Abstract
Originating in South America, cassava is now grown in over 100 countries around the world. It is the third most important source of calories in the tropics after rice and maize. Its caloric value, as well as its ability to tolerate dry conditions and poor soils, makes it a key food security crop in developing countries,…

Inducción de floración-I
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/105760
Abstract
La floración en yuca está estrechamente ligada a la ramificación de las plantas. La altura de la primera ramificación es, por lo tanto, muy baja en clones que florecen temprano. Los agricultores prefieren clones de arquitectura erecta que ramifican tarde (o nunca). Esto es un problema para el mejoramiento porque los patrones de floración son altamente heredables. Es necesario, por lo tanto, inducir a plantas que generalmente no florecen o florecen muy tarde, lo…

Abstract
“In Vietnam, we cannot talk about CIAT without mentioning the cassava story. This is one of the most successful stories of international cooperation. Until the recent years, in the 1990s, this crop was neglected with a few thousand hectares, and had almost no significant economic value. Farmers grew for their local need. Thanks to the continuing effort from scientists of CIAT in cooperation with breeders and farmers in Vietnam, productivity of cassava has doubled…

Two degrees up—Part One: Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/10240
Abstract
Small coffee producers in Colombia are already feeling the effects of climate change on this vital, high-value cash crop. At higher elevations in the southwestern Cauca department, production is still profitable, but as you move downhill you see the effect of what a two-degree temperature rise - projected for 2050 - could mean for the future of coffee production: devastated crops, and coffee farmers who have abandoned their coffee plants and been forced to…
