BookletKey descriptors for pili nut (Canarium ovatum Engl.) 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The ‘List of descriptors for Canarium ovatum Engl.' consists of a set of characterization and evaluation descriptors which includes a minimum list of highly discriminating descriptors for this species. This strategic set aims at facilitating access to and utilization of pili nut. It does not exclude the addition of other descriptors if needed.The key set of access and utilization descriptors was defined through an online survey, in which 26 experts from 14 different organizations/universities from three countries participated. Survey results were subsequently validated in consultation with a Core Advisory Group.Canarium ovatum, also known as Philippine nut and pili nut, is a dioecious tree species belonging to the Burseraceae family. It is an important endemic tree in the Philippines and the centre of diversity is in Bicol, Leyte and Samar Islands. -
BookletKey descriptors for Sclerocarya birrea (marula) 2021
Also available in:
No results found.This Descriptor list consists of an initial minimum set of characterization and evaluation descriptors for Sclerocarya birrea. This strategic set aims at facilitating access to and utilization of this African indigenous fruit tree. It does not exclude the addition of other descriptors at a later date. The strategic set of data standards is designed to facilitate access to and utilization of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture information. Together with passport information, descriptors are critical to the effective sharing of characterization and evaluation data and to the efficient use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. -
BookletKey descriptors for fodder trees 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The key descriptors for fodder trees consist of an initial minimum set of characterization and evaluation descriptors for some species of the family Fabaceae (Leguminosae). This strategic set aims at facilitating access to and utilization of these species, and it does not exclude the addition of other descriptors later. This work has been done jointly with the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the FAO International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. The key set of access and utilization descriptors was defined through an online survey, in which 24 experts from 14 different organizations and universities from 13 countries participated. Fodder trees are an important feed resource for livestock, providing feed in the dry season when other forages may be in short supply. Their deep-rooting nature and fast growth have made them a valuable feed resource to extend the use of sown forages over longer periods of the year in tropical and subtropical areas. Fodder trees come from a wide range of plant families, but these general fodder tree descriptors are intended to be used for characterization and evaluation of a group from the family Fabaceae (Leguminosae), Calliandra calothyrsus, Cytisus proliferus, Gliricidia sepium, Sesbania sesban and Faidherbia albida. These are all fast-growing species already adopted by smallholder farmers worldwide.
