Uncovering the genomic basis of climate adaptation in traditional crop varieties can provide
insight into plant evolution and facilitate breeding for climate resilience. In the African cereal …

Evolution of plants under climatic gradients may lead to clinal adaptation. Understanding
the genomic basis of clinal adaptation in crops species could facilitate breeding for climate …

Improving adaptation of staple crops in developing countries is important to ensure food
security. In the West African country of Niger, the staple crop sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is …

Local landrace and breeding germplasm is a useful source of genetic diversity for regional
and global crop improvement initiatives. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) in western …

Drought is a key constraint on plant productivity and threat to food security. Sorghum (
Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), a global staple food and forage crop, is among the most drought‐…

In the current genomic era, the search and deployment of new semi‐dwarf alleles have
continued to develop better plant types in all cereals. We characterized an agronomically optimal …

The potential of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L] Walp) to contribute to food security and livelihood
sustenance of sub-Sahara Africans is constantly threatened by many biotic and abiotic …

The bambara groundnut [Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc. (Fabaceae)] is a legume mainly
cultivated by women, for the nutritional quality of these seeds. It is a so-called minor culture and …

Drought is a key constraint on plant productivity and threat to food security. Sorghum (Sorghum
bicolor L. Moench), a global staple food and forage crop, is among the most drought-…

Discussion ❖ Sorghum is a major crop in Africa. This crop is the second most produced cereal
in Niger. It contributes to food security and to the resilience of populations to a changing …
