This paper assesses the research capacity and constraints of plant health units in sub-Saharan Africa to identify gaps in addressing crop biotic stress and improve food security.

This paper shows that early-stage sparse testing strategies increase genetic gain in plant breeding by improving selection accuracy and intensity through broader TPE sampling and reduced replication.

The paper demonstrates how a global pangenomic breeding network can develop and deploy drought and pest-resistant sorghum varieties for smallholder farmers in Niger.

This study develops a sorghum pan-genome to explore its functional utility in accelerating genetic gain by identifying genes and SNPs associated with agronomic traits and drought tolerance.
