    Armando Simon
    Evolution is a fact. The evidence for it is simply overwhelming.

  • CERCOSPORIOSES IN ARACHIDE(A. hypogaea) AND GENETIC IMPROVEMENT
    Jean-François Victor AKOA FOUMAN
    Charles Darwin’s natural evolution of species, through the haphazard specialization of genes resistant to neopathogens or neopathologies, should no longer be a model for biodiversity conservation. Biodiversity conservation could therefore be based on the genetic improvement of susceptible seed genes. This technique would play a major role in reinforcing biological diversity, by...
