This chapter discusses the history of IRRI gene bank, its costing for different functions, and economic analysis of maintenance and operation.
These proceedings covers topics on managing plant genetic diversity i.e. applications of genomic sciences for better understanding of gene pools; technologies and strategies for ex situ conservation; the deployment and management of genetic diversity in agroecosystems; the role of bioinformatics in ...
Results of the collaborative research activities of the IRRI and Philippine Rice Research Institute to study rice diversity and its management by farmers in the Cagayan Valley are presented. In addition, the opportunities to involve farmers in the overall framework of rice genetic resources...
This paper discusses the historic profile of ex situ plant germplasm conservation with a main emphasis on the aspects most relevant to protection of genetic diversity and its use for agricultural development.
This paper discusses the explicit recognition to the role of indigenous communities to both accumulation and conservation (in situ, ex situ and on-farm) of knowledge and information on plant genetic diversity. In addition, a case study on the contribution of farming families in Kolli Hills, Tamil...
An overview of the developments in plant genetics and molecular biology is presented, which allowed the identification and characterization of genes to increase crop yield and protect crops from biotic and abiotic stresses with emphasis on wheat, rice, and maize.
This paper examines the contribution already possible from the application of existing molecular genetic techniques to the field of plant genetic resource management and the gaps and challenges that remain to be addressed. In addition, the potential of genomics to enhance human capability for...
An experiment was conducted to estimate the genetic diversity and to characterize available accessions using molecular markers in N. lappaceum. In addition, genetic diversity within the collection was also studied using isoenzyme polymorphism. A total of 81 scorable bands were generated, of which...
Fourteen coconut accessions (9 tall, 4 dwarf, and 1 intermediate type) were analysed using RAPD markers to establish genetic similarity among some indigenous and exotic coconut accessions maintained in the coconut germplasm centre in Kerala, India. Of the 100 primers tested, only 54 primers...
The strategies for the molecular characterization of Gossypium germplasm are discussed.
