| Résumé | Sustained progress in plant breeding requires a broad genetic base. A rich and diverse germplasm collection is the backbone of every successful crop improvement program. Genetic diversity becomes more important as cropping intensity and use of monocultures continues to increase in all major crop-producing regions of the world. Germplasm conservation and use are handled by professionals from two scientific disciplines—germplasm curators and breeders. The establishment of a genebank requires considerable capital for cold storage and other physical facilities and long-term investments to cover operational cost. Efficient germplasm use requires active interaction among curators, experimental biologists, and breeders. The sustainability issue presents a challenge to germplasm conservation and use. Progress in molecular and cell biology offers golden opportunities for efficient conservation and active use of germplasm. Understanding genetic diversity of conserved germplasm and crop gene pools is critical to the efficient use of crop germplasm. |
