C08 Plant Genetic Resources

Use of germplasm resources, unadapted, and unimproved might be the only way to protect crops having production issues such as a) increasing genetic diversity, b) introduction of new diseases, c) search for new uses and applications, among many others. Introduction of new germplasm sources in breeding programs causes yield reduction. How much and how this constrain has been coped in different crop species will be the subject of discussion.
