Toward Participatory Plant Breeding
2019Green Revolution was a huge success that spearheaded agricultural research for several decades and played an important role in feeding the world by significantly increasing food production mainly in the developing countries. However, in spite of immense turnaround in productivity through Green Revolution, conventional plant breeding has done little to ...

Future of Participatory Plant Breeding
2019The Green Revolution was a huge success especially in cereals and had a tremendous impact on food production, socioeconomic conditions, and environmental sustainability. However, this success story seemed incomplete since Green Revolution created islands of prosperity in vast stretches of low productive areas.

Participatory Plant Breeding Across Continents
2019Participatory plant breeding has captured the attention of the policy makers around the world. Since this form of breeding caters more to the needs of the resource-deficient farmers, there is a deep interaction between farmers and breeders for setting objectives, decision-making, sharing responsibility, and generating the desired output.

Advantages and Cost of Participatory Plant Breeding
2019Participatory plant breeding overcomes the limitations of classical plant breeding since it treats the farmers as partners and allows them to decide which varieties are more appropriate for them by having a better say in the selection progress. This breeding methodology is highly desirable in situations where farmers are generally less served by formal

Participatory plant breeding with maize in Mexico and Honduras
Euphytica, 2001Maize is a staple food crop in many developing countries. However, if seven major maize producing countries are excluded from this group, data indicate that only 34% of the maize area is planted with improved seed despite considerable effort invested in maize breeding.

Aspects of participatory plant breeding for quinoa in␣marginal areas of Ecuador
Euphytica, 2006Field trials were carried out in Ecuador with two indigenous communities, Ninin Cachipata and La Esperanza, to determine farmers’ preferences for quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) cultivars and to improve PPB processes. More women than men participated, reflecting that quinoa, a primarily subsistence crop, is mainly managed by women.

Varietal Adaptation, Participatory Breeding and Plant Type
2007The need for adaptation to environments is modified by a need to yield well across a range of seasons and changing microenvironments that can lead to large genotype environment interactions. These interactions may be linked to specific physiological or other traits of the plant which are under genetic control and may be understood.
