Abstract

Techniques of biochemical (isozymes) and molecular markers (AFLP) are applied for the conservation of the genetic resources of a model plant with a mixed mating system (Phaseolus lunatus L., Lima bean) and different sampling strategies are tested in order to establish a core collection. Plant materials are collected from in situ conservation areas in the central valley of Costa Rica as well as from a base collection maintained ex situ. Research is conducted in collaboration with Free University of Belgium (U.L.B.).
