CHARACTERIZATION
PHENOTYPIC
It is a process that makes possible to evaluate or describe the germplasm, in order to know morphological and agronomic aspects.
PLists of descriptors are used to characterize germplasm for several crops, these descriptors are already tested internationally and published by:
ACHIEVEMENTS
Characterized genera: Annona (cherimoya), Arachis (peanut), Chenopodium (quinoa), Cyclanthera (achogcha), Ipomoea (sweet potato), Lupinus (chocho), Mirabilis (miso), Oxalis (oca), Physalis (uvilla), Prunus (capulí), Smallanthus (jicama), Solanum (potato), Theobroma (cocoa), Tropaeolum (mashua), Ullucus (melloco) and Zea (maize), among others.
