Molecular Cytogenetics, Superdomestication, Biodiversity and Crop Breeding
Please #39;Like #39; and follow at http://www.molcyt.org Climate Proofing of Food Crops, through genetic improvement for adaptation, is an important, medium-term, objective to ensure food-security and increase production while enhancing the sustainability of agriculture. In the video here, I discuss some of the challenges plant researchers are addressing, and review some of the collaborative work of our Molecular Cytogenetics group that relates to understanding crop evolution, measuring biodiversity, and exploiting and quantifying genetic diversity by hybridization, mapping, introgression, and cell fusion. A detailed discussion of this talk is given at molcyt.org while references to our work in the general areas I am talking about at http://www.molcyt.com, under Publications. Please watch in HD high definition if your internet connection allows.

We all know that climate is climate change and its mitigation are critical Some of the challenges are summed up in the top photograph from south of Addis Abbaba in the the Rift Valley of Ethiopia. Drought and unpredictable climate prevent crops timely establishment of crops, and the consequences are exacerbated by overgrazing and collection of trees for fuelwood, themselves consequences of population growth, and all leading to loss of ...From:Pat Heslop-HarrisonViews:2 1ratingsTime:20:54More inScience Technology
