Se presentan los resultados de las investigaciones en frijol de la unidad de biotecnologia del CIAT. Los estudios fueron principalmente sobre: hibridizacion interespecifica, recombinacion entre reservas geneticas, regeneracion de plantas a partir de cultivo de celulas, transformacion genetica, ma...
Wild species in varietal improvement of rice In 1994 the CIAT Rice Project launched a pre-breeding program that crossed the species Oryza rufipogon, O. barthii, and O. glaberrima (O. latifolia was recently introduced) with commercial irrigated and upland rice varieties, using a backcrossing schem...
En 1994, el Proyecto de Arroz del CIAT inició un programa de pre-mejoramiento en el que se tomaron las especies Oryza rufipogon, O. barthii y O. glaberrima (recientemente se introdujo O. latifolia) para cruzarlas con variedades comerciales de arroz de riego y de secano, mediante un esquema de ret...

DNA is the most elemental level of biodiversity, drives the process of speciation, and underpins other levels of biodiversity, including functional traits, species and ecosystems. Until recently biodiversity indicators have largely overlooked data from the molecular tools that are available for m...
Brachiaria grasses, especially R decumbens cv. Basilisk (signalgrass), are the most widely grown pastures in subhumid and humid tropics. When fertilized with nitrogen and well managed, these pastures have high forage quality (measured as digestibility). Animal production is therefore high and rel...

Many important traits in plant breeding exhibit continuous variation (yield, maturity, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, etc.). The genetic principles underlying their inheritance are basically the same as those affecting Mendelian or qualitative traits, but since the segregation of the genes ...
Muchos caracteres de interés agronómico muestran variación continua (rendimiento, precocidad, tolerancia a stress biótico y abiótico, etc.). Los principios genéticos que regulan su herencia son, básicamente, los mismos que afectan a los caracteres Mendelianos o cualitativos; sin embargo, dado que...

The importance of estimating genetic parameters in cassava in order to produce superior performing cv. is highlighted. Different concepts related to phenotypic variance are discussed; variance is divided into genetic (additive, dominance, epistasis) and environmental. Of the former, additive vari...
Se destaca la importancia de la estimacion de los parametros geneticos en la yuca para producir cv. superiores. Se discuten diferentes conceptos relacionados con la varianza fenotipica, la cual se divide en genetica (genetica aditiva, dominancia, epistasis) y ambiental; de las anteriores, la vari...
In October 1995, IPGRI organized a small workshop on the use of molecular techniques in the conservation of plant genetic resources. One area of discussion was the considerable range of different molecular techniques available and the ways in which they could best be used. Deciding on which techn...

When genealogists conduct research on family trees, they often go back across many generations and even centuries to learn as much as possible about where that family originated. Along that same line, scientists at Bioversity International have been doing their own genealogical research for the l...

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) are one of the most degraded vegetation types worldwide and in Colombia<10% of the original cover remains. This calls for urgent conservation measures and restoration efforts. Understanding the genetic diversity and structure of tree species is crucial to i...
