International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/53114
Abstract
The goal of this work was to establish a transformation pipeline for upland Curinga rice (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica) with bar gene selection employing bialaphos and phosphinothricin as selection agents. The following genes of interest: AtNCED3, Lsi1, GLU2, LEW2, PLD-alpha, DA1, TOR, AVP1, and Rubisco were cloned into the…

Abstract
Cassava is a high-yielding crop, well adapted to areas of the tropics with low, uncertain rainfall and mean temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius.It has the ability to grow on very acid soils where few other crops will grow atall; however, highest yields are obtained under more fertile conditions. It willnot tolerate excessive moisture in the soil, which leads to root rots and lower yields. It…

The role of seed systems in the adoption of improved forages: the Colombian case
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/111071
Abstract
Forage improvement processes, which began in Latin America in the 1980’s, have resulted in the release of new cultivars and hybrids superior in terms of productivity, sustainability and adaptability. Increasing the adoption rate of these technologies stands as one of the most promising strategies for the sustainable intensification of…
