Ortiz, R.Swennen, R.L.[From crossbreeding to biotechnology-facilitated improvement of banana and plantain]From crossbreeding to biotechnology-facilitated improvement of banana and plantain

Sustainable resource management is the critical agricultural research and development challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. The accumulated knowledge on soil management gathered over the last 10 years, combined with solid crop improvement and plant health research at farmers’ level, has brought us to ...


Sanginga, N.Dashiell, Kenton E.Diels, J.Vanlauwe, BernardLyasse, O.Carsky, R.J.Tarawali, S.Asafo-Adjei, B.Menkir, A.Schulz, S.Singh, B.B.Chikoye, D.Keatinge, D.Ortiz, R.[Sustainable resource management coupled to resilient germplasm to provide new intensive cerealgrainlegumelivestock systems in the dry savanna]Sustainable resource management coupled to resilient germplasm to provide new intensive cerealgrainlegumelivestock systems in the dry savanna

Plant breeding may lead to narrowing genetic diversity of cultivated crops, thereby affecting sustained selection gains in crop improvement. A total of 47 microsatellite primer pairs (mapped to the 21 wheat genetic linkage groups) were assessed in 75 Nordic spring wheat cultivars bred during the ...


Christiansen, M.J.Andersen, S.B.Ortiz, R.[Diversity changes in an intensively bred wheat germplasm during the 20th Century]Diversity changes in an intensively bred wheat germplasm during the 20th Century

We explore the role of agriculture in destabilizing the Earth system at the planetary scale, through examining nine planetary boundaries, or “safe limits”: land-system change, freshwater use, biogeochemical flows, biosphere integrity, climate change, ocean acidification, stratospheric ozone deple...


Campbell, Bruce M.Beare, Douglas J.Bennett, Elena M.Hall-Spencer, Jason M.Ingram, John S. I.Jaramillo, FernandoOrtiz, R.Ramankutty, NavinSayer, Jeffrey A.Shindell, Drew[Agriculture production as a major driver of the Earth system exceeding planetary boundaries]Agriculture production as a major driver of the Earth system exceeding planetary boundaries

Selection of an appropriate sampling strategy is an important prerequisite to establish core collections of appropriate size in order to adequately represent the genetic spectrum and maximally capture the genetic diversity in available crop collections. We developed a simulation approach to ident...


Chandra, S.Huaman, Z.Hari Krishna, S.Ortiz, R.[Optimal sampling strategy and core collection size of Andean tetraploid potato based on isozyme data: a simulation study]Optimal sampling strategy and core collection size of Andean tetraploid potato based on isozyme data: a simulation study

Crop biotechnology seems to be in its infancy in Africa, some national researchers are well trained in this area but lack of funding from their national governments does not allow them take advantage of their knowledge and professional skills. Among the agro-biotechnology tools, tissue culture ra...


Crouch, J.H.Ortiz, R.[Applied genomics in the improvement of crops grown in Africa]Applied genomics in the improvement of crops grown in Africa

The burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a serious threat to sustainable banana production worldwide. A promising way of controlling nematodes is through the development and deployment of resistant cultivars. This usually involves crossing triploid cultivars with fertile diploids to produce...


Dochez, C.Whyte, J.Tenkouano, A.Ortiz, R.Waele, D. de[Response of East African highland bananas and hybrids to Radopholus similis]Response of East African highland bananas and hybrids to Radopholus similis

More than 400 million people in the developing world depend on dryland agriculture for their livelihoods. Dryland agriculture involves a complex combination of productive components: staple crops, vegetables, livestock, trees and fish interacting principally with rangeland, cultivated areas and w...


Ginkel, M. vanSayer, Jeffrey A.Sinclair, Fergus L.Aw-Hassan, Aden A.Bossio, Deborah A.Craufurd, Peter Q.Mourid, M.E.Haddad, N.Hoisington, D.A.Johnson, Nancy L.Velarde, C.L.Mares, V.Mude, Andrew G.Nefzaoui, A.Noble, A.D.Rao, K.P.C.Serraj, R.Tarawali, Shirley A.Vodouhe, R.S.Ortiz, R.[An integrated agro-ecosystem and livelihood systems approach for the poor and vulnerable in dry areas]An integrated agro-ecosystem and livelihood systems approach for the poor and vulnerable in dry areas
