Resumen
La información suministrada en el presente trabajo se obtuvo como resultado de un proyecto de la Red Mesoamericana de Recursos Fitogenéticos (REMERFI), denominado ‘Recursos Genéticos de Sapotáceas en Costa Rica’. Este proyecto fue ejecutado por el Programa de Recursos Fitogenéticos de la Estación Experimental Fabio Baudrit, Escuela de Fitotecnia, Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de Costa Rica con recursos aportados por el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) y canalizados a través del Instituto Internacional de Recursos Fitogenéticos (IPGRI). En esta primera etapa del proyecto, con una duración de dos años, se realizó un inventario nacional con la finalidad de identificar la variabilidad y distribución del zapote (Pouteria viridis).Para realizar el trabajo de inventario primero se recopiló la información presente en herbarios y bases de datos del Museo Nacional, Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBIO) y el Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE). Con esta información se realizó un mapeo del país mostrando las áreas con mayor diversidad genética de la especie. Con la información obtenida por medio del mapeo, se planearon las giras de prospección, a diferentes zonas del país. Un resumen y análisis de la información colectada durante la ejecución de este proyecto, es lo que se presenta en este documento.
The information submitted in the present work, was obtained as the result of a project of the ‘Red Mesoamericana de Recursos Fitogenéticos’ (REMERFI), named "Genetic Resources of Sapotaceae in Costa Rica". This project was conducted by the Program of Plant Genetic Resources of the Fabio Baudrit Experiment Station, Agronomy Faculty, University of Costa Rica. The financial resources were granted by the Interamerican Development Bank, channeled through the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI). In its first stage, with a two-year span, a nation wide inventory was conducted with the objective of identifying the genetic variability and distribution of the zapote (Pouteria viridis), in Costa Rica. Previous to the beginning of the inventory, the information furnished by the herbaria and data bases of the National Museum, National Institute of Biodiversity (INBIO) and the Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), was compiled. With this information on hand, a mapping of the country was done, showing the areas with greater diversity of the species. Prospective trips were planned based on the mapping information. Asummary and analysis of the information gathered during the execution of this project, is presented in this document.
