The Product Catalogue is an evolving compilation of a diverse array of products derived from tangible outputs of projects supported in whole or in part by the CGIAR Generation Challenge Programme. As projects mature, more products are added. Products are listed under the specific project crop or Global. Under each crop, you will find diverse types of products, such as germplasm, markers, genomics resources and informatics applications. Global includes products applicable to several or all crops and generally includes informatics tools and learning materials. We consider all catalogued products as useful. However, our user base is highly varied and includes upstream as well as downstream plant scientists. Not all products will be of direct interest to breeders. Consequently, a BUL (Breeding Use Level) rating has been provided to indicate the direct usefulness of products to breeders:
| Breeding Use Levels | |
| BUL | Description |
| 1 | Ready to use for breeding (I.e. predictive markers, germplasm of acceptable agronomic type containing a well-defined and characterized trait, and etc.). |
| 2 | Qualified use for breeding (i.e germplasm in which trait genetics have not been well defined or markers that may be informative but not necessarily predictive). |
| 3 | Indirectly useful for breeding (i.e. genomic resources from which downstream products for breeding are developed and many informatics applications). |
| 4 | Not developed for breeding, per se (i.e. miscellaneous information as socio-economic reports). |

| Product Number | G4005.16 |
| Product | Conserved orthologous markers in various crops for biotic and abiotic traits in common. |
| Crop/Area | Global |
| Type | Genomic Resources |
| Description | Sets of sequenced COS (conserved orthologous set) markers within and across crop families for biotic and abiotic traits including potato, tomatoe, legumes and Musa... These include: 100 COS ll primers (SGN) synthesized 46 COS ll (SGN) amplified, surveyed for polymorphism and/or mapped in potato 24 COS markers validated by mapping and sequencing in potato (stage 4) Comparative maps of tomato and potato have been enriched with gene-based markers (COS) 46 EST-SSR primers synthesized 24 EST-SSR primers amplified, surveyed for informativeness and/or mapped in wheat 12 EST-SSR primers amplified across 4 monocots, and 3 more produced amplicons in wheat, rice and barley. Abiotic stress genes identified in silico and aligned for COS marker development Primer designed and amplified on a panel of four legumes 33 sequences of Musa COS markers have been submitted to Genbank (AM259287 to AM259319) >70 potato sequences |
| Current Use | Gene discovery for biotic and abiotic traits in potato, tomatoe, legumes and Musa. |
