They are a vital resource by providing a pool of genetic variation that can be used in breeding new and better adapted varieties of crops that are resistant to stress, disease, drought and other factors. They will be increasingly important in allowing crops to adapt to the impacts of climate, thus safeguarding future agricultural production. Until recently, the main conservation strategy adopted for CWR has been ex situ - through the maintenance of samples as seed or vegetative material in various kindIssues in agricultural biodiversity.CropsGermplasm resourcesGermplasm resources, PlantGermplasm resources conservationCropsGermplasm resources.Germplasm resources, Plant.Germplasm resources conservation.333.95/3416Hunter Danny1656226Heywood V.
