Fighting drought and aluminum toxicity: Integrating functional genomics, phenotypic screening and participatory evaluation with women and small-scale farmers to develop stress-resistant common bean and Brachiaria for the tropics
Project
Project code: 81084613
Contract period: 01.04.2006
- 31.03.2010
Budget: 1,099,940 Euro
Purpose of research: Basic research
Goal:
To contribute to food security and sustainability of crop-livestock systems in tropical areas
prone to drought stress and aluminum (AI) toxicity
Purpose:
To discover drought and Al resistance candidate genes that are involved in maintaining root
elongation under stress; to develop phenotypic and molecular tools to facilitate marker
assisted selection (MAS) in common bean and Brachiaria; and to increase benefits to
resource-poor farmers from stress-adapted, improved common bean and Brachiaria
