Breeding cassava relies on a phenotypic recurrent selection that takes advantage of the vegetative propagation of this crop. Successive stages of selection (single row trial- SRT; preliminary yield trial – PYT; advanced yield trial – AYT; and uniform yield trials UYT), gradually reduce the number...

Cassava breeding II: phenotypic correlations through the different stages of selection
Ethiopia is one of the most populous countries in Africa, with more than 96 million inhabitants, 80% of whom are engaged in small-scale agriculture, and often subsistence farming. We involved 60 smallholder farmers in two locations in Ethiopia to evaluate traits of their interest in 400 wheat acc...

Predictive characterization methods use ecogeographical and climatic data derived from the specific location of a collecting or observation site, to predict characteristics of accessions and populations that can inform conservation and use options. The predictive characterization methods presente...

Metodologías Participativas para el Mejoramiento Genético del Frijol Común 1
Participatory plant breeding is seen by several scientists as a way to overcome the
limitations of conventional breeding by offering farmers the possibility of deciding
which varieties better suit their needs and conditions without exposing them to any risk.
It exploits the potential gains of bre...
