Title Genetic Resources Activities at ICRISAT
 
Creator Mengesha, M H
 
Subject Genetics and Genomics
 
Description Established in 1979, the Genetic Resources Unit (GRU), ICRfSAT, is
implementing short and long-term work plans in areas ofgermplasm collection,
evaluation, maintenance, documentation, conservation and utilisation.
The GRU has assembled 93,951 accessions in its gene bank from 125 centres
which pertain to sorghum, pear/millet, chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut.
The status of these collections and the collaborative role ofGRU in collection
and conservaiion of genetic resources in national and international context
is stressed. Future lines ofactivity are indicated. There is a need to have
duplicate germplasm conservation centres and collection of wild relatives
is stressed. ICRISAT has developed short-term, medium-term and longterm
conservation facilities and its gene bank is now operational.
