Agrobiodiversity zones and the register of native crops in Peru " We are diverse … we shall always be " Said by a colleague from IIAP Dedication To my wife Rosie for her love and affection, and my sons Manolo and Alonso for their patience. Underlying an extensive recognition of the importance of agrobiodiversity and native crops in Peru, there is a relatively recent phenomenon in urban sectors ...

The optimal use of legume genetic resources represents a key prerequisite for coping with current agriculture-related societal challenges, including conservation agrobiodiversity, agricultural sustainability, food security, and human health. Among legumes, the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is most economically important consumption, its evolutionary trajectories as species have been crucial ...

Conservation biologists have allocated an Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot among 34 regions around the world especially rich in plants, animals, and other species (Myers et al., 2000). More than 13,500 different vascular plant species, of which 7000 are endemic, have been detected in this hotspot (Tordoff et al., 2012). Ninety years ago, the Russian scientist Vavilov (1926) pointed to the richne...

Do transgenic crops cause agrobiodiversity erosion? We hypothesize that they increase productivity and reduce production risk and may therefore reduce farmer demand for onfarm varietal diversity, especially when only a few transgenic varieties are available. We also hypothesize that varietal diversity can be preserved when more transgenic varieties are supplied. These hypotheses are tested and ...

We investigated the spatial genetic structure of the tiger meta-population in the Satpura-Maikal landscape of central India using population- and individual-based genetic clustering methods on multilocus genotypic data from 273 individuals. The Satpura-Maikal landscape is classified as a global-priority Tiger Conservation Landscape (TCL) due to its potential for providing sufficient habitat tha...
