Paradigm shift in common bean production, productivity and marketing through the generation and promotion of in-demand common bean varieties in Ethiopia
This poster provides an overview of efforts to enhance the production, productivity and marketing of common bean varieties in Ethiopia.
Enhancing navy bean production through the development of arcelin-based bruchid resistant varieties in Ethiopia
This poster presents the findings of a study that attempted to develop high yielding, disease and bruchid resistant navy bean varieties from arcelin-containing recombinant inbred lines.
Designing effective groundnut breeding strategies through farmer-breeder interactions in northern Nigeria
This study presents the results of a groundnut participatory varietal selection exercise in northern Nigeria, which revealed that resistance to pests and diseases, early maturity, pod yield, oil yield, haulm yield, pod and kernel features, and drought tolerance are the most important groundnut traits for farmers.
Pre-empting aflatoxin contamination in legume and cereal farming systems in northern Nigeria: a case study of the groundnut value chain
This study presents preliminary results of pre-emptive measures being undertaken by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics and national partners on the management of aflatoxin contamination in the groundnut value chains of selected states in northern Nigeria.
Understanding and managing aflatoxin in the groundnut value chain in Nigeria
This manual provides general and specific information on aflatoxin contamination and its management at all stages of the groundnut value chain in Nigeria.
Germplasm enhancement for increasing groundnut productivity and production in West and Central Africa
This conference paper discusses current efforts to deploy modern breeding approaches and tools to enhance genetic gains and support national groundnut breeding programs in West and Central Africa.
Determinants of groundnut rosette virus disease occurrence in Uganda
This study was aimed at establishing the factors influencing the occurrence of Groundnut Rosette Virus Disease in Uganda. Trials were established for three seasons in four groundnut growing locations situated in different agro-ecologies in Uganda.
Genomic Tools in Groundnut Breeding Program: Status and Perspectives
This article discusses the use of genomic tools to enhance genetic gains for target traits in groundnut.
QTL-seq for Rapid Identification of Candidate Genes for 100-seed Weight and root/total Plant Dry Weight Ratio Under Rainfed Conditions in Chickpea
Terminal drought is a major constraint to chickpea productivity. In this article, QTL-seq approach was used to identify candidate genomic regions for 100-seed weight (100SDW) and total dry root weight to total plant dry weight ratio (RTR) under rainfed conditions.
Drought Stress Responses in Soybean Roots and Nodules
The research presented in this journal article concludes that the direct screening of root and nodule traits in the field, as well as identification of genes, proteins and also metabolites involved in such traits, is essential to gain a better understanding of the regulation of root architecture, bacteroid development and lifespan in relation to drought tolerance in soybean.
