CHARACTERIZATION
PHENOTYPIC
It is a process that allows the evaluation and description of germplasm to identify its morphological and agronomic characteristics.
To carry out germplasm characterization, descriptor lists are used for several crops that have been internationally tested 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.
ECOGEOGRAPHIC CHARACTERIZATION
This analysis studies the climatic, soil, and geophysical characteristics of a specific area. One of the main tools used for this type of characterization is CAPFITOGEN.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Molecular CHARACTERIZATION
This refers to the use of molecular markers to determine the genetic characteristics of collections.
