Biomass accumulation response of cassava (Manihot esculenta C.) to NPK fertilization and biofertilizers in two soil types under greenhouse conditions by Pérez Pazos, Jazmín Vanessa, Luna Castellanos, Lily Lorena, Burbano Figueroa, Oscar Alberto

“…Cassava is one of the agricultural products of importance to food security in most developing countries. 50% of national production is concentrated in the Caribbean region, however, yields are low, as a consequence of the poor level of technification of the crop (MADR, 2006). …”

Morphological characterization of eggplant landraces: key for ensuring nutritional quality and biodiversity conservation by Martínez-Ispizua, Eva, Martínez-Cuenca, Mary-Rus, Marsal, José I., Díez, María José, Soler, Salvador, Valcárcel, José Vicente, Calatayud, Ángeles

“…The genetic erosion caused in crops by prioritizing production over quality has led to a loss of biodiversity (Brush, 1992; Castillo, 2008), which compromises global food security. As for eggplant, there is little morphological variability among commercialized eggplants (Hanson et al., 2006), and it is therefore necessary to have a source that helps to increase crop diversity, as are the landraces. …”

Rediscovering Pepper, Eggplant and Lettuce Landraces of the Valencian Community; An Ancient Resource with Vast Potential for the Future by Martínez-Ispizua, Eva

“…Genetic erosion in crops, gained from prioritising production over quality, has led to biodiversity loss, which compromises global food security. By a historic selection process, farmers have been differentiating traditional crop varieties, which are a source of agricultural biodiversity that also favours the development of local economy, which makes their recovery, classification and cultivation key for food economy and the future. …”

CGIAR modeling approaches for resource-constrained scenarios: I. Accelerating crop breeding for a changing climate by Ramirez-Villegas, Julian, Molero Milan, Anabel, Alexandrov, Nickolai, Asseng, Senthold, Challinor, Andrew J., Crossa, Jose, Eeuwijk, Fred van, Ghanem, Michel E., y 14 autores más

“…But, the question remains ‘to what extent can breeding gains be achieved under a changing climate, at a pace sufficient to usefully contribute to climate adaptation, mitigation and food security?’. Here, we address this question by critically reviewing how model-based approaches can be used to assist breeding activities, with particular focus on all CGIAR (formerly the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research but now known simply as CGIAR) breeding programs. …”
