No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Biotechnology in forest tree improvement with special reference to developing countries 1994
Also available in:
This document reports on the present state and future potential of biotechnologies in forest tree breeding, with special reference to their application in developing countries. It concludes that new technologies offer possibilities that will greatly facilitate the work of the tree breeder in the future, but stresses that potential gains can only be realized if the technologies are based on thorough biological, genetic and silvicultural knowledge of concerned species and applied within existing, sound tree-improvement programmes. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetOn-farm conservation and mining of local durum wheat and barley landraces of Tunisia for biotic and abiotic stresses, enhanced food security and adaptation to climate change 2011
Also available in:
No results found.For more information, visit the ITPGRFA website . This project is expected to enhance on-farm conservation and use of durum wheat and barley, and to initiate targeted hybridization to incorporate stress resistance into the farmers’ preferred local landraces to increase yields and build resilience in face of climatic shocks. -
Book (series)Genomic characterization of animal genetic resources
Practical guide
2023Also available in:
No results found.Molecular biotechnologies have developed rapidly and substantially since the release of these previous guidelines. The livestock sector has been an active participant in the so-called “genomic revolution.” Advancements in the sequencing of genomes and related genotyping methods have created opportunities for gathering much more information on the molecular level than ever possible, at a faster rate, and for exponentially decreased costs. Scientists and other livestock stakeholders in countries with highly developed economies have been among the main beneficiaries of this revolution. However, the greatly decreased costs of genomic applications have also created opportunities in countries with developing and transitional economies. In many instances, the lack of awareness of these opportunities and in the technical capacity for the full application of genomic tools may represent a greater obstacle to their utilization than the expenses involved. The development of these guidelines and the subsequent application of the information contained herein may help to bridge this gap, bringing new opportunities to light and transferring knowledge that can be used to increase the genetic characterization of AnGR and subsequently improve the sustainable use and conservation of livestock genetic diversity.
