Report from TAC on its Review of 2001 Centre Financing Plans by CGIAR Technical Advisory Committee

“…TAC commented also on funding by commodity, and systemwide activity, and reviewed the situation at each center.TAC called attention to several broad concerns: shortfalls in germplasm improvement at a time when molecular genetics offered major opportunities; imbalance in the crops portfolio, under-investment in livestock for which increased demand was projected, and relative underinvestment in water at a time when lack of access to fresh water was becoming a key constraint to global food production.The report was submitted for consideration by the Finance Committee at CGIAR International Centers Week in October 2000.…”

The history of African village chickens: An archaeological and molecular perspective by Mwacharo, Joram M., Bjornstad, G., Han Jianlin, Hanotte, Olivier H.

“…Sociocultural, linguistic, archaeological and historic data all suggest a complex history for the species in Africa, characterized by multiple maritime and/or terrestrial introductions over time and several dispersal routes towards and within Africa. Molecular genetics information supports these observations and in addition suggests possible Asian centers of origin for African domestic chickens, including South Asia and Island Southeast Asia. …”

Current strategies of polyploid plant genome sequence assembly by Kyriakidou, M., Tai, H.H., Anglin, Noelle L., Ellis, David, Stromvik, M.V.

“…Here, we review the challenges of the assembly of polyploid plant genomes, and also present recent advances in genomic resources and functional tools in molecular genetics and breeding. As genomes of diploid and less heterozygous progenitor species are increasingly available, we discuss the lack of complexity of these currently available reference genomes as they relate to polyploid crops. …”

The genes and genomes of the potato by Ghislain, M., Douches, D.S.

“…Concluding on an optimistic note, we have many reasons, and evidence is starting to mount, that potato crop improvement is finally benefiting from decades of investment in molecular genetics and that the future hold the promises of faster releases of more robust varieties to pest, disease, and climatic extremes, as well as nutritionally enhanced varieties to feed an ever-growing world population.…”
