The species Coffea canephora, which produces Robusta coffee, has substantial genetic diversity, which could almost certainly be better exploited in breeding programmes were it characterized better. A team from CIRAD recently analysed that diversity using microsatellite markers. This was the first truly comprehensive genetic study of the species. It confirmed the existence of diversity groups, analysed the relations between them and determined the genetic structure of the species, particularly the role played by refuge zones during the last glacial maximum and the effect of human intervention on its construction. The results are crucial for the management and use of genetic resource collections.

Plant genomics: two advanced technical platforms certified under ISO9001
03/07/2013
The CIRAD bioinformatics and genotyping platforms, hosted in Montpellier by the Genetic Improvement and Adaptation of Mediterranean and Tropical Plants Joint Research Unit (UMR AGAP), now have ISO9001:2008 certification from AFNOR. The certification was awarded on 12 April 2013, and concerns the platforms' activities regarding provision of genotyping and bioinformatics equipment and software for agronomy.

How the sweet potato genome tells the story of the first journeys to the Americas
20/02/2013
The Europeans may not have been the first foreigners to set foot in the Americas. Several centuries before them, Polynesian ships apparently landed on the coast of Peru, and eventually sailed home with sweet potatoes, which are now found throughout the Pacific. This has been confirmed by a vast study by a team of scientists from the CNRS and CIRAD, published on 23 January in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
