Harnessing genetic resources and progress in plant genomics for fonio (Digitaria spp.) improvement

2018-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Fonio plays an important role in food security and in income generation, in drought prone areas of West Africa. This review aimed at highlighting fonio production constraints, breeding objectives and available genetic resources for fonio improvement. Lack of institutional support to research, lack of improved seeds, parasitic weed infestation, grain shattering, lodging and toilsome of the post-harvest handling are...
