Whole-genome resequencing of a global collection of Napier grass ( Cenchrus purpureus ) to explore global population structure and QTL governing yield and feed quality traits

Abel Teshome, Hailu Lire, Janet Higgins, Temesgen Magule Olango et autres

Napier grass (Cenchrus purpureus) is a C4 perennial grass species native to Sub-Saharan Africa and widely used as livestock feed in the region. In this study, we sequenced the genomes of 450 Napier grass individuals from 18 countries, identifying over 170 million …

A population genomics approach to unlock the genetic potential of lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet), an underutilized tropical forage crop

Abel Teshome, Ermias Habte, Jehanzeb Cheema, Aklilu Mekasha et autres

BACKGROUND: Lablab is one of the conventionally grown multi-purpose crops that originated in Africa. It is an annual or short-lived perennial forage legume which has versatile uses (as a vegetable and dry seeds, as food or feed, or as green manure) but …

A Genome-Wide Association Study of Biomass Yield and Feed Quality in Buffel Grass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.)

Alemayehu Teressa Negawo, Meki S. Muktar, Ricardo Alonso Sánchez Gutiérrez, Ermias Habte et autres

The development of modern genomic tools has helped accelerate genetic gains in the breeding program of food crops. More recently, genomic resources have been developed for tropical forages, providing key resources for developing new climate-resilient high-yielding forage varieties. In this study, we …

A population genomics approach to unlock the genetic potential of lablab ( Lablab purpureus ), an underutilized tropical forage crop

Abel Teshome, Ermias Habte, Jehanzeb Cheema, Aklilu Mekasha et autres

Abstract Background In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) livestock production and productivity are severely restricted by the scarce supply of feedstuffs and forage crops, while those available are often of low nutritional quality resulting in poor animal productivity and leading to widespread malnutrition among …

Analysis of global Napier grass (Cenchrus purpureus) collections reveals high genetic diversity among genotypes with some redundancy between collections

Meki S. Muktar, Tadelech Bizuneh, William F. Anderson, Yilikal Assefa et autres

Abstract Genetic diversity amongst genotypes of several Napier grass collections was analyzed and compared with the diversity in a set of open pollinated progeny plants. A total of 114,881 SNP and 46,293 SilicoDArT genome-wide markers were generated on 574 Napier grass genotypes. …

Productivity and Feed Quality Performance of Napier Grass (Cenchrus purpureus) Genotypes Growing under Different Soil Moisture Levels

Ermias Habte, Abel Teshome, Meki S. Muktar, Yilikal Assefa et autres

In the semi-arid and arid environments of Sub-Sharan Africa, forage availability throughout the year is insufficient and highly limited during the dry seasons due to limited precipitation. Thus, the identification of drought stress-tolerant forage cultivars is one of the main activities in …
