302 Symposium--Footprints of Diversity in the Agricultural Landscape: Understanding and Creating Spatial Patterns of Diversity

Oral Session
C08 Plant Genetic Resources
This symposium will explore costs and benefits of patterns and scales of genetic diversity in the landscape. One challenge to use of plant genetic diversity has been the difficulty of meeting cultivation and processing standards when using diverse materials. This session will look at some of the tools available to plant breeders to combine diversity with meeting market and consumer needs.
