• Shaping agricultural innovation systems responsive to food insecurity and climate change (2011, methodology): “PPB methods often give a voice those normally excluded from crop research, particularly women and poorer farmers (Ceccarelli and Grando 2007) and may also foster intra crop specific biodiversity, though this is not always the case (Joshi et al. 2001; Bellon 1996).”
• Agriculture and Development: A Brief Review of the Literature (2011, neutral): “According to Ceccarelli and Grando (2007), this approach is different from normal plant breeding in three ways: the testing and selection of seeds take place on the farm, the farmers are involved in the decision making, and it can be implemented at many different locations.”
• Novel approaches in plant breeding for rhizosphere-related traits (2009, background): “However, experimental evidence suggests that this is not necessarily the case and that unfavorable environments are frequently below the cross-over point at which genotypic rankings in response to environment are reversed (Ceccarelli and Grando 2007).”
• Specific adaptation of barley varieties in different locations in Ethiopia (2009, background): “(1998) to propose that breeding for drought tolerance has to be based on direct selection for grain yield in the target environment, since drought-prone conditions, tend to be more diVerent from each other than favorable environments (Ceccarelli and Grando 2007) and produce repeatable cross-over int”
• Efficiency of Plant Breeding (2015, background): “The combination of decentralized selection and farmers’ participation in a PPB program, briefly described in this paper and detailed elsewhere (Ceccarelli and Grando, 2007), increases the efficiency of a plant breeding program by increasing adoption and, hence, increasing the benefit/cost ratio.”
