Rice and global climate change: candidate genes for preventing heat- and drought-induced yield losses due to spikelet sterility (Project)
The major goal of this project is the alleviation of global food insecurity, poverty, and malnutrition in potentially highly food- and climate-insecure regions of the world. The purpose is the development of rice cultivars that are tolerant of heat, drought, and combined heat and drought stress through the introgression of validated tolerance genes into rice mega-varieties by marker-assisted...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Farmers‘ Rice Fields under Water-Saving Strategies in the Philippines (Project)
The overarching goal of the project is the regional up-scaling of CH4 and N2O emissions under different water-saving/management characteristics. The specific goals are to 1. Assess temporal variability of CH4 and N2O emissions in farmers‘ fields practicing watersaving techniques. 2. Study the spatial variability of emissions as affected by distinct water-saving practices of different farmers. 3....

Development of fast screening methods for developing countries to improve quantity and quality of carbohydrates in potato, sweetpotato and yambean (Project)
The goal of this study will be to develop a fast and inexpensive near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) screening method for predicting quantity and quality of plant carbohydrates (CHO), on the basis of investigation into the quantity and quality of plant CHO in potato (modern and Andean Solanum groups), sweetpotato and Andean yambean grown in Peru. The new developed method will be applied...

Asco Seq - The complete sequencing of the genome of the chickpea pathogen Ascochyta rabiei and an in-depth analysis of its transcriptome (Project)
This project aims at (1) exploiting next-generation sequencing technologies to sequence the completely unknown genome of the fungal pathogen Ascochyta rabiei, and at (2) deciphering its completely unknown transcriptome (the entirety of expressed genes). The expected results will dramatically further our understanding of this pathogen and the infection process, that is unknown at present. The...

Plant processes regulating tuber micronutrient concentrations of potato genotypes in different environments (Project)
Goal: The project goal is advancing the understanding of plant processes that regulate Fe and Zn content of potato tubers. This will help to increase micronutrient contents through agronomic intervention and genetic selection, and may contribute to reduce malnutrition among rural populations in low-income countries. Purpose: In current field trials of CIP´s Germplasm Enhancement and Crop...

Lessons from the tsunami 2004 in Aceh: Mitigation or aggravation through trees? Modeling the effect of coastal vegetation on tsunami impact in West Aceh, Indonesia (Project)
Goal: A modeling tool that can assist coastal land-use planners in developing safer and economically viable vegetation barriers to mitigate the impact of a potential future tsunami. Purpose: To develop a robust model, an improved version of the existing one (Laso Bayas 2007) that explicitly considers the role of coastal vegetation as a tsunami mitigating factor. Additional data and evidence from...

Individual and combined effects of five quantitative trait loci on resistance to the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica in Sorghum bicolor under field conditions in Mali and Sudan (Project)
Goal: The resulting unique set of sorghum genotypes introgressed with different quantitative trait loci (genes) for striga resistance offer the exceptional possibility to investigate effects of the five different gene loci individually and in combination. It has therefore a high potential for developmental impact through more targeted plant breeding for striga resistance in sorghum and offers the...
