  • Genes in the Fieldby Stephen B. Brush

    International Development Research Centre 2000; US$ 30.00

    The diversity of crop plants is one of our most important biological resources, and the most important source of crop genes are the fields of peasant farmers in regions where crop domestication and evolution have occurred. Today, however, crop genes are threatened by social and technological change such as human population growth, the use of new agricultural technologies, the development of new varieties, and the commercialization of agriculture. Gene banks have been successful in capturing much of the genetic diversity of crop species, but it is also essential that the environmental systems where the crop genes evolve also be conserved. This work provides an interdisciplinary foundation for an important new conservation program: maintaining... more...

  • The Genetic Diversity of Cacao and its Utilizationby B.G.D. Bartley

    CAB International 2005; US$ 140.00

    An understanding of genetic resources is an essential prerequisite for any breeding programme. The cacao (Theobroma cacao) plant has a rich genetic diversity that exists at two levels: that of the primitive populations in the area of original distribution of the species, and that of the derived cultivated populations. more...
