In recent years it has become evident that there is no single publication that provides the prospective collector of plant germplasm with generic as well as specific, and theoretical as well as practical, information. It was to fill this gap that IPGRI, together with FAO, IUCN and UNEP, cooperate...
Much has been said about the need to base biodiversity conservation strategies on solid scientific foundations, for example in international agreements such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and The State of the World's Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. Of course, this req...

The conservation status of wild Arachis spp. is not well characterized for its maintenance and possible future exploitation for the improvement of cultivated peanut, Arachis hypogaea L. Our objectives were to use 2175 georeferenced observations of wild peanut (Arachis spp.) to assess the conserva...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) variation is being used increasingly to characterize germplasm collections. However, the technique has limitations due to the lack of reproducibility of results under certain conditions. Here we review some of the literature on the factors that are mainly r...
