Crop wild relatives have a long history of use in potato breeding, particularly for pest and disease resistance, are expected to be increasingly used the search tolerance biotic abiotic stresses. Their current future crop improvement depends on their availability ex situ germplasm collections. As these plants impacted by habitat destruction climate change, actions ensure conservation become ever more urgent. We analyzed state 73 closest (Solanum section Petota) with aim establishing...
Crop wild relatives of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., I. series Batatas] have the potential to contribute breeding objectives for this important root crop. Uncertainty in regard species boundaries and their phylogenetic relationships, limited availability germplasm with which perform crosses, difficulty introgression genes from has constrained utilization. Here we compile geographic occurrence data on relevant produce distribution models species. We then assess comprehensiveness ex...
Heterogeneous and multidisciplinary data generated by research on sustainable global agriculture agrifood systems requires quality labeling or annotation in order to be interoperable. As recommended the FAIR principles, data, labels, metadata must use controlled vocabularies ontologies that are popular knowledge domain commonly used community. Despite existence of robust Life Sciences, there is currently no comprehensive full set for across agricultural disciplines. In this paper, we discuss...
Predicting anopheles vectors' population densities and boundary shifts is crucial in preparing for malaria risks unanticipated outbreaks. Although the distribution boundaries of major vectors (Anopheles gambiae s.s. An. arabiensis) across Africa have been predicted, quantified areas absolute change zone suitability their survival not defined. In this study, we conducive establishment these vectors, per African country, under two climate scenarios based on our findings, highlight practical...
ABSTRACT LATEBLIGHT, a mathematical model that simulates the effect of weather, host growth and resistance, fungicide use on asexual development Phytophthora infestans potato foliage, was validated for Andes Peru. Validation needed due to recent modifications made model, because had not been formally tested outside New York State. Prior validation, procedures estimate starting time epidemic, amount initial inoculum, leaf wetness duration were developed. Observed data validation from field...
Late blight (LB) caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans is one of most important biotic constraints for potato production worldwide. This study assessed 508 accessions (79 wild species and 429 landraces from a cultivated core collection) held at International Potato Center genebank resistance to LB. One P. isolate belonging EC-1 lineage, which currently predominant type in Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, was used whole plant assays under greenhouse conditions. Novel sources LB were found...
Solanum L. es uno de los géneros que posee una alta riqueza especies dentro la flora peruana y Andes tropicales en general. Presentamos lista revisada 276 para el Perú, estas 253 son nativas, mientras 23 introducidas y/o cultivadas. Un total 74 (29% las nativas) endémicas Perú. Además 58 se encuentran solamente pequeñas poblaciones fuera del están designadas aquí como casi destacar rol importante Perú futura protección especies. El pico diversidad observado entre 2500 – 3000 m elevación,...
In the high Andes, environmental and socio-economic drivers are transforming agriculture presumably affecting in situ conservation of potato (Solanum spp.). To monitor use intraspecific diversity, systematic comparative studies across agricultural land-use systems needed. We investigated spatial-temporal dynamics two landscapes Peru’s central Andes: A highland plateau (Huancavelica) compared to an eastern slope (Pasco). examined household-level areal allocations, altitudinal distribution,...
Abstract Sarcoptic mange or scabies is a contagious parasitic skin disease that affects wide range of domestic and wildlife species. A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence, molecular identification, characteristics sarcoptic in vicuñas. total 3,274 vicuñas were examined. Following ritual harvesting events (“chaccus”) 13 Andean communities. The presence mites determined by scraping technique confirmed PCR analysis using specific primers for ITS2 gene Sarcoptes...
Three specific dimensions of potato land use were researched to gain insights into possible contemporary changes affecting the in situ conservation genetic resources: tendencies, rotation designs and their intensity, sectoral fallowing systems. The main research method involved participatory cartography combined with in-depth consultation through interviews focus group meetings members eight Andean highland communities. Land tendencies between 1995 2005 show that total cropping area...
The possible introduction of genetically modified potato in the Andean region raises concerns about unintentional transgenes into native germplasm because it is perceived to convey negative impacts on biodiversity. We investigated this question by an ex-post analysis existing landraces resulting from natural hybridization between unknown landrace and fertile commercial variety 'Yungay'. This can be regarded as exotic was bred part southern Chilean Solanum tuberosum Group Chilotanum. sampled...

Introduction Effective monitoring of the in situ conservation status and change dynamics landrace populations their centers origin ideally requires identification sites that are complementary terms richness, uniqueness coverage genetic diversity. Methods We applied a 4-step approach to identify high potato diversity which will guide set-up network prospective observatories Peru, center origin. A GIS mapping was used determine combination would provide most comprehensive genepool coverage....
The rapid population increase in Lima is leading to an expansion of unplanned informal settlements that lack a number urban services including waste management, clean water and drainage systems.Using ecosystem health approach, the study sought identify most relevant factors affect child related at household level two communities eastern Lima.Workshops, semi-structured surveys, interviews observations were used as mechanisms promote awareness, education understanding.Weekly or bi-weekly...
