Fine-mapping of a major QTL controlling angular leaf spot resistance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/66584
Abstract
A major QTL for angular leaf spot resistance in the common bean accession G5686 was fine-mapped to a region containing 36 candidate genes. Markers have been developed for marker-assisted selection. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an important grain legume and an essential protein source for human nutrition…

A bitter cup: climate change profile of global production of Arabica and Robusta coffee
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/53031
Abstract
Coffee has proven to be highly sensitive to climate change. Because coffee plantations have a lifespan of about thirty years, the likely effects of future climates are already a concern. Forward-looking research on adaptation is therefore in high demand across the entire supply chain. In this paper we seek to project current and…

The malleability of participation: the politics of agricultural research under neoliberalism in Bolivia
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/51657
Abstract
This article analyses how neoliberal restructuring encouraged the use of participatory methods in agricultural research in Bolivia and how, at a later stage, participatory development initiatives had to be adapted to prevent conflicts with the post‐neoliberal views of farmer organizations. The article contributes to…

Reliable molecular identification of nine tropical whitefly species

https://hdl.handle.net/10568/51662
Abstract
The identification of whitefly species in adult stage is problematic. Morphological differentiation of pupae is one of the better methods for determining identity of species, but it may vary depending on the host plant on which they develop which can lead to misidentifications and erroneous naming of new species. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)…
