Sélection de sites pour la conservation <i>in situ</i> des ignames sauvages apparentées aux ignames cultivées : cas de <i>Dioscorea praehensilis</i> au Bénin

Abstract: Dioscorea praehensilis est une igname sauvage apparentée aux ignames cultivées du complexe D. cayenensis-D. rotundata qui évolue en populations naturelles dans les forêts du Sud et du Centre-Bénin. Pour identifier les sites propices à la préservation in situ de ses populations naturelles et de sa diversité génétique, six forêts du sud et du centre Bénin (Agoua, Ahozon, Ewè, Kétou, Lama et Niaouli) ont été prospectées. Les forêts de la Lama, d'Ewè et de Niaouli sont les plus riches en D. praehensilis avec, resp… Show more

“…This mode of propagation favors the dissemination of pathogens in the field and prevents adaptation and the formation of new varieties. Indeed, the pest attacks and type of propagation are the main factors that contribute to genetic erosion of Dioscorea [ 19 , 20 ]. This loss of diversity, which is manifested by the disappearance of local populations or varieties, lead to the loss of services that yams offer to humanity, especially in Africa.…”

“…Biodiversity in general, and of tropical forests in particular, is to be preserved for ethical reasons, for agriculture under the headings of plant protection-biological control (Neuenschwander et al 2003, van Driesche et al 2010) and varietal selection (Dansi et al 2013), and for the preservation of water regimes and mitigation of climate change (Corlett 2014) or other eco-services (Martin 1991, Kuyah et al 2016, Rowland et al 2016. In an ideal world, nature protection and agriculture are considered complementary and nature reserves a prudent investment (McNeely and Scherr 2001).…”
