There is growing recognition that sustainable intensification of agricultural production systems and their successful adaptation to changes in climate will depend upon the improved access to, and use of, genetic diversity. This paper analyzes how the collection, use and distribution of plant gene...

How policies affect the use of plant genetic resources: the experience of the CGIAR
There is growing recognition that successful adaptation of agricultural production systems to
changes in climate will depend upon the improved access to, and use of, genetic diversity. In
order to facilitate this adaptation, new forms of interdisciplinary research, new technologies,
novel part...

Flows under stress: Availability of plant genetic resources in times of climate and policy change
Over the last decade, there has been an ongoing revolution in the exploration, manipulation and synthesis of biological systems, through the development of new technologies that generate, analyse and exploit big data. Users of Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) can potentially leverage these capacitie...
