Farmers in #Kenya’s central highlands had their say in the @CropTrust @Cipotato #BOLDcwr #potato trials. They voted for their preferred traits and selected preferred tubers. Breeders will use the data to guide them in promoting potatoes for new trials for late blight resistance.

Scientists use pre-breeding to expand genetic diversity, obtaining traits from crop wild relatives.

The #BOLDcwr project works on seven crops, creating new resilient varieties for farmer's fields. 🥔🌱

¡Nos complace compartir que tuvimos una exitosa jornada de campo en Huaytorco, Cajamarca junto a @INIAPeru!

Presentamos con entusiasmo las nuevas variedades de papa 🥔 CIP-Poderosa Pollera y CIP-Poderosa Watia, resultado de la colaboración entre Minera Poderosa y CIP.

In Peru, we have begun to celebrate National and International Potato Day. Do not miss this fascinating documentary about the biodiversity of potatoes and how lucky we are to be the center of origin for this important crop on our tables.

🤩 ¡NO TE LO PUEDES PERDER! 🥔 HOY a las 6:30 PM se estrena el especial "NUESTRA PAPA". 📺 Latina ha elaborado un programa dedicado a la papa peruana 🇵🇪, explorando el país con el objetivo de indagar en sus orígenes y su impresionante diversidad. 🙌

Una de las actividades en Ecuador del proyecto #BOLDcwr es la selección participativa de los mejores clones de Papa 🥔, esta calidad debe verse reflejada en su floración y cosecha.

Gracias a todos los participantes por sus aportes.

¡Vamos por más! @INIAPECUADOR y @Cipotato

We just launched the RTB-EAGEL lab with @IITA_CGIAR & @KephisKe!

This new facility will accelerate breeding processes for #RTB crops 🥔🍠. Thanks to @giz_gmbh & @CGIAR for their support!

¿En Perú se sembraron papas transgénicas? Sí, y también camotes GM en la década de los 90's, pero solo con fines experimentales. Aquí te cuento más detalles sobre los trabajos biotecnológicos en papa que se hicieron en nuestro país https://t.co/siwPNSrB4n

All #BOLDcwr pre-breeding teams came together at #GPZ2024 in Germany!

Excited to start the annual meeting today!

Plant breeders and scientists use crop diversity to develop new varieties that are nutritious and tasty and adapted to local growing conditions.

Securing the world’s crop diversity is a prerequisite for future food and nutrition security.

This wild potato 🥔 species was discovered in Peru.

With shifting weather patterns increasing the threats of pests and diseases, wild potato relatives enable scientists to cultivate new, resilient varieties.

The CropTrust and @ICARDA #BOLDcwr #grasspea team recently toured the Global Grasspea Diversity Panel cultivated by @INbpgr in New Delhi.

The CWR garden contains 217 'Lathyrus' accessions, and some of their beautiful diversity was captured by our @MichaelMajorMed.

[Daniela Bustos-Korts @DBustosKorts]

Fantastic meeting to discuss ideas to create better adapted varieties. Thank you very much to the organizers @GPZconference24 @KaiV_F #gpz2024

The #BOLDcwr project pre-breeding researchers proudly presented their work at the German Plant Breeding Conference in @hsgeisenheim!

If you are attending #GPZ2024, check out our scientific posters and stop for a chat!

[The Crop Trust @CropTrust]

The #BOLDcwr project broadens the genetic base of seven key food and forage crops.

At #GPZ2024 in Geisenheim, researchers presented their achievements of BOLD's pre-breeding efforts with alfalfa, potato, finger millet and barley.
