Item FAO/IPGRI Multi-Crop Passport Descriptors [MCPD](Book, 2001) Alercia, A.; Diulgheroff, S.; Metz, T.; Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations; International Plant Genetic Resources InstituteThe List of Multi-Crop Passport Descriptors (MCPD) is a reference tool developed jointly by IPGRI and FAO to provide international standards to facilitate germplasm passport information exchange across crops. These descriptors aim to be compatible with IPGRI crop descriptor lists and with the descriptors used for the FAO World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS) on plant genetic resources (PGR). This revised version (December 2001) of the 1997 MCPD List, provides a brief explanation of content, coding scheme and suggested fieldnames for each descriptor to assist in the computerized exchange of this type of data.Item Descriptores de quinua(Book, 1981) International Board for Plant Genetic ResourcesItem Descriptores para chirimoyo (Annona cherimola Mill.): Descriptores para chirimoyo (Annona cherimola Mill.)(Book, 2008) Bioversity International; CHERLAItem Descripteurs de passeport multi-cultures FAO/IPGRI(Book, 2001) Alercia, A.; Diulgheroff, S.; Metz, T.La liste des descripteurs de passeport ‘multi-cultures’ est élaborée conjointement par l’IPGRI et la FAO afin de fournir des normes internationales permettant de faciliter l'échange de données passeport du matériel génétique. Ces descripteurs ont pour objectif d’être compatibles à la fois avec les listes de descripteurs des plantes cultivées de l’IPGRI et avec les descripteurs utilisés par le Système d’information mondial et alerte rapide sur les ressources phytogénétiques (WIEWS) de la FAO. Chaque descripteur de passeport multi-cultures est accompagné d'une brève explication du contenu, du système de codage et du nom de champ suggéré (entre parenthèses) afin de faciliter l'échange informatisé de ce type de données.Item Almond descriptors (revised)(Book, 1981) International Board for Plant Genetic ResourcesItem Descritores para o milho(Book, 2000) International Plant Genetic Resources InstituteItem Descritores para Feijão frade ou caupi (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.)(Book, 2007) Bioversity InternationalTraduzido do original em Inglês: IBPGR. 1983. Descriptors for cowpea. International Board for Plant Genetic Resources, Rome, Italy. 30 pp. O feijão frade (feijão caupi) (Vigna unguiculata) é uma leguminosa da família das Fabáceas conhecido também como ”guandul” ou ”feijão de cabecinha preta”. É rico em proteínas, tolerante à seca e, dada a sua capacidade de fixação de azoto, pode ser cultivado em solos pobres, melhorando-os. O feijão frade é utilizado na alimentação humana e animal e demonstrou ser particularmente lucrativo para os pequenos agricultores de países africanos em desenvolvimento, como Angola. O Centro de Recursos Fitogenéticos (CNRF) de Angola, com sede em Luanda, conserva cerca de 3.000 acessos de culturas importantes para a segurança alimentar, incluindo o feijão frade. Deste conjunto, um pequeno número de acessos de feijão frade conservados neste Centro foi já caracterizado e os agricultores e os melhoradores necessitam dessa informação para identificarem materiais mais productivos e resistentes a pragas e doenças. Como parte duma actividade de colaboração entre o Bioversity International e o Programa de Mestrado em Recursos Fitogenéticos da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) em Florianópolis, Brasil, o investigador Angolano José Pedro, do CNRF e o Prof. António Alves, da UFSC, traduziram para Português a lista de descritores para Vigna unguiculata publicada pelo IBPGR, actualmente Bioversity International, de forma a facilitar o trabalho de caracterização das variedades de feijão frade mantidas pelo banco de germoplasma do CNRF. Esta caracterização é parte do trabalho para a tese que o José Pedro está a realizar para a obtenção do grau de Mestre em Recursos Fitogenéticos da UFSC. O Bioversity International e a UFSC tem vindo a trabalhar em conjunto desde 2003, quando estabeleceram uma associação de colaboração para fortalecer a investigação, a educação e o desenvolvimento profissional no campo dos recursos fitogenéticos. Uma componente desta associação tem sido o desenvolvimento de estratégias para apoiar os programas de recursos fitogenéticos dos países Africanos de lingua oficial Portuguesa (Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, Moçambique e, S. Tomé e Príncipe), conhecidos como os países lusófonos de África, e fortalecer os vínculos entre os sectores académicos e da investigação agrícola. O programa de bolsas de mestrado vinculando a África e o Brasil na formação de profissionais em RF, é parte desta iniciativa, da qual o José Pedro é o primeiro beneficiário. Considerando a importância do feijão frade para a segurança alimentar em Angola e nos outros países lusófonos de África, o Bioversity International congratula-se em apresentar esta lista de descritores para Vigna unguiculata, em Português. Acrescenta-se que esta lista corresponde exactamente áquela publicada pelo IBPGR em 1983, sem modificações.Item FAO/Bioversity Multi-Crop Passport Descriptors V.2 [MCPD V.2] - June 2012(Book, 2012) Alercia, A.; Diulgheroff, S.; Mackay, M.The FAO/Bioversity Multi-Crop Passport Descriptors (MCPD V.2) is the result of a thorough revision of the publication originally released by FAO/IPGRI in 2001, which has been widely used as the international standard to facilitate germplasm passport information exchange. In this improved version, the 2001 list of descriptors has been expanded to accommodate emerging documentation needs, derived inter alia from the entry into force of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and its Multilateral System for access and benefit-sharing, and from technological changes such as the broader use of GPS tools. The descriptors are compatible with Bioversity’s crop descriptor lists, with the descriptors used by the FAO World Information and Early Warning System (WIEWS) on plant genetic resources (PGR), and the GENESYS global portal.Item Lima bean descriptors(Book, 1982) International Board for Plant Genetic ResourcesItem Descriptors for Mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes)(Book, 2018) Silva Júnior, J.F. da; Muniz, A.V.C. da S.; Lédo, A. da; Maia, M.C.C.; Carvalhaes, M.A.; Silva, S.M da C.; Dulloo, Mohammad Ehsan; Alercia, A.The ‘Descriptors for Mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes)’ were developed by the Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros and a group of researchers from three research centres of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa). Mangaba is a native fruit species of Brazil, but also occurs in Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru. The genus is monotypic, and there are six botanical varieties. H. speciosa var. speciosa is the most widely distributed occurring in the Cerrado, coastal tablelands and lowlands of Brazil. This neglected species, is considered one of the "Plants of the Future", a group of plants with a high priority for conservation, research and development in Brazil. Research on the genetic resources of underutilized native tropical species has been one of the main objectives of Bioversity International and Embrapa, and this list for mangaba contributes greatly to its characterization and, consequently, conservation and use activities. This document is a first approach for the definition of a descriptors list, aiming at supporting studies focusing on documenting characterization and evaluation traits and conserving its genetic resources, and, mainly, increasing production and use of nutritious mangaba products.Item Descripteurs de passeport multi-cultures FAO/Bioversity (V.2.1)(Working Paper, 2015-12) Alercia, A.; Diulgheroff, S.; Mackay, M.Cette liste des descripteurs de passeport “multi-cultures” (MCPD en anglais) V.2.1, est une mise à jour de la publication MCPD V.2 publiée en 2012. La liste MCPD V.2 était une révision de la première version FAOIPGRI publié en 2001 enrichie pour répondre aux besoins émergents, tels que l'utilisation plus large d'outils GPS, ou la mise en oeuvre du Système multilatéral d'accès et de partage des avantages du Traité international sur les ressources phytogénétiques pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture.Item Descriptores de pasaporte para cultivos múltiples FAO/BIOVERSITY V.2.1 [MCPD V.2.1] - Diciembre 2015(Brief, 2015-12) Alercia, A.; Diulgheroff, S.; Mackay, M.La lista de Descriptores de pasaporte para cultivos múltiples V.2.1 (MCPD en inglés), es una actualización de la publicación del 2012. El MCPD V.2 fue una revisión del documento original de la FAO/IPGRI que se publicó en el 2001, y que se amplió para acomodar necesidades emergentes tales como una mayor utilización de instrumentos GPS o la puesta en práctica del Sistema Multilateral de acceso y distribución de beneficios del Tratado Internacional sobre los Recursos Fitogenéticos para la Alimentación y la Agricultura. El MCPD, elaborado conjuntamente por Bioversity International (anteriormente (“IPGRI”) y la FAO, es un estándar internacional utilizado a nivel mundial para facilitar el intercambio de información de pasaporte de germoplasma. Estos descriptores son compatibles con los descriptores de cultivos desarrollados por Bioversity; con los descriptores utilizados por el Sistema de Información y Alerta Mundial “SIAM” (WIEWS, en inglés) de la FAO para los Recursos Fitogenéticos, y con el portal mundial GENESYS.Item Lista de descriptores de pasaporte para cultivos multiples desarrollada por la FAO y el IPGRI Related files(Brief, 2001) Alercia, A.; Diulgheroff, S.; Metz, T.La FAO y el IPGRI han elaborado conjuntamente la lista de descriptores de pasaporte para cultivos múltiples (DPCM) que es un instrumento de referencia para suministrar, a nivel internacional, normas fijas que faciliten el intercambio de información de pasaporte del germoplasma. Estos descriptores pretenden ser compatibles con las listas de descriptores de especies cultivadas desarrolladas por el IPGRI y con los descriptores utilizados por el Sistema de Información y Alerta Mundial -SIAM- (WIEWS, en inglés) de la FAO para los recursos filogenéticos (RFG). Esta versión revisada (Diciembre 2001) de la Lista DPCM de 1997, proporciona una breve explicación de cada descriptor, un esquema de codificación y se proponen (entre paréntesis), nombres de campo con el fin de contribuir al intercambio informatizado de esta clase de datos.Item Descriptores del conocimiento que los agricultores tienen de las plantas(Book, 2010) Bioversity InternationalEsta lista de descriptores ha sido desarrollada por Bioversity International con el fin de ofrecer un formato estándar que permita recopilar, almacenar, recuperar e intercambiar información sobre el conocimiento tradicional que los agricultores tienen de las plantas. La lista pretende captar las características clave, los usos y los valores de las plantas cultivadas y silvestres, en la forma en que los describen los agricultores y demás miembros de las comunidades agrícolas. Muchos de estos descriptores no están incluidos en las listas convencionales de descriptores. En esta lista también se incluyen las plantas silvestres y arvenses, que a menudo desempeñan un papel importante en las comunidades agrícolas, por su utilidad socioeconómica y ecológica. Esta lista es el primer intento de combinar un sistema de documentación utilizado tradicionalmente en ambientes controlados (bancos de germoplasma, institutos defitomejoramiento) con un enfoque que involucra a las personas y lo que ellas conocen sobre el campo. La lista es producto de muchos años de revisión del trabajo de campo realizado por científicos y profesionales, pero esperamos que se convierta en una herramienta que integre la biología y el conocimiento tradicional. Si bien está orientada a la comunidad de recursos fitogenéticos, para ampliar la gama de conocimientos que se documentan durante la colecta de plantas, cualquier comunidad u organización la puede usar, dado su formato práctico, incluyente y conciso, y de fácil aplicación.Item Descriptors for farmers' knowledge of plants(Book, 2009) Bioversity InternationalThis list of descriptors has been developed by Bioversity International to provide a standard format for the gathering, storage, retrieval and exchange of farmers’ knowledge of plants. The list aims to capture key characteristics, uses and values of cultivated and wild plants as described by farmers and other people in farming communities. Many of these descriptors are not included in conventional descriptor lists. Wild and weedy plants are also covered by this list since they often play a significant role in farming communities, being useful from a socio-economic and ecological standpoint. The list is a first attempt to combine a documentation system traditionally used in controlled environments (genebanks, breeding institutes) with an approach that involves people and their knowledge ‘in the field’. We hope that this list, which is the result of many years of review of fieldwork by scientists and field practitioners, will become an important tool for integrating biology and traditional knowledge. Although the list is primarily targeted at the plant genetic resources community, to increase the range of knowledge recorded during plant collection, its widespread use by others, including communities and organizations, is encouraged. It is intended to be user-friendly and practical, whilst balancing inclusiveness and concision.Item Key characterization and evaluation descriptors: methodologies for the assessment of 22 crops(Book, 2011) Alercia, A.Bioversity International, with the financial support of the Global Crop Diversity Trust (the Trust) has led the development of strategic key sets of characterization and evaluation descriptors for 22 crops included in Annex I of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA). The strategic sets of data standards are designed to facilitate access to and utilization of plant genetic resources information. Together with passport information, descriptors are critical to the effective sharing of evaluation data and to the efficient use of plant genetic resources. Passport, characterization and evaluation descriptors are included on the GENESYS portal, to facilitate access to information and promote the utilization of germplasm accessions. Along with the definitions of key sets of data standards, which are also available on Bioversity’s web site, the project also documented the standard development process, the outcome being these detailed methodologies for each crop. These guidelines provide the background information and objectives and give insights into the structure and elements of the methodologies developed by Bioversity to devise the crop-specific standards. They include specific methodologies for each crop and serve as a reference guide to develop further standards. Each methodology describes the development process for each key set of descriptors.Item Descriptors for genetic markers technologies(Book, 2004) Vicente, M. Carmen de; Metz, T.; Alercia, A.This document is targeted to researchers using genetic marker technologies to generate and exchange genetic marker data that are standardized and replicable. This initial proposed set of descriptors was reviewed widely by international experts from national research institutions, universities and CGIAR centres, and their comments and contributions were included through several iterations of the document. This first official version of the list is now being published by IPGRI to encourage application of the descriptors to current research projects and to stimulate further refinement of the standards.Item Core descriptors for in situ conservation of crop wild relatives v.1.(Book, 2013) Thormann, I.; Alercia, A.; Dulloo, Mohammad EhsanCrop wild relatives (CWR) are wild plant species that are more or less closely related to domesticated species, include crop progenitors and are a potential source of traits beneficial to our crops. Given their importance for agricultural research and development, their conservation is of high priority, in particular their in situ conservation that allows continued evolution of new adaptive traits as well as the maintenance of the breadth of genetic diversity present in the many CWR species. The core descriptors for in situ conservation of CWR are designed to facilitate the compilation and exchange of data, which are needed to develop and implement in situ conservation activities. They are compatible with Bioversity’s crop descriptor lists, the ‘FAO/Bioversity List of Multi-Crop Passport Descriptors V.2’ and IUCN red listing categories and criteria.Item Descripteurs du palmier dattier (Phoenix dactylifera L.)(Book, 2005) Institut international des ressources phytogénétiques; Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique d’Algérie; Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique du Maroc; Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique de Tunisie; Global Environment Facility; United Nations Development ProgrammeItem The scientific information activity of Bioversity International: the descriptor lists(Brief, 2011) Gotor, Elisabetta; Alercia, A.; Ramanatha Rao, V.; Watts, J.; Caracciolo, FrancescoEffective sharing of information about genetic resources depends on everyone using the same “dictionary” – which is where the descriptor lists published by Bioversity International and its partners come in. In a 2006 survey 90% or more of respondents stated that descriptor lists published by Bioversity and its partners had contributed to the development of genebank databases, increased uniformity of documentation, increased their ability to work with partners, increased efficiency in collection management, and facilitated data exchange. The utility of Bioversity’s descriptors was rated higher than those from other sources, including UPOV and USDA-GRIN, scoring an average of 3.3 on a 4-point scale. The most common constraint to using Bioversity descriptor lists was the lack of descriptors for a particular species of interest – highlighting the need for Bioversity’s continued involvement in developing additional descriptor lists.
