Butterfly Diversity from Farmlands of Central Uganda by M. B. Théodore Munyuli

“…Their protection from degradation should be a priority for policy makers since they support a species-rich community of butterflies pollinating cultivated plants. Farmers are encouraged to protect and increase on-farm areas covered by complex traditional agroforests, linear, and nonlinear seminatural habitats to provide sufficient breeding sites and nectar resources for butterflies.…”

SvSv-lines is an effective tool for involvement of the valuable genepool of 1 EBN diploid potato species into breeding by A. P. Yermishin, Yu. V. Polyukhovich, E. V. Voronkova, O. N. Gukasyan

“…It was revealed that SvSv-lines excels S. verrucosum in hybridization efficacy due to abundant and prolonged flowering in later term than S. verrucosum, when flowering of pollinator species occurs. There were significantly less sterile or low fertility genotypes among the hybrids between SvSv-lines and 1 EBN wild species. …”
