1616) Assessment of phenotypic diversity of Ñuña, a local common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) from the northern Andes in Peru
Ñuña is a local type of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivated in the Andean region of Peru. It stands out for its ability to expand and burst when roasted; however, its phenotypic diversity has not yet been fully explored. This study determined the phenotypic variability of Ñuña conserved...

1617) Germplasm rescue and repatriation
Due to many factors such as increased access and availability of modern varieties, change in market preferences, natural calamities, low productivity of native landraces and climate change, crop landraces are endangered. To prevent the further loss of precious landraces conserved by farmers in different...

1619) Fighting Poverty, Hunger and Malnutrition with Neglected and Underutilized Species: needs, challenges and the way forward
Neglected and underutilized species (NUS) are those to which little attention is paid or which are entirely ignored by agricultural researchers, plant breeders and policymakers. Typically, NUS are not traded as commodities. They are wild or semi-domesticated varieties and non-timber forest species adapted...

1620) Toward an Evolved Concept of Landrace
The term “landrace” has generally been defined as a cultivated, genetically heterogeneous variety that has evolved in a certain ecogeographical area and is therefore adapted to the edaphic and climatic conditions and to its traditional management and uses. Despite being considered by many to be inalterable,...
