Abstract
Many developing countries have found great difficulty in sustaining the conservation and genetic improvement of root crops. Conservation is fraught with difficulty: ex situ collections are expensive to maintain and methods for on-farm conservation have not been studied. This project is testing the hypothesis that the geographical distribution of allelic diversity can represent an efficient and practical alternative to present conservation and use activities.
