A survey was carried out in Central Costa Rica in Jan. 1987, in an attempt to find web blight resistance in native var.; 43 samples representing 10 different taxa were found. Wild P. vulgaris was found in 2 different places in the province of San Jose; both populations presented truly wild charac...

No wild Phaseolus bean germplasm is currently available from seed banks for Ecuador. Because of the decisive importance of the wild forms in evolutionary studies of the bean crops, and given the key geographical situation of that country in the northern Andes, a joint exploration was recently car...

Badnaviruses (family Caulimoviridae, genus Badnavirus) have emerged as serious pathogens especially affecting the cultivation of tropical crops. Badnavirus sequences can be integrated in host genomes, complicating the detection of episomal infections and the assessment of viral genetic diversity ...
Molecular markers facilitate rapid and environment-neutral characterization of the pattern of genetic diversity. The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) at Patancheru, India, has developed a large number and diverse range of maintainer lines (B-lines) and re...

The resistance of 9 bean cv. to isolates of Thanatephorus cucumeris collected from either leaves (Th-5) or roots (Rs-8) of infected plants was tested under controlled conditions in growth chambers (22-25 degrees Celsius, 80-100 percent RH and 12 h artificial light). Adequate concn. of inoculum of...

An analysis of food crop germplasm flows into and out of Bhutan was carried out to determine the extent of reliance of Bhutanese agriculture on introduced germplasm. Methods used included literature review, key informant interviews, field visits and crop pedigree analysis. Bhutan has been introdu...

A study was initiated on selected populations of Trifolium tembense collected from the Ethiopian highlands. The species was an annual autogamous clover which is native to the African highlands. In the study, both plant and soil variables were utilized for investigating possible LbP (local breedin...

Alfalfa or lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage legume grown extensively in the world. There have been relatively few investigations on the adaptation of alfalfa to soils found in suitable eco-zones in Africa. In the present investigations, twenty accessions were evaluated for tole...
