• Participatory plant breeding research: Opportunities and challenges for the international crop improvement system (2004, background): “Proponents believe that PPB methods show great promise for making varietal development efforts more responsive to the needs of technology users, particularly members of poor rural households that are not well integrated into the market economy (Almekinders & Elings, 2001; Sperling et al., 2001).”
• Developments in breeding cereals for organic agriculture (2008, unknown): “collaborative (task sharing), and collegial (sharing responsibility, decision making, and accountability) (Sperling et al. 2001; Desclaux and Hedont 2006).”
• Shaping agricultural innovation systems responsive to food insecurity and climate change (2011, background): “The question then, is how to transform breeding programmes towards a more decentralised approaches which would make it possible to these parallel systems to interact in a productive way (cf. Sperling et al. 2001; McGuire 2008) ?”
• GENETIC VARIATION FOR DROUGHT RESISTANCE IN SMALL RED SEEDED COMMON BEAN GENOTYPES (2011, background): “Common bean production is constrained by several environmental stresses, notably biotic (field and post-harvest pests and diseases) and abiotic (drought, excessive rain/flooding, poor soil fertility, heat and cold stress), each of which causes significant reductions in yield (Wortmann et al. (1998).”
• Realigning research and extension to focus on farmers’ constraints and opportunities (2003, background): “Examples of successful participatory approaches include surveys and focus groups to document farmer knowledge, use of expert farmer panels, and incorporation of farmer views into criteria used to rate performance (Sperling et al., 2001).”
• The need to breed crop varieties suitable for organic farming, using wheat, tomato and broccoli as examples: A review (2011, background): “and lead the subsequent seed multiplication and diffusion process [159].”
• Can cultivars from participatory plant breeding improve seed provision to small-scale farmers? (2007, unknown): “This could be considered an example of breeder-led collaboration (Sperling et al. 2001).”
• Achievements and limitations of contemporary common bean breeding using conventional and molecular approaches (2009, methodology): “Bean breeders interested in using a more PPB approach should be prepared to adapt methods to the biophysical condi- tions and the socioeconomic and cultural context in which they plan to work (Sperling et al. 2001).”
• Decentralized selection and participatory approaches in plant breeding for low-input systems (2008, background): “tiplication and distribution process (Sperling et al. 2001).”
• Why agronomy in the developing world has become contentious (2013, background): “(Okali et al., 1994; Thompson and Scoones, 1994), although there have been sustained efforts to develop more inclusive approaches to crop improvement through ‘participatory plant breeding’ (Almekinders and Elings, 2001; Sperling et al., 2001).”
• Making seed systems more resilient to stress (2013, background): “Two issues are important to emphasize: adaptation is not just about agronomic suitability but also has to include insights on farmer preferences and market acceptability (Sperling et al., 2001); and physical germplasm (i.”
