432) Development of a prioritised checklist of crop wild relatives for conservation in Malawi
Crop wild relatives (CWR) have the potential to offer the much needed diversity for crop improvement, but their diversity is inadequately conserved. Lack of knowledge about their occurrence in Malawi, limits their systematic conservation and utilisation. Developing a CWR national inventory helps to define...

433) Development of a worldwide consortium on evolutionary participatory breeding in Quinoa
Chenopodium quinoa is gaining global importance due to its excellent protein quality and tolerance of abiotic stresses. Quinoa’s wide genetic diversity has led to its agronomic versatility and adaptation to different soil types, particularly saline soils, and environments with extremely variable conditions...

434) Development of locally-adapted faba bean cultivars for organic conditions in Germany through a participatory breeding approach
Organic farming requires cultivars that are specifically adapted to this low input cropping system. Hence, organic farmers and scientists joined in a participatory breeding approach to develop region-specific genotypes of spring faba bean for organic conditions in Germany. A set of 49 genotypes with...

435) Digital Object Identifiers for food crops - Descriptors and guidelines of the Global Information System
Currently, millions of accessions are conserved in germplasm collections and breeding pools; many of them are duplicates with valuable information that is lost when the material is transferred from one holder to another. Additionally, different user communities such as plant breeders, data curators,...
