Bioinformatic analysis of genotype by sequencing (GBS) data with NGSEP
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/76973
Abstract
Background
Therecent development and availability of different genotype by sequencing (GBS) protocols provided a cost-effective approach to perform high-resolution genomic analysis of entire populations in different species. The central component of all these protocols is the digestion of the initial DNA with known restriction enzymes, to generate…

Ensifer-mediated transformation: an efficient non-Agrobacterium protocol for the genetic modification of rice
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/68724
Abstract
While Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (AMT) remains the most widely used technique for gene transfer in plants, interest exists for the use of non-Agrobacterium gene delivery systems due to freedom-to-operate issues that remain with AMT across several jurisdictions. In addition, the plant pathogenic mode…

Improving index-based drought insurance in varying topography: evaluating basis risk based on perceptions of Nicaraguan hillside farmers
International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/41975
Abstract
This paper discusses a methodology to model precipitation indices and premium prices for index-based drought insurance for smallholders. Spatial basis risk, which is borne by the insured, is a problem, especially in variable topography. Also, site-specific drought risk needs to be…

Abstract
Crop wild relatives have a long history of use in potato breeding, particularly for pest and disease resistance, and are expected to be increasingly used in the search for tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Their current and future use in crop improvement depends on their availability in ex situ germplasm collections. As these plants are…
