Reports the work in progress at ILCA on appropriate methods of collecting Digitaria species and multiplying these former species and Leucaena leucocephala, Erythrina brucei and Sesbania sesban in vitro. Discusses their potential use in forage genetic resources. Discusses inoculation of stem cutti...

Report of a Working Group on Forages: Held in Larissa, Greece, 7-8 February 1984
We describe a method of fitting a model of germplasm distribution to climate data and illustrate it`s use in mapping the continental distribution of five Stylosanthes species. The climate data used are the monthly totals of rainfall and the monthly mean temperatures and diurnal temperature ranges...

Genetic diversity in Stylosanthes species : a GIS mapping approach
Two main reasons are identified for maintaining permanent field collections of tropical forages: (1) the inability to produce reliably sufficient and viable seed, and (2) outcrossing or highly heterozygous species where particular genotypes or populations should be conserved. The history, origin ...
Discusses the theoritical and practical aspects of forage germ-plasm collection. Describes the value of the germ plasm pool, characteristics of forage plants, identification of collection areas, sampling strategy, numbers of plants sampled per size, amount of seed per accession, number of accessi...
