Conservation and availability of plant genetic diversity: innovative strategies and technologies
Bioversity International (Bioversity International)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/69254
Abstract
The conservation of plant genetic diversity underpins the future of agriculture and food security and is critical to ensure the ability of future generations to cope with global environmental changes. Yet plant genetic resources, including those of horticultural crops and their wild relatives, are increasingly being lost,…

Microbial community structure in disease-suppressive soils as revealed by metabarcoding
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/118303
Abstract
Plant diseases caused by soil-borne bacterial pathogens result in significant yield losses and these pathogens are the most difficult to control due to their persistence in debris and soil. Enhancement of soil-natural disease suppression could be an effective option to control these diseases through soil management practices. The suppression of soil-borne diseases of soil microbial bacteria and fungi…

Decision matrix of a climate services global meta-analysis
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/116612
Abstract
Harmonizing the supply of climate information with the type of information needed by next-users is crucial for effective weather and climate services (CS). Understanding of information demand could help reshape supply side based CS that have dominated the field over the last few decades. Most CS have been developed using a ‘loading dock’ model, whereby products are designed by information suppliers with little input from or…

Abstract
Biochemical characterisation of germplasm collections and crop wild relatives (CWRs) facilitates the assessment of biological potential and the selection of breeding lines for crop improvement. Data from the biochemical characterisation of staple root, tuber and banana (RTB) crops, i.e. banana (Musa spp.), cassava (Manihot esculenta), potato (Solanum tuberosum), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and yam (Dioscorea…
