Farmers reaping the benefits of groundnut farming in Tanzania
Over a period of 12 years (2007–2019), the Tropical Legumes projects led to the development of new, improved groundnut varieties, 11 of which were developed and released in Tanzania. During a project visit to farmers in Masasi, Tanzania, the farmers explained how they are now reaping huge benefits from the improved varieties.
Genome-Wide Detection of SNP Markers Associated with Four Physiological Traits in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
This study uses DarTSeq markers to analyze genome-wide marker-trait association for some physiological traits and to determine the magnitude of linkage disequilibrium (LD).
Translational genomics for achieving higher genetic gains in groundnut
This article describes advances in translational genomics in the groundnut to facilitate faster trait dissection, gene discovery and accelerated genetic improvement for developing climate-smart varieties.
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping for intermittent drought tolerance in BRB 191 × SEQ 1027 Andean Intragene cross recombinant inbred line population of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
This article presents the results of a study to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying drought tolerance in common bean.
Identification of QTL associated with drought tolerance in Andean common bean
A report from a QTL analysis of drought tolerance in a recombinant inbred line mapping population developed from two Andean bean genotypes and evaluated at two locations in Uganda for two seasons under drought stress and non-stress conditions.
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.
Drought tolerance mechanisms for response to pre- and post-flowering drought stress of groundnut in a dryland ecology
This poster presents the results of a study that investigated the mechanisms of drought tolerance of selected groundnut cultivars under pre- and post-flowering drought stress.
