RESEARCH

 

  • 1991-1993: conducted research on breeding, selection and production of roselle (Karkade) lines.
  • 2000-2003 conducted research on the genetic analysis of the reproductive mode of faba bean
  • 2004-2010 conducted research (funded by Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Sudan) on the following:

 

(1)  Analysis of degree of cross-fertilization and auto-fertility in faba bean (Viciafaba L.) as a prerequisite for breeding synthetic cultivars

(2)  Genetic improvement of bread wheat (Triticumaestivum L.) for heat and drought tolerance under Sudan conditions (funded by Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Sudan).

(3)  Analysis of degree of auto-fertility in faba bean (Viciafaba L.) as a basis for breeding self-pollinated cultivars

–GENERATION OF FUNDS (GRANTS OBTAINED FOR RESEARCH PROJECTS)

The Projects (1), (2) and (3) abovewerefunded by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Sudan. The first two projects were funded in 2006 and the third one in 2009.

 

  • On-going Research:

(4)  Heterogeneity and heterozygosity in faba bean as traits for yield improvement

(5)  Molecular and Physiological Markers to Characterize Genes for Drought and Heat Tolerance in Bread Wheat (Triticumaestivum L.)

(6)  Morphological and molecular characterization of Sudanese cow pea (Vignasincnsis/Vignaunguiculata) genotypes for forage yield.
