Industry Strategic Science and Technology Plans (ISPs) Platform
The study aims to determine which combinations of traditional bioproduction systems and modern bioproduction systems are most likely to lead to a sustainable and resilient future in the Philippines. The project is envisioned to improve watershed governance by instituting science-based decision-making among LGU and DENR and other institutional partners.
Government and private sector initiatives for the growth of the mango industry, such as developing policies, strengthening R&D efforts, and introducing S&Ts, have been implemented. However, a comprehensive and sustainable plan of action can enhance these initiatives. The project titled “Changing Patterns in social, demographic and economic condition of farmers in plantation crops production systems: …

The use of authentic and true-to-type planting materials is one of the most important considerations in ensuring that only those preferred and popular or much-sought cultivars are commercially grown and sold. SSR markers to generate unique DNA sequences for varietal classification are already well documented and widely used in several crops. In support, a study …
A previous study developed a protein-based detection kit for identifying true-to-type Philippine “Carabao” mango using antiserum generated from protein markers. This kit was able to discriminate the carabao varieties from the non-carabao types. However, before this technology is brought to the users, this dipstick should be validated. This proposed project will pilot test and validate …
The “FIESTA” or Farmers and Industry Encounters through Science and Technology Agenda aims to provide an avenue for the promotion and dissemination, adoption, or commercialization of technologies developed by the member institutions. Farmers, PMAs, partner NGOs, private sector partners, entrepreneurs, students, technologists, researchers, media practitioners, and other stakeholders are gathered in events held in Roxas …

There is a great need to improve ‘Carabao’ mango since its susceptibility to diseases results in low yield and poor quality of mango fruits. Molecular marker-assisted breeding has been instrumental in the development of new varieties in many crops. In this regard, a project on improvement of ‘Carabao’ Mango Production and Fruit Quality through Quantitative …

Aquaculture contributes significantly to the country’s food supply, employment and national income. However, the continuous use of surface waters as sink for domestic and industrial wastes introduces hazardous toxic elements in the aquatic environment. These toxic elements make their way in biological systems such as the country’s primary aquacultural produce. With consumers and regulatory bodies …
The program will utilize genome-based approaches to generate and develop genomics-enabled resources, tools, and technologies designed to improve milkfish aquaculture production. The program will focus on two key aspects: 1) Genetic improvement of broodstock through assessment and management of broodstock diversity, and generation of genomic resources for improvement of performance and production traits; 2) Improving …

The Philippine milkfish industry had expanded from traditional extensive culture in brackishwater ponds to semi-intensive and intensive culture systems including off-shore pens and net cages. These had resulted to the establishment of more private and government-owned milkfish hatcheries operating in the country. Despite the documented success of milkfish hatchery, there is still an existing shortage …
