In the so-called difficult environments, institutional plant breeding appears to be a failure, mainly because breeding is directed at increasing yields in more favorable environments. Although the improved varieties have broad adaptability, under varied marginal envi...

This paper highlights the role of fanners in crop improvement and managing agro biodiversity. The fiddling’s are mostly based on focus-group discussions and field observations. Documentation of farmers' knowledge and experiences in crop improvement and managing agro biodiversity may serve as a re...

Common beans were introduced from the Americas to China over 400 years ago and presently constitute an important export crop in many areas of the country. Evaluation of the genetic diversity present in Chinese accessions of common beans is essential for conservation, management and utilization of...

The assumed relationship between biodiversity or local richness and the persistence of ‘ecosystem services’ (that can sustain productivity on-site as well as off-site, e.g. through regulation of water flow and storage) in agricultural landscapes has generated considerable interest and a range of ...

Genetic diversity of populations stored ex situ or in situ can be altered due to the management practices they are subjected to. In this paper, we compare populations of two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) landraces grown on farms with material collected from the same farms and now kept in tw...

In Bolivia, the plant families Araceae and Bromeliaceae offer numerous non-timber products, including ornamental plants, medicines, foods, and fibers. The economic potential for the utilization of these resources depends critically on the distribution of potentially useful species in different ec...
