El presente documento describe la Directiva que regula el procedimiento para la transferencia del germoplasma entre las Estaciones Experimentales Agrarias de la SUDIRGEB del INIA.

Los lineamientos contenidos en el documento tienen por objetivo estandarizar los procedimientos desarrollados en la gestión del Banco de Germoplasma de la SUDIRGEB, de modo que sean adoptadas por el personal de esta Sub Dirección, en especial de los Curadores de las Estaciones Experimentales Agrarias, en la medida en que éstos tienen la responsabilidad de conservar el mayor número de accesiones de las Colecciones Nacionales, en condiciones aceptables y seguras, para su utilización sostenible.

The aims of the proposed research were to identify and document species, production and uses, describe processing procedures for drying, evaluate drying conditions and practices and apply Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles to identify the critical control points involved in drying processes. The study focused on cultivated species of capsicum in the areas around Chuquisaca, Bolivia and Lima, Peru under the guidance of local partners. Farmer interviews were conducted to obtain information about current postharvest handling practices. In addition, drying procedures were evaluated at several sites. Parameters were documented, including drying conditions and behaviour of the product by placing climate sensors in the drying bulks and sampling and analysing the product at significant processing points. Based on this data, HACCP principles were applied, namely: produc...

For most crops, like Capsicum, their diversity remains under-researched for traits of interest for food, nutrition and other purposes. A small investment in screening this diversity for a wide range of traits is likely to reveal many traditional varieties with distinguished values. One objective of this study was to demonstrate, with Capsicum as model crop, the application of indicators of phenotypic and geographic diversity as effective criteria for selecting promising genebank accessions for multiple uses from crop centers of diversity. A second objective was to evaluate the expression of biochemical and agromorphological properties of the selected Capsicum accessions in different conditions. Four steps were involved: 1) Develop the necessary diversity by expanding genebank collections in Bolivia and Peru; 2) Establish representative subsets of ~100 accessions for biochemical screening...
