Our newest production on ‘Radio GCP’ is a conversation with Matthias Wissuwa, where he tells us about his work on PSTOL1 – the gene on the Pup1 locus that does wonders for enhancing phosphorus (P) intake by rice plants (hence the monike…
In the world of phosphorus, Matthias Wissuwa of the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) is somewhat of a ‘rock’ star. He has searched tirelessly for a rice gene that could improve rice yield in phosphorus-deficien…
Half of the world’s ricelands are phosphorus-deficient. And while this problem can be overcome by phosphorus (P) fertilisers, this solution is often out of reach for poorer farmers, who are by far and away the vast majority. Matthias Wissuwa of the J…
In today’s episode, we talk to Dr Hannibal Muhtar, whom we commissioned to undertake on-site needs analyses for numerous GCP research sites in sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, Hannibal was asked to identify, together with GCP project Principal Inves…
Calling developing-world researchers − funding to attend a world conference on increasing crop yield and stability despite drought. The InterDrought−IV Conference brings together leading drought researchers and the latest in drought research. Pre-c…
