Indigenous African orphan legumes: potential for food and nutrition security in SSA by Abberton, Michael T., Paliwal, R., Faloye, B., Tchamba, Marimagne, Azeez, M., Oyatomi, Olaniyi

“…Despite the wide distribution of orphan legumes across the landscape of SSA, these important crop species are characterized by low yield and decreasing utilization due in part to a lack of improved varieties and a lack of adequate research attention. Genomic-assisted breeding (GAB) can contribute to developing improved varieties that yield more, have improved resilience, and high nutritional value. …”
