were measured for 15 quantitative characters whereas qualitative morphological traits were measured at <strong>the</strong><br />
entry level on one plant <strong>in</strong> each replication. <strong>The</strong> racial identification showed that gu<strong>in</strong>ea gambicum (53%),<br />
gu<strong>in</strong>ea margaritiferum (16%) and <strong>the</strong> sweet sorghums belong<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> bicolor race (12%) are <strong>the</strong> dom<strong>in</strong>ant<br />
sorghum groups <strong>in</strong> Mali. <strong>The</strong> highest variation was observed for cycle duration (sow<strong>in</strong>g-flag leaf emergence<br />
duration vary<strong>in</strong>g from 48 days to 122 days). Most <strong>of</strong> landraces are partially or completely photoperiod sensitive.<br />
Stay green is ma<strong>in</strong>ly expla<strong>in</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong> date <strong>of</strong> flower<strong>in</strong>g ra<strong>the</strong>r than o<strong>the</strong>r environmental factors with late<br />

Milestone A.2.1.4: Morphoagronomical patterns <strong>of</strong> Sorghum diversity <strong>in</strong> Mali to understand large adaptive<br />
trends and identify new <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g local germplasm for breed<strong>in</strong>g programs published (FS, PST + NARS, 2008)<br />
Output target A.3: Germplasm sets <strong>of</strong> staple crops evaluated for useful traits (2009)<br />
Activity A.3.1: Evaluate germplasm sets <strong>of</strong> staple crops for agronomic characters and special traits for<br />
utilization<br />

Chickpea:<br />
Drought tolerant l<strong>in</strong>es: Twenty accessions selected dur<strong>in</strong>g 2004-2005 season for root depth, a trait related to<br />
drought <strong>in</strong> chickpea were evaluated with four control cultivars (Annigeri, ICC 4958, ICCV 2, ICC 12237) for<br />
yield potential and o<strong>the</strong>r agronomic traits <strong>in</strong> a replicated trial. Among <strong>the</strong> deep-rooted accessions ICC 1356<br />
(3555 kg ha -1 ) produced 36.9 % greater seed yield than <strong>the</strong> drought tolerant control ICC 4958 (2596 kg ha -1 ) and<br />
27.4% greater seed yield than <strong>the</strong> highest yield<strong>in</strong>g control cultivar Annigeri (2790 kg ha -1 ). Similarly, ICC 1431<br />
(2967 kg ha -1 ) and ICC 95 (3124 kg ha -1 ) produced 14.3% and 20.3% higher seed yield than ICC 4958 and 6.3%<br />
and 12.0% higher seed yield than Annigeri, respectively.<br />
In ano<strong>the</strong>r experiment with 20 accessions selected dur<strong>in</strong>g 2004-2005 season for root length density, ano<strong>the</strong>r trait<br />
related to drought <strong>in</strong> chickpea were evaluated with four control cultivars (Annigeri, ICC 4958, ICCV 2, ICC<br />
12237) for yield potential and o<strong>the</strong>r agronomic traits <strong>in</strong> a replicated trial. Among <strong>the</strong> accessions with largest root<br />
length density, ICC 13816 (3120 kg ha -1 ) produced seed yield similar to <strong>the</strong> drought tolerant control ICC 4958<br />
(3095 kg ha -1 ) and <strong>the</strong> highest yield<strong>in</strong>g control cultivar Annigeri (3230 kg ha -1 ).<br />
Large-seeded Kabuli Types: Evaluated 34 large-seeded kabuli chickpea accessions orig<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g from diverse<br />
geographical regions with four control cultivars (ICCV 2, KAK 2, JGK 1, L 550) <strong>in</strong> a replicated trial. ICC<br />
14214 (2063 kg ha -1 ; 53 g 100-seed weight) produced 7.1% greater seed yield and 35.1% higher seed weight<br />
than <strong>the</strong> large seeded and high yield<strong>in</strong>g control cultivar KAK 2 (1927 kg ha -1 ; 39 g 100-seed weight). Similarly,<br />
ICC 6243 (2359 kg ha -1 ; 38 g 100-seed weight) and ICC 16803 (2072 kg ha -1 ; 40 g 100-seed weight) produced<br />
7.5 to 22.4% higher seed yields with similar seed weight to KAK 2. ICC 6210 (1925 kg ha -1 ; 48 g 100-seed<br />
weight), ICC 7347 (1943 kg ha -1 ; 51 g 100-seed weight), and ICC 14203 (1921 kg ha -1 ; 56 g 100-seed weight)<br />
produced similar seed yield with 23.1-45.6% greater seed weight than KAK 2.<br />
Evaluated 16 large-seeded kabuli chickpea accessions, selected from newly assembled accessions, with four<br />
control cultivars (ICCV 2, KAK 2, JGK 1, L 550), <strong>in</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r experiment. ICC 17457 (2468.2 kg ha -1 ; 54.5g<br />
100-seed weight) and ICC 17458 (2216 kg ha-1; 47g 100-seed weight) produced 28.0% and 14.9% greater seed<br />
yield with 47.3% and 28.1% greater 100-seed weight than <strong>the</strong> large seeded and high yield<strong>in</strong>g control cultivar<br />
KAK 2 (1929 kg ha -1 ; 37 g 100-seed weight).<br />
Early Matur<strong>in</strong>g L<strong>in</strong>es: Seventeen early-matur<strong>in</strong>g germplasm accessions and three control cultivars (ICCV 2,<br />
Annigeri, ICCV 96029) were evaluated <strong>in</strong> a replicated yield trial for seed yield related agronomic traits. ICC<br />
16347 (91 days; 1751 kg ha -1 ) matured earlier and produced similar seed yield as <strong>the</strong> early-matur<strong>in</strong>g control<br />
ICCV 2 (97 days; 1772 kg ha -1 ). ICCs 5829, 11916, 13925, and 14368 (1962 – 2434 kg ha -1; 100 days) produced<br />
10.7% to 37.4% greater seed yield and matured similar to ICCV 2.<br />
Extra-Early Kabuli Types: Evaluated 58 elite extra-early matur<strong>in</strong>g kabuli germplasm l<strong>in</strong>es and four control<br />
cultivars (KAK 2, L 550, ICCV 2, JGK 1) under normal and late sown environments. Under normal sown<br />
