Management of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in the Philippines: Status and
Risks
Provedor de dados: 185
Autores: Susan Sandra L. Ilao; Noel A. Catibog.
[[abstract]]The Philippines is home to a rich diversity of plant and animal genetic resources, and plays a vital role in preserving
global species. Plant genetic resources (PGR) for food and agriculture are conserved in situ in national reservations and as a
component of the traditional farming systems. Ex situ collections of important germplasm have been assembled and maintained
since the early 1900s. Specific holding institutions conserve major crops in their genebanks. Most of the PGR initiatives in this
country are part of the varietal improvement programs of various institutions. The status of conserving the plant genetic resources
for food and agriculture, capability building and R&D initiatives are briefly discussed. Many problems, however,...

Plant Genetic Resource Management in Indonesia
Provedor de dados: 185
Autores: Sutoro.
[[abstract]]The loss of genetic resources which sustain people is now widely recognized to be critical; therefore, plant genetic
resources have to be intensively managed. Plant genetic resource materials need to be conserved in crop research institutes as base
and working collections. Ex situ conservation has been carried out with cold storage of seeds of plant genetic resources, while
plant genetic resources propagated by vegetative organs are conserved in the field and in vitro. To increase public awareness, the
National Committee of Genetic Resources promotes the importance of managing genetic resources. The morphological characters
of plant genetic resources that have been collected in seed-field banks should be measured, and their resistance to biotic...

Risk Management of Microbial Genetic Resources in the BCRC/FIRDI of Taiwan
Provedor de dados: 185
Autores: Chii-Cherng Liao.
[[abstract]]Microorganisms, their cells and replicable parts (e.g. genomes, plasmids, viruses, and complementary DNAs) are the
tools for biotechnology and underpin the life sciences. They provide a major source of genetic information to solve problems in
agriculture, industry, plant and animal sciences, and human health. The total number of microorganisms is unknown, and they are
difficult to study in situ. Microorganisms that are isolated from natural and manmade environments are typically conserved in
microbial resource centers (MRCs). It has been over two decades since 1982, when the Bioresource Collection and Research
Center of the Food Industry Research and Development Institute (BCRC/FIRDI) initiated the work of microbial resource
collection and...
