Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas [L.] Lam.) is an important subsistence crop in Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet as for many crops, yield can be severely impacted by drought stress. Understanding the genetic mechanisms that control drought tolerance can facilitate the development of drought‐tolerant sweet po...

Transcriptomic analysis of sweet potato under dehydration stress identifies candidate genes for drought tolerance.
Drought is the major abiotic stress factor limiting yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in smallholder systems in Latin America and eastern and southern Africa; where it is a main source of protein in the daily diet. Identification of shoot and root traits associated with drought resista...

Evidence for genotypic differences among elite lines of common bean in the ability to remobilize photosynthate to increase yield under drought
Background:
Common bean is an important legume crop with only a moderate number of short expressed sequence tags (ESTs) made with traditional methods. The goal of this research was to use full-length cDNA technology to develop ESTs that would overlap with the beginning of open reading frames and ...

An extensively distributed root system may reduce the probability of crop failure during periods of restricted water supply . A quantitative measure of root distribution in the soil profile, i .e . pulling resistance of roots (PR), was tested at two moderately droughted tropical field sites . A t...

The paper summarizes research conducted at International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) on responses of cassava to extended water shortages in the field aided by modern gas-exchange and water-relation techniques as well as biochemical assays. The aim of the research was to coordinate basi...

An estimated 60% of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production worldwide is at risk of drought. A breeding program was developed at the International Center of Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) to create drought resistant breeding lines with varietal potential in the small red, small black, cream (...

The potential of pastures sown with species mixtures of tropical legume species compared with single species was investigated in subhumid west Africa, over a period of three grazing seasons. Through compensation and complementation of the individual legume species, the mixtures were seasonally an...
