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.
