Orphan legume crops enter the genomics era!
Many of the world's most important food legumes are grown in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia, where crop productivity is hampered by biotic and abiotic stresses. Until recently, these crops have also suffered from a dearth of genomic and molecular-genetic resources and thus were 'orphans' of the genome revolution. However, the community of legume researchers has begun a concerted ...
متن کاملAfrican Orphan Crops under Abiotic Stresses: Challenges and Opportunities
A changing climate, a growing world population, and a reduction in arable land devoted to food production are all problems facing the world food security. The development of crops that can yield under uncertain and extreme climatic and soil growing conditions can play a key role in mitigating these problems. Major crops such as maize, rice, and wheat are responsible for a large proportion of gl...

متن کاملDiversity Arrays Technology: A Novel Tool for Harnessing the Genetic Potential of Orphan Crops
Genetic diversity is the raw material available to plant breeders. By productively recombining genetic diversity, plant breeders have been successfully producing, year after year, improved cultivars of the major domesticated species used in the world’s diverse agricultural systems. Molecular genetic markers offer a powerful tool to accelerate and refine this process. Existing genetic marker (ge...
متن کاملBiotechnology in the developing world: a case for increased investments in orphan crops
This article examines the opportunities for using several forms of modern biotechnology to improve orphan crops in developing countries. These crops, including tef, millets, cowpea, and indigenous vegetables, fruits, roots, and tubers, tend to be locally important, but receive little public or private investment. Recent advances in the fields of genetics and genomics provide a more unified unde...
