Local working collections as the foundation for an integrative conservation of Theobroma cacao L. in Latin America
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/128338
Abstract
The intraspecific diversity of cacao has traditionally been preserved in genebanks. However, these establishments face various challenges, notably insufficient funding, accession redundancy, misidentification and lack of wild cacao population samples. In natural environments, it is expected that unknown varieties of cacao may still be found, but wild populations of cacao
are…

Harmonize rules for digital sequence information benefit-sharing across UN frameworks
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/158136
Abstract
As multiple UN fora develop parallel rules for sharing benefits from digital sequence information, we urge better coordination. International policymakers should focus on harmonizing new benefit-sharing rules to ensure open access to data, database interoperability, and better benefit sharing outcomes.

Abstract
Spittlebug complex (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) includes the main tropical pests in Central and South America in cultivated pastures. We aimed to estimate the potential distribution of Aeneolamia varia, A. lepidior, A. reducta, Prosapia simulans, Zulia carbonaria, and Z. pubescens throughout the Neotropics using ecological…

NYMPHSTAR: an accurate high-throughput quantitative method for whitefly (Aleurotrachelus socialis Bondar) resistance phenotyping in cassava
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/127998
Abstract
Whitefly (Aleurotrachelus socialis Bondar) is an important pest causing high economic losses in cassava production systems in the north of South America. It reduces the plant’s photosynthesis by colonizing the cassava leaves and either directly feeding on their phloem sap or excreting substances that allow the growth of sooty mold and the consequent…

Understanding the complexity of disease-climate interactions for rice bacterial panicle blight under tropical conditions
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/117965
Abstract
Bacterial panicle blight (BPB) caused by Burkholderia glumae is one of the main concerns for rice production in the Americas since bacterial infection can interfere with the grain-filling process and under severe conditions can result in high sterility. B. glumae has been detected in several rice-growing areas of Colombia and other countries of Central and Andean regions…

Strengthening banana seed systems among smallholder farmers in Bugiri District, Uganda
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/181998
Abstract
Farmer-managed banana seed systems support biodiversity but risk spreading pests and diseases. As demand for high-quality disease-free seed grows, formal seed systems with strict standards offer a solution. However, guidance on how to effectively integrate these systems and key actors remains limited, hindering sustainable banana production. The study investigates interactions between formal and farmer-…

Canopy cover evolution, diurnal patterns and leaf area index relationships in a Mchare and Cavendish banana cultivar under different soil moisture regimes
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119202
Abstract
The biggest abiotic threat to banana (Musa spp.) production is water deficit, but physiological indicators in plantations are lacking. Canopy Cover (CC) seems to be a relevant parameter, but so far not used in banana fields. Field experiments were conducted to determine the effect of optimal irrigation (FI) versus rainfed (RF) on CC and…
