Data Records

The data in this 出現紀錄 resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 52 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

地理涵蓋範圍

For this data set, Wild sorghum species observations were made in the Central and Southern Region of Malawi.

分類群涵蓋範圍

Occurrence data reported here is classified to species and sub species levels only.

計畫資料

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is an important food crop in Malawi. Online data reveals occurrence of its four crop wild relatives including S.versicolor Anderson, S. halepense (L.) Pers, S. sudanense (Piper) Stapf and S. arundinaceum. Some of these contain traits that confer resistance to Striga asiatica L. Kuntze and possibly have genes for tolerance to other biotic and abiotic stresses. However, their status and spatial diversity has not been established. This project aims at halting genetic erosion and safeguard the species for present and future use and specifically, to (i) establish the distribution of S.versicolor Anderson, S. halepense (L.) Pers, S. sudanense (Piper) Stapf and S. arundinaceum in Malawi; (ii) establish the spatial diversity of the crop wild relative (iii) assess the state of vulnerability of the species ;(iv) Develop and propose conservation plan to safeguard threatened species . Malawi Plant Genetic Resources Centre leads the project in collaboration with National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens of Malawi, Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources and National Commission of Science and Technology and the University of Birmingham. The project will generate information about the current in situ status, distribution and spatial diversity of these species. This information will guide in designing an effective and sustainable conservation plan that will guide policy makers. Data from this will help in periodic monitoring of their status in their habitat as well as to complement the existing data hence improve knowledge base of the species. There will be increased accessibility of Sorghum CWR data for research globally.

取樣方法

Field sampling was guided by Eco geographical surveys, past field observations and experts knowledge which revealed areas where the wild sorghum species occurred across Malawi.

方法步驟描述:

1. Images of sorghum wild species were captured with I phones and Cameras and passport information was digitized. For the field observation, samples of the specimen were collected together with associated data. The project team ensured that all the data points were Geo referenced according to the standards. Scientific names were crosschecked with those of accepted ones.
