There is a general trend of biodiversity loss at global, regional, national and local levels. To monitor this trend, international policy processes have created a wealth of indicators over the last two decades. However, genetic diversity indicators are regrettably absent from comprehensive bio-mo...

Seven perennial species of African origin - Brachiaria arrecta, B. brizantha, B. decumbens, B. dictyoneura, B. humidicola, B. mutica, and B. ruziziensis - have been used as fodder plants, particulary in tropical America. The history of the commercial cultivars is given, and their most important a...

Characterization is important in genetic resources conservation and utilization, but few information about indigenous livestock types are available. In the present study data from 22,934 goats were collected by a rapid survey method to characterize goats of Eritrea and northern and western Ethiop...

The construction of a detailed genetic map of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) will be useful to tag agronomically important trais as well as to isolate and to clone cassava genes in the future. This map will also contribute to the understanding of cassava genomic structure and evolution. As a ...
