Conservation, sustainable use and institutional capacities of genetic resources of cereals
Apstrakt
Plant genetic resources which are important for food and agriculture represent
only a small part of total biodiversity, but their sustainable management is crucial
for maintaining the most expressive genotypes of cultivated crops made by nature
itself. In accordance with the requirements of species and possibilities of countries,
plant genetic material for food and agriculture is mainly conserved in two ways: in
situ or in natural habitats and on farms, as well as ex situ or in gene banks. Taking
into account that cereals represent the basis of the world food security, the paper
examined the genetic resources of these crops i.e., their state in ex situ preservation
conditions. Desk research methodology was used to collect data on the number of
samples in the largest collections of cereal germplasm worldwide, with the focus
on the genetic resources of wheat and maize. It is estimated that there are more
than 1,750 gene banks holding approximately 7.4 million samples of differ...ent gene
material of plants significant for food and agriculture worldwide. Collections of
the two main cereal crops - wheat and maize - make up as much as 15% of the
global ex situ conserved germplasm.
