This study aimed to increase farmers’ access to certified bean seed in marginal/drought prone areas of Kenya. Beans are important food crop in Kenya and grown mainly by small scale farmers in drought prone areas. Access to certified seed of improved bean varieties is mainly through relief. Despit...

A healthy agricultural soil can maintain productivity, whilst delivering essential ecosystem services. An unhealthy soil can result in erosion, compaction and reductions in above and below ground diversity, nutrient cycling efficiency, drought tolerance and yield1. Grasslands for livestock produc...

Drought is a complex phenomenon that is relevant for many crops. Performing high-throughput transcriptomics in non-model crops is challenging. The non-model crop where our workflow has been tested on is banana (Musa spp.), which ranks among the top ten staple foods (total production over 145 mill...
