Tailoring climate forecasts to the range of contexts
16/03/2016
Why do farmers in tropical countries make very little use of the climate forecasts supplied to them, particularly seasonal rainfall forecasts? A research group of which CIRAD is a member decided to tackle this question by means of a survey.

Rubber: a core collection that covers all the genetic diversity of the species
19/02/2016
Researchers from CIRAD and their Brazilian colleagues recently characterized more than 1000 Hevea accessions held in Brazil and French Guiana, using molecular markers. This enabled them to compile a core collection of around a hundred trees, which encompasses the entirety of the genetic diversity described with the markers used and will facilitate the conservation of rubber genetic resources. That conservation is vital at a time when deforestation is resulting in unprecedented impoverishment of those resources in Amazonia.

Oil palm: a step towards marker-assisted breeding
18/02/2016
Marker-assisted breeding has not been extensively studied for oil palm due to the cumbersome nature of the genetic techniques required to implement it.

Cultural diversity among farmers has shaped sorghum biological diversity
10/02/2016
Researchers from CIRAD and their partners from KALRO have discovered that the social relations between farmers play a central role in the dynamics of the diversity of sorghum grown on the slopes of Mount Kenya. By influencing seed exchanges, social structure shapes local agro-biodiversity. This work has major implications in terms of agricultural genetic resource conservation.

Hevea: ethylene and jasmonate play a major role in rubber production
18/11/2015
The natural rubber produced by Hevea is collected by tapping the bark. This causes stress within the tree, which can lead the latex flow to dry up. What are the physiological mechanisms behind this response to stress and how are they triggered? Researchers from CIRAD and their partners recently looked at two plant hormones, ethylene and jasmonate, which play a vital role in regulating latex production.
