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.
Efficiency of molecular markers to select for Striga gesneroides resistance in cowpea
In this study four molecular markers developed for selecting Striga resistant cowpea were used to genotype a F2 population derived from a cross between Borno Brown and T97K-499-35.
