An Overview of Genetic Resources Management -- 1. Genetic Vulnerability and Crop Diversity -- 2. Crop Diversity: Institutional Responses -- 3. In Situ Conservation of Genetic Resources -- 4. The Science of Collecting Genetic Resources -- 5. The Science of Managing Genetic Resources -- 6. Using Genetic Resources -- 7. Biotechnology and Germplasm Conservation -- 8. Documentation of Genetic Resources -- 9. The Conservation of Genetic Stock Collections -- 10. The Genetic Resources of Microorganisms -- 11. Exchange of Genetic Resources: Quarantine -- 12. Exchange of Genetic Resources: Proprietary Rights -- 13. Genetic Resources: Assessing Economic Value -- 14. Conflicts Over Ownership, Management, and Use -- 15. National and International Programs.
Genetic diversity is one of agriculture's first lines of defense against loss to biologic and environmental stresses. Yet, the world's genetic resources are continually threatened by these stresses and by human activities. This anchor volume to the series Managing Global Genetic Resources examines the structure that underlies efforts to preserve genetic material, including the worldwide network of genetic collections, the role of biotechnology, and a host of scientific, institutional, legal, economic, and political issues that surround management and use. Among the topics explored are in situ and ex situ conservation, management of very large collections of genetic material, problems of quarantine, the controversy over ownership or copyright of genetic material, the divergent interests of developing and developed countries, and more.
