Germplasm: Drought
tolerance germplasm from our global breeding programs.
This will introduce novel sources of drought tolerance to
African germplasm as well as increase germplasm diversity.
Markers: Apply our marker aided breeding platform to both
CIMMYT and Monsanto materials to develop new African hybrids that
are higher yielding under moderate drought conditions.
Additionally DNA markers for drought tolerance and disease
resistance may be identified and will be available through CIMMYT
for global public use.
Biotech: Up to four commercial track drought tolerance events
for testing in the partner countries to contribute additional levels
of drought tolerance under moderate drought conditions beyond the
improvements gained through molecular breeding.
Expertise: We will provide expertise in molecular aided
breeding, product development, biotech testing and stewardship.
