600 small-scale tree nurseries in Burkina Faso hold large diversity
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/168747
Abstract
Tree diversity in Burkina Faso’s large, informal network of community nurseries is encouragingly high, providing a key resource for ambitious restoration plans. Funding and technical support is needed to improve seed quality, genetic diversity, seed sourcing and management of planting material. Findings support the implementation of a large-scale capacity-building program aimed at improving the quality and diversity of…

Advances in sorghum improvement for climate resilience in the global arid and semi-arid tropics: A Review
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/169953
Abstract
Sorghum is a climate-resilient crop which has been cultivated as a staple food in the semi-arid areas of Africa and Asia for food and nutrition security. However, the current climate change is increasingly affecting sorghum performance, especially at the flowering stage when water availability is critical for grain filling, thus lowering the sorghum grain yield. The development of…
