Screening a newly developed common bean germplasm with improved resistance to ashy stem blight in multiple environments by Diego M. Viteri, Angela M. Linares-Ramírez

“…However, the new black UPR-Mp-42 and white UPR-Mp-48 BL had an intermediate response (mean scores 4–6) compared to white common bean genotypes ‘Bella,’ NY6020-4, and ‘Verano’ and black bean TARS-MST1 that were susceptible (scores ≥7) in all environments. Andean genotypes A 195, PRA154, PRA155, and UPR-Mp-22 were intermediate in the greenhouse. …”

Molecular and morphological characterization of S2 lines of black corn (<em>Zea mays</em> L.) from Ecuadorian Andes by María de Lourdes Torres P., Ana Lucía Bravo, Mario Caviedes, Venancio S. Arahana B.

“…<p>Black corn is a native variety of this crop, present in the Andean Highlands of Ecuador. Despite its importance as a functional food, due to its anthocyanin content with antioxidant and anti-carcinogenetic properties, its usage has tended to be reduced because of a widespread preference in farmers and consumers for the improved yellow corn varieties. …”

Geological evolution of the Karakoram Ranges by Searle, M

“…During the Late Jurassic to Mid-Cretaceous northdipping subduction of Tethyan oceanic lithosphere beneath the Karakoram resulted in widespread Andean I-type granite-granodiorite magmatism (Hunza, Hushe plutonic units) with possible concomitant low-pressure andalusite-sillimanite grade Buchan-type metamorphism. …”

Landslide and tsunami hazard at Yate volcano, Chile as an example of edifice destruction on strike-slip fault zones by Watt, S, Pyle, D, Naranjo, J, Mather, T
