Setting Agenda for #ESA sorghum and millets breeding during #PDT and #BPA exercise NARO Uganda - NARO-NaSARRI Regional partnerships for delivery of impactful #sorghum and #millets

Using CRISPR, Arkansas researchers were able to reduce grain "chalkiness" in rice by suppressing a gene that plays an outsized role in the development of lower-quality rice news.uark.edu/articles/64765…

Millets can transform agrifood systems leaving no one behind. The Global Collaboration on Sorghum and Millet at Kansas State University demonstrates the power of local partnerships to maximize resources for millets production. #IYM2023 #YearofMillets

Today, a journey of 1,612 days, gets completed. Thrilled to announce that I am officially a PhD 🎓. *What shall I render to the LORD for all his goodness to me!* A very lonely, arduous, fulfilling and incredible journey, filled with challenges and growth.

Three postdoc positions available in my lab at University of California Riverside immediately. Two are on RNA trafficking between plant hosts and microbes and one is on developing innovative tools to control citrus greening. iigb.ucr.edu/jobs#academic-…. Please RT, thanks.

You are most welcome to learn about #sorghum and its immense potential for agriecosystem transformation and its diverse uses as #FoodSecurity, #animal nutrition, and low gluteen🍻 See you tomorrow NARO Uganda - NARO-NaSARRI #SeedsofGold farm clinic 2023.

2023 is the #YearofMillets! We are building on 10 years of work to improve pearl millet to fight hunger, malnutrition and build the value chain involving smallholder farmers, cooperatives and industry through the Sorghum and Millet Innovation Lab. #IYM2023 bit.ly/3pIwlRm

#international year of millets 2023 im Uganda. Millets identified as part of the National food reserve policy for the country to boost production and use, says Agric. Minister Fred Kyakulaga NARO Uganda Innovation Lab for Crop Improvement millet for nutrition Faizo Kasule NARO-NaSARRI

During paper manufacturing, the lignin removal process from trees is very energetically demanding and also generates chemical waste. Now, scientists have developed low-lignin trees through gene editing! thecooldown.com/green-tech/eng…

NaSARRI-NARO has participated in the East African Grain council Agri-business Expo at Kihonda Labongo Masindi District. We are happy to deliver the NARO climate smart crop technologies to the people of Bunyoro. It has been a very engaging two days

Why it’s called “pizza”

Nutritionists at Hunger Fighters Uganda today visited Ruhoko Health Facility in #Nakivale, conducted nutrition sensitization and later distributed vegetables grown at the Food Distribution Points that have since been turned into demonstration centers since the shift from food to cash.
