Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

22.4K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

610
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Cloning of Dolly the Sheep01:08

Cloning of Dolly the Sheep

9.4K
The first successfully cloned mammal was Dolly, a sheep, born on 5th July 1996 at Roslin Institute, Scotland. The cloned sheep was named after the American singer Dolly Parton. Dolly lived for seven years and died of respiratory complications, which is speculated to be due to the actual age of her DNA. Because the DNA in cloned cells belongs to an older individual,  the cloned individual’s life expectancy may be affected. Indeed, analysis of Dolly’s DNA revealed shorter...

Reproductive Cloning01:27

Reproductive Cloning

33.4K
Reproductive cloning is the process of producing a genetically identical copy—a clone—of an entire organism. While clones can be produced by splitting an early embryo—similar to what happens naturally with identical twins—cloning of adult animals is usually done by a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed, creating an enucleated egg. Then a somatic...

Conservation of Small Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

17.7K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Community-based breeding programs (CBBP) support smallholders improving local breeds, but require external support. Formal socio-economic evaluations are crucial for developing sustainable, large-scale CBBPs.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Animal Breeding
  • Development Studies

Background:

  • Community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) are prevalent in low-input farming systems, particularly for small ruminants and local breeds.
  • Farmers engage in CBBPs to collectively improve and share genetic resources.
  • Conventional breeding technologies face adoption challenges in low-input systems due to organizational and technical constraints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the operational dynamics and success factors of community-based breeding programs.
  • To identify challenges and requirements for the sustainability of CBBPs.
  • To inform policy and development agencies on supporting scalable CBBPs.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of eight community-based breeding programs across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
  • Evaluation of organizational, technical, and financial support structures.
  • Assessment of the role of bottom-up approaches and local institutions.

Main Results:

  • CBBPs heavily rely on external organizational, technical, and financial support.
  • Bottom-up approaches and local institutional involvement are critical for CBBPs.
  • Achieving completely self-sustained CBBPs is challenging.

Conclusions:

  • Sustainable, large-scale CBBPs require formal socio-economic evaluations.
  • Governments and development agencies need to provide structured support for CBBPs.
  • Future efforts should focus on creating frameworks for long-term CBBP viability.
