations in West Africa under well-watered and water stress conditions.
