The ability to map actual and potential yields at scale would enable much more informed policy interventions and targeted investments. While methods exists, much empirical validation remains to be done for maize systems in sub-Saharan Africa.

Improving heat and drought tolerance in wheat is paramount to ensure food security of the burgeoning world population under scenarios of climate change. Several genes with a probable role in abiotic stress tolerance have been cloned in wheat and functionally validated in transgenic Arabidopsis, tobacco and/or wheat lines under controlled environments. However, breeders have not been able to integrate them in their breeding pipelines due to lack of functional markers.

The Accelerating Genetic Gains in Maize and Wheat for Improved Livelihoods (AGG) project aims to accelerate the development and delivery of more productive, climate-resilient, gender-responsive, market-demanded, and nutritious maize and wheat varieties in support of sustainable agricultural transformation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and South Asia (SA)", "description":
