During the early 1980s, while searching for ways to more fully utilize the techniques of plant biotechnology, IPGRI (the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, then the International Board of Plant Genetic Resources, IBPGR) suggested that germplasm be collected by means of in vitro meth...

In vitro collecting techniques for germplasm conservation
Many important varieties of field, horticultural and forestry species are either difficult as their seeds, if produced, are recalcitrant or reproduce vegetatively. Genetic resources of such plant species are generally conserved in field genebanks. Despite the often-cited drawbacks, field genebank...

The application of genetic markers such as allozymes and DNA (Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid) markers has shown to be useful in studying genetic diversity in humans, animals and plants (Cruzan, 1998). This section of this manual attempts to give guidelines for choosing appropriate molecular tools for t...
