The work summarizes both state-of-the-art knowledge and research gaps related to gene flow and introgression between crops and their wild relatives. The information is based on a comprehensive review of the relevant scientific and technical literature. It emphasizes gene transfer from GM crops to...
Published in collaboration with CGN, CPRO-DLO, ODI and IPGRI. The interest in in situ and community conservation approaches has caused significant confusion among professional conservationists. A change in the conservation perspective has suddenly placed genebanks in a complementary role next to ...

Local crop development: An annotated bibliography
This series of monographs intends to draw attention to a number of species which have been neglected in a varying degree by researchers or have been underutilized economically. It is hoped that the information compiled will contribute to: (1) identifying constraints in and possible solutions to t...
Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) is an indigenous African crop that has been cultivated for centuries from Senegal to Kenya, and from the Sahara to South Africa and Madagascar. Despite its drought tolerant properties, bambara groundnut has largely been ignored by the scientific community bei...

Traditional farming systems and conservation of local cultivars and associated indigenous knowledge are under threat and growing pressure resulting in genetic erosion of crop diversity. These systems are an essential component of sustainable crop production, household income and human nutrition f...
