Enhanced breeding for increased productivity and improved quality in West Africa.

Genotypic data for maize Provitamin A inbred lines for diversity assessment and heterotic grouping

Phenotypic data of 169 extra-early maturing quality protein maize evaluated under Striga conditions across 3 environments, 2019-2020

Bioactive compounds in foods are responsible for their biological activities, but biotic and abiotic factors may influence their levels. This study evaluated the impact of three genotypes (designated 4, 5, and 7), maturity stages (20, 27, and 34 days after pollination) and processing methods (hydrothermal and dry-heating) on the bioactive constituents (carotenoids, phytate, tannins, vitamin C) and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH∗ ) scavenging activity of fresh orange maize hybrids. Freshly harvested maize cobs of each genotype...

Whiteflies Bemisia tabaci are a threat to cassava production in sub-Saharan Africa as vectors of two major viral diseases (cassava mosaic and cassava brown streak disease). There is need to explore sustainable control options for this pest.

The trade in agricultural commodities and wildlife contributes to economic development, but it also has unavoidable social and environmental consequences. Balancing the benefits and negative impacts is an intractable challenge in the implementation of sustainable trade. To overcome this challenge, menjadi the Trade, Development, and the Environment Hub (TRADE Hub) will examine the trade in agricultural commodities and wildlife through research activities in various areas ranging from supply chains; the social and environmental impacts of...
