Domestication of Irvingia gabonensis: 2. The selection of multiple traits for potential cultivars from Cameroon and Nigeria. (2002, methodology): “Twenty-four fruits were collected from each tree as they ripened over the fruiting season (May–August) in 1999 as described by Atangana et al. (2001).”
Agroforestry Tree Products (AFTPs): Targeting Poverty Reduction and Enhanced Livelihoods (2005, background): “…variation in a range of fruit and nut traits to determine the potential for highly productive and qualitatively superior cultivars with a high Harvest Index (e.g. Anegbeh et al., 2003, 2004; Atangana et al., 2001, 2002; Leakey et al., 2002, 2005c; Ngo Mpeck et al., 2003b; Waruhiu et al., 2004).”
Evidence that subsistence farmers have domesticated indigenous fruits (Dacryodes edulis and Irvingia gabonensis) in Cameroon and Nigeria (2004, methodology): “Earlier studies in the project have quantitatively assessed the tree-to-tree variation in I. gabonensis in Cameroon Leakey et al. 2000; Atangana et al. 2001 and Nigeria Anegbeh et al. in press and in prep , and examined opportunities for multi-trait selection, based on the definition of ideotypes…”
