Genotyping and re-sequencing are among a suite of tools used to enable rapid and cost-effective tool to study genetic diversity. This workshop will explore its use in the genetic curation of accessi ons within and between collection(s). With such information across global collections, it becomes possible identify the truly unique accessions across all of our gene banks, identify possible gaps in the global collection and enable more targeted access to genetic diversity. The workshop will discuss presentations from each participant on use cases. Lessons learned from initiatives such as CIMMYT’s Seeds for Discovery for maize and wheat, and CIP’s investigations on sweet potato and at IITA and CIAT for cassava will be considered.

The advent of cheap smartphones in rural areas across the globe presents an opportunity to change the mode with which researchers engage hard-to-reach populations. In particular, smartphones allow researchers to connect with respondents more frequently than standard household surveys, opening a new window into important short-term variability in key measures of household and community wellbeing. In this paper, we present early results from a pilot study in rural Bangladesh using a ‘microtasks for micropayments’ model to collect a range of community and household living standards data using Android smartphones. We find that more frequent task repetition with shorter recall periods leads to more inclusive reporting, improved capture of intra-seasonal variability, and earlier signals of events such as illness. Payments in the form of mobile talk time and data provide a positive development externality in the form of expanded access to mobile internet and social networks. Taken to scale, programs such as this have potential to transform data collection in rural areas, providing near-real-time windows into the development of markets, the spread of illnesses, or the diffusion of ideas and innovations.

This data was collected as part of the Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) (Phase-I) project, with an objective to assesses cereal production in selected areas of NW-Bangladesh, especially with respect to the biophysical and socio-economic characterization of the cereal producing farm households.

Under CSISA Phase II, Nutrient Omission Plot Technique (NOPT) trials were conducted in eight districts of Bihar, ten districts of Uttar Pradesh and ten districts of Odisha. Partner institutions include Bihar Agriculture University (BAU), Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), Central Rice Research Institute (CRRI), Odisha.

The IWYP Hub based in Ciudad Obregon, Mexico, offers an array of services, technology, and germplasm resources to IWYP Partner and Aligned projects. This study provides general information about the Hub, as well as descriptions of several germplasm populations being utilized within the IWYP project. For more information about the IWYP Hub, please contact the IWYP Hub Coordinator, Dr. Jacinto Gimeno: J.Gimeno@cgiar.org .

International Durum Screening Nursery (IDSN) distributes diverse CIMMYT-bred spring durum wheat germplasm adapted to irrigated and variable moisture stressed environments. Disease resistance and high industrial pasta quality are essential traits possessed in this germplasm. It is distributed to 100 locations, and contains 150 entries.
