Données sur le projet

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is an important food crop in Malawi. Online data reveal occurrence of its four crop wild relatives including S.versicolor Andersson, S. halepense (L.) Pers, S. sudanense (Piper) Stapf and S. arundinaceum (Desv.) Stapf. 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 (Desv.) Stapf. in Malawi; (ii) establish the spatial diversity of these crop wild relatives (iii) assess the state of vulnerability of the species; and (iv) propose conservation plan to safeguard the threatened species. Malawi Plant Genetic Resources Centre led the project in collaboration with National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens of Malawi, Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, National Commission of Science and Technology and University of Birmingham. Current in situ status, distribution and spatial diversity of these species will be established. 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.

Financement The project received funding from European Union through Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) under Biodiversity Information for Development(BID) grant(BID-AF2017-0265-SMA) and was co funded by the Government of Malawi.
Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche The work focused on establishing sorghum wild species occurring in Malawi.
Description du design Species occurrence data was used for this study. Herbarium and botanic gardens were the main source of occurrence data. The main aim of the project was to establish the range distribution and diversity of sorghum wild species in order to encourage future use in sorghum improvement in Malawi and their sustainable conservation.

Méthodes d'échantillonnage

The study used species occurrence data. This included data with coordinates and non georeferenced data.

Etendue de l'étude The study targeted wild sorghum species that occur in Malawi.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

  1. First was image capturing of her barium specimen. This was followed by digitization of the passport information associated with the captured specimen.Data with no coordinates was georeferenced using google maps. All data points were plotted on the Map of Malawi using DIVA GIS to identify species falling outside Malawi. The Plant list and global name resolver was used to validate taxonomic status of the species.
