Diploid cultivated species, haploids derived from tetraploid cultivars, and their wildSolanum relatives were used to generate various diploid potato genetic stocks. These stocks have significant value in potato breeding because: 1) genetic diversity in the potato population can be kept variable w...

Diploid potato germplasm derived from wild and landrace genetic resources
Esterase isozymes were chosen for fingerprinting CIAT`s cassava germplasm colleciton, because of (1) their technical repeatability; (2) high polymorphism (i.e., many alleles per locus); and (3) high numner of bands detectable in cassava clones (i.e., at least a few loci are expressed). A total of...

The use of ploidy manipulations in potato breeding has been successfully applied by breeders at the International Potato Center (CIP) as a tool for germplasm enhancement and for the introduction of desirable genes of wild species into the cultivated gene pool. This methodology consists in reducin...

The responsibility of CIAT`s Genetic Resources Unit in the preservation of germplasm of beans (Phaseolus), cassava and its wild relatives (Manihot), and tropical forages (legumes and/or grasses) is pointed out. The main characteristics of the collections are indicated. Distribution, improvement a...
