Progress 08/21/07 to 08/20/12
Outputs
Progress Report Objectives (from AD-416): To complete atlases of the major crop wild relatives in Guatemala and Paraguay and implement capacity building projects in association with these explorations. Approach (from AD-416): Bioversity International will complete text and maps for the atlases of the important crop wild relatives of Guatemala and Paraguay, according to a plan agreed upon by ARS and Bioversity International. They will then develop a web interface to present the atlases. They will also assist with capacity building projects in countries hosting ARS plant explorations. A Google Earth application for the Atlas of the Crop Wild Relatives of Guatemala was completed and released. The Atlas was formally presented to conservation agencies in Guatemala. Samples of 200 accessions of Capsicum (pepper) germplasm regenerated in Guatemala by the Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnolog�a Agr�colas (ICTA) were donated to the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System.

Google Earth applications for the Atlas of the Crop Wild Relatives of Guatemala and the Atlas of the Crop Wild Relatives of Paraguay were revised. The regeneration of 200 accessions of Capsicum (pepper) germplasm in Guatemala was supported. Samples of the germplasm will be shared between the Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnolog�a Agr�colas (ICTA) in Colombia and the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System. This activity directly relates to the project objectives of collecting and protecting genetic resources needed for the future. Monitoring of the project was accomplished through e-mails and analysis of products.

Significant Activities that Support Special Target Populations Web versions of the atlases of the crop wild relatives of Paraguay and Guatemala were created in Google Earth. The interface includes interactive maps, photos, descriptions of crop genepools, and analyses of the conservation status of crop wild relatives. Monitoring of the project was accomplished through emails and evaluation of products.
