The genetic diversity of 76 accessions of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.), collected mostly from home gardens, was assessed with AFLPs and seed descriptors to evaluate the potential for recovering a lost ex situ collection in Cuba. The sample contained 60 accessions collected from 25 home garden...

AFLPs and morphological diversity of Phaseolus lunatus L. in Cuban home gardens : Approaches to recovering the lost ex situ collection
This document is targeted to researchers using genetic marker technologies to generate and exchange genetic marker data that are standardized and replicable. This initial proposed set of descriptors was reviewed widely by international experts from national research institutions, universities and...

Strategic approaches to targeting technology generation : assessing the coincidence of poverty and drought-prone crop production
To determine the most important production constraints and associated yield losses for six major food crops in 13 farming systems with high poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and East Asia, surveys were conducted with 672 experts representing a diversity of backgrounds and experience. Resp...

An assessment of the diversity in global cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genetic resources based on simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers
Understanding the distribution of genetic diversity within and among individuals, populations, species and gene pools is crucial for the efficient management of germplasm collections. Molecular markers are playing an increasing role in germplasm characterization, yet their broad application is li...

The world s poorest and most vulnerable farmers on the whole have not benefited from international agricultural research and development. Past efforts have tried to increase the production of countries in more favourable environments; farmers with relatively higher potential for improvement benef...

Strategic approaches to targeting technology generation: assessing the coincidence of poverty and drought-prone crop production
Several molecular marker systems have been developed for assessing genetic diversity in crop germplasm collections. A trade-off often exists between the number of loci that can feasibly be sampled by a marker system and the amount of information provided by each locus. We compared the usefulness ...
