Breaking the
Yield Barrier: Heterosis in West African Pearl Millet
With the Rockefeller Foundation
with co-funding from the Syngenta Foundation
|
Goal is to develop pearl millet top-cross hybrids with
superior productivity and grain yield stability for West
African production systems, to develop tools for breeding
photo period sensitive millet hybrids; to strengthen seed
sector development and marketing opportunities for pearl
millet from West Africa, and to build national research
capacity for breeding pearl millet hybrids. Research organizations
