Community-based seed production system (CBSP) in Nigeria: an opening for complementing national supply of quality seeds
This policy brief provides an overview of an integrated seed system (semi-formal) which brings together core elements of both the formal and informal systems. In the semi-formal seed system, farmer groups produce, distribute, and market certified seeds endorsed by the National Agricultural Seeds Council (NASC).

Molecular mapping of QTLs for heat tolerance in chickpea
The present study aimed to identify QTLs associated with heat tolerance in chickpea using 292 F8-9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from the cross ICC 4567 (heat sensitive) × ICC 15614 (heat tolerant).

Capturing genetic variability and selection of traits for heat tolerance in a chickpea recombinant inbred line (RIL) population under field conditions
To assess the genetic variability and identify heat responsive traits in chickpea, a set of 296 F8–9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of the cross ICC 4567 (heat sensitive) × ICC 15614 (heat tolerant) was evaluated under field conditions at ICRISAT, Patancheru, India.

High-density genetic map using whole-genome resequencing for fine mapping and candidate gene discovery for disease resistance in peanut
This paper evaluates efforts to generate whole-genome resequencing data on a recombinant inbred line population, develop a SNP‐based high‐density genetic map, and conduct fine mapping, candidate gene discovery and marker validation for early leaf spot, late leaf spot, and Tomato spotted wilt virus in peanut.
