Germplasm Enhancement for Resistance to Pathogens and Drought and Increased Genetic Diversity

The principal objectives of TAM-122 were to identify and develop disease resistant and drought resistant sorghum germplasm in genetically diverse backgrounds for use by host country […]

Germplasm Enhancement through Genetic Manipulation for Increasing Resistance to Insects and Improving Efficient Nutrient Use in Genotypes Adapted to Sustainable Production Systems (Joint with TropSoils CRSP)

Sorghum production and yield stability is constrained by numerous biotic and abiotic stresses. Insects pose a produc-lion risk in all areas of sorghum production, the severity […]

Tropical Sorghum Conservation and Enhancement in Honduras and Central America

The overall goal of this project is to improve the quality of farm families in Honduras that produce sorghum. This is accomplished through in situ conservation […]
