Exploring Southern Africa's Crop Diversity
Welcome to the African Plant Genomics research group website! Our goal is to develop genomic resources for indigenous African subsistence crops with a team of plant biologists whose expertise spans molecular biology through genomics to breeding.
Explore African Plant Genomics
Dedicated to developing genomics resources for under-researched indigenous crops through North-South collaborative initiatives.
Genomic Research Services
We study genomic diversity of subsistence crops to enhance conservation and improvement efforts in agriculture.
Plant Genome Variation Insights
Our research on horned melon informs strategies for applying its agronomically valuable traits in agriculture.
Disease Resistance Studies
We investigate the genetic basis of root-knot nematode resistance in horned melon.
We drive collaborative research and capacity-building initiatives with partners in Africa.
Partnerships for Progress
Herbarium Digitisation
We use low-cost resources coupled with AI to curate herbarium collections.
