Aspects related to breeding programs in cassava, the impact of past strategies and exptl results related to them are discussed. Even though sources of resistance have been identified for the majority of the diseases and pests, in addition to tolerance to adverse edaphic and climatic factors, it i...

Numerous plants harbor viral sequences of known viruses in their genome albeit the integration in the host genome is not required in the life cycle of plant viruses. In banana, sequences of Banana streak virus (BSV) integrated within the B genome of banana plants as eBSV (endogenous BSV) spontane...

Describing the genetic diversity in the gene pool of crops will provide breeders with novel resources for varietal improvement. Nested Association Mapping (NAM) populations are uniquely suited for characterizing parental diversity through the shuffling and fixation of parental haplotypes. Here, w...

The papers in this volume were originally presented at a workshop on participatory plant breeding. The workshop was convened to crystallize a novel approach that plant breeders, genetic resource conservationists and social scientists were demonstrating with increasing success. That approach is to...

Technical guidelines are targeted to practical forest managers and provide summarized information on the biology and ecology of tree species, distribution ranges, importance and use, genetic knowledge, threats to genetic diversity and recommendations for long-term genetic conservation. For the fu...
The Coconut Genetic Resources Network (COGENT) decided to hold a workshop to discuss alternative uses for coconut which can help increase the competitiveness of the coconut. Researchers from 12 countries who are working on these new alternative coconut products were invited to present their resea...
