This subset comprises of 44 accessions of high-quality fruit- and leaf-producing Baobab (Adansonia digitata) conserved at the Samanko Field Genebank in Mali. Baobab is an indigenous African multipurpose tree with significant nutritional, medicinal, and economic value. In the Sahel region, it plays a critical role in supporting food security and livelihoods, particularly during the dry season, due to its nutrient-rich fruit pulp and edible leaves used as vegetables. The fruit pulp is especially notable for its high vitamin C content, approximately eight times that of orange, along with essential minerals and dietary fiber, contributing significantly to household nutrition. Beyond its nutritional importance, the species supports income generation and provides key ecological benefits, including drought tolerance, soil conservation, and biodiversity support. It also holds strong cultural significance within local communities.
