Identification of presumed ancestral DNA sequences of phaseolin in Phaseolus vulgaris por Kami, James, Becerra Velásquez, Viviana L., Debouck, Daniel G., Gepts, Paul L.

“…The presumed ancestral phaseolin sequences, without tandem repeats, were found in recently discovered but nearly extinct wild common bean populations of Ecuador and northern Peru that are intermediate between the two major gene pools of the species based on geographical and molecular arguments. Our results illustrate the usefulness of tandem direct repeats in establishing the polarity of DNA sequence divergence and therefore in proposing phylogenies.…”

Institutional Options for Entry of Agroforestry into the CGIAR System por CGIAR Technical Advisory Committee Agroforestry Panel

It outlines the arguments made about the importance of agroforestry and the changing role of ICRAF, reviews past research, and provides a stocktaking of what institutions are doing in the field, drawn largely from the work of the TAC Forestry Panel.Three possible options are identified: carrying out agroforestry research through existing IARCs, restructuring the CGIAR system into a series of regional/agroecological centers; and combining either of the first two options with a role for ICRAF as a focal point, also continuing hands on research in Africa. …”
