It was a pleasure to join Jan Nyssen from Ghent University, to write this working paper about banana varieties of Tigray, Ethiopia. Bluggoe, Cavendish and Mutika types thrive in the deep valleys of the Irob district. #BananaDiversity

Just came across some pics of an ornamental hybrid we created some years ago: M. laterita × velutina. Some warm colors for this appealing hybrid in the CIRAD collection!

Morales-Castilla et al find that cultivar diversity halved potential losses of winegrowing regions under a 2 °C warming scenario and could reduce losses by a third if warming reaches 4 °C. Read it in PNAS @AgroBRC_RARe @Genresbridge

The uptake of genetic div. in maize breeding programs can be well organized via public-private partnerships and genomic selection say Allier et al, . A good premise for emerging maize Europ. Eval. Network under ECPGR’s auspices! @AgroBRC_RARe @Genresbridge

Recurrent introductions of donors improved with a bridging strategy allows maintaining the genetic div. in maize breeding programs while increasing mid- & long-term performances & only limited penalty at short-term. Allier et al @AgroBRC_RARe @Genresbridge
