The Amazon river dolphin, genus Inia, is endemic to the major river basins of northern South America. No previous studies have focused on the genetic structure of this genus. In this work, 96 DNA samples from specimens of this genus were collected in the Orinoco basin (four rivers), the Putumayo ...

Plant-to-plant phenotypic variation has been observed within accessions of S. capitata maintained at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) since shortly following introduction. A small experiment was conducted to determine the potential importance of natural outcrossing as a cau...
A breeding program to select low-mimosine lines of leucaena has been in progress since 1970. Selections were evaluated in two field trials at Lansdown. Although the low-mimosine selections did indeed have lower mimosine than the control cultivars, their dry matter yield was also inferior (about t...

The yield attributes of 18 accessions of Centrosema, comprising the species, C. macrocarpum, C. brasilianum, Centrosema sp. nov. were compared in two experiments under a cutting regime. Small, grazed swards of various Centrosema spp. sown with Andropogon gayanus in mixture were also studied, with...

Breeding efforts have focused on improving agronomic traits of the cassava plant however little research has been done to enhance the crop palatability. This review investigates the links between cassava traits and end-user preference in relation with sensory characteristics. The main trait is st...

Progress on the observations regarding genetic variability in some Phaseolus spp. is summarized, based on an analysis of phaseollin and isozime variability. In a group of 270 cv. from Latin America, most of them wild, the variability of 8 loci of isozimes was analyzed. Binding data of 5 of these ...

The genetic basis of quantitative disease resistance has been studied in crops for several decades as an alternative to R gene mediated resistance. The most important disease in the potato crop is late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans. Quantitative disease resistance (QDR), a...
