Flowering time is a critical stage for crop development as it regulates the ability of plants to adapt to an environment. To understand the genetic control of flowering time, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to identify the...

Lentil (Lens culinarisMedikus) is a protein-rich cool-season food legume with an excellent
source of protein, prebiotic carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. With climate change,
heat, and drought stresses have become more frequent and intense in...

Heat stress at later growth stage is one of the major limitations in achieving potential yield in barley. Incorporation of heat tolerance in the variety development process is an essential task that breeders would like to achieve by exploring new...

Grain legumes are an important component of sustainable agri-food systems. They establish
symbiotic association with rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, thus reducing the use of
chemical fertilizers. Several other free-living microbial...

Crop diversity underpins food security and adaptation to climate change. Concerted conservation efforts are needed to maintain and make this diversity available to plant scientists, breeders and farmers. Here we present the story of the rescue and...

Chickpea is a nutrition-rich, cropping-system friendly, climate-resilient, and low-cost
production crop. It has large economic potential in the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region, where it
currently accounts for only approximately half a million...

This study elicits farmers’ preferences and estimates their willingness to pay (WTP) for selected small ruminant market facilities in Ethiopia. Data were generated using choice experiments from 360 randomly selected farmers. Using the generalized...
