| Objectives | 2. Characterize and evaluate germplasm by using morphological characteristics and molecular marker technology to enhance conservation management, increase utilization of the germplasm collections, and to incorporate the resulting genetic data into publicly accessible databases. 6. Within the Western Region, throughout the U.S., and internationally, encourage the use of a broad diversity of germplasm to reduce crop genetic vulnerability. Through different avenues of technology transfer in the form of plant germplasm propagules (seed/clones), research publications and other associated information to scientists world wide, provide resources to scientists world wide for future crop development. |
| Approach | We will characterize accessions in the Phaseolus collection for reaction to Fusarium wilt and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in research devoted to the development of improved germplasm and varieties for resistance to these pathogens. As a participant to W6, we provide an annual report that documents germplasm utilization and distribution in Colorado. We also provide suggestions to the Western Region and NPGC regarding germplasm activities. |
