Genes are gems for food security
Risk management in the face of climate change is something we can all learn from smallholder farmers. As climate change stalks global agriculture, researchers should collaborate with smallholder farmers in enhancing the diversification of crops to ensure food security, says Emile Frison, Director General of Bioversity International.

Genetic Diversity Analysis with Molecular Marker Data: Learning Module. Volume 2
De Vicente, M.C., López, C. and Fulton, T. (eds.). 2004. International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI), Rome, Italy. ISBN: 92-9043-627-1
This module, developed jointly by Bioversity International and the Institute for Genomic Diversity, Cornell University, aims to promote capacity building and research biodiversity use and conservation worldwide through the application of molecular markers.
The module is especially directed to those countries with limited access to up-to-date scientific literature and research technologies and includes discussions on:
- the fundamental principles of genetic diversity
- the qualities of the markers used to measure it
- the most widely used technologies, including those based on proteins, DNA and the polymerase chain reaction.
The module is intended for scientists with a minimal background in genetics and plant molecular biology, but with a working knowledge of plant genetic resources and issues concerning their conservation and management.
