From 2009 to 2014 a nationwide effort was made to document, collect, conserve, and characterize wheat landraces grown by Turkish farmers. Spike samples were collected from more than 1600 farmers from 59 provinces, planted as single-spike progenies, and classified into species, subspecies, and botanical varieties (or morphotypes). Altogether, 95 morphotypes were identified representing three species and six subspecies: einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L.), emmer wheat [T. turgidum subsp. dicoccon (Schrank) Thell.], cone wheat (T. turgidum subsp. turgidum), durum wheat [T. turgidum subsp.

Maternal season defined, as the prevailing environmental conditions during crop growth has been
known to influence not only grain yield but also seed quality. A laboratory and field experiment were
conducted in October 2014, to determine the influence of total rainfall and mean monthly
temperature on germination, vigor and emergence of sorghum seeds which were harvested from
three different seasons and were kept under controlled conditions. The laboratory experiment was
The database consists of data on soil properties of both on station and 20 farmer fields, household characteristics of 301 households, woreda level crop production statistics for the past 5 years, land use maps and data and long-term historical climate data for Adamitullu in Oromia region, Ethiopia
Presentation on A Gendered Participatory Approach to Promote Adoption of Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Strategies
