Abstract
Indigenous in Ethiopia where it is grown in rotation with cereals and pulses, niger (Guizotia abyssinica) is an important oilseed crop supplying 50% of Ethiopian oilseed production. It is also grown in India in marginal areas where it contributes a small but important part of oilseed production (3%). This monograph describes the genetic resources of niger and reviews various aspects of its taxonomy and nomenclature, botany, reproduction, evolution…

Ecogeography, demography, diversity and conservation of Phaseolus lunatus L. in the Central Valley of Costa Rica
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/105003
Abstract
Much has been said about the need to base biodiversity conservation strategies on solid scientific foundations, for example in international agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and The State of the World's Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. Of course, this requires data, often in large amounts. The task of collating and analyzing these…
