Standardized trait lists for RTB crops for tricot protocols

Abstract

Standardized operation procedures for tricot are available for several RTB crops, developed under the tricot project - RTB Scaling Fund. They can be adapted to different projects (available in MEL). The contribution of Alliance/Bioversity was to coordinate the process to reach consensus about the traits to be included for each crop and to provide visual materials to communicate about the traits to farmers. They are made available below. These trait lists are based on conversations with members of the Breeding CoP. Further rounds of standardization across crops and validation will refine the lists in an iterative way. For example, there are important differences between crops in terms of the number of traits. Also, a background study on PVS in RTB crops, including the traits included in different studies has recently become available
