Sommario/riassunto

Conservation in protected areas has focused on preserving biodiversity of ecosystems, whereas conserving the genetic diversity contained within species has historically been ignored. This book presents a set of management guidelines that can be used for the conservation of plant genetic diversity of crop wild relatives in protected areas.
