Abstract

Agriculture begins with seed and most improvements in agriculture employ plant genetic diversity. Agricultural trait improvement and genetic gain rely on germplasm diversity and associated information. Given the pace of germplasm loss, technology is critical in germplasm management and preservation. Traits that improve crop productivity and quality of produce also indirectly contribute towards germplasm conservation. Digital information can also help to monitor and conserve genetic diversity.
