Title Germplasm Exchange and Plant Quarantine Systems at ICRISAT
 
Creator Mengesha, M H

Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description The germplasm is considered as a pan of human biological heritage without whose
free exchange and availability, present day farm productivity would not have been
possible (Jain. 1982). Therefore. collection, evaluation, utilization, conservation and
exchange of genetic resources assume considerable significance, especially in view
of the rapid degradation and exploitation of the available biodiversity all over the
world (Mehra and Arora, 1982; Mengesha. 1984; Paroda and Arora. 1986; Paroda,
1989). Considerable efforts are being made worldwide to conserve the genetic
resources of important crop plants. Free exchange of diverse germplasm is essential.
Genetic manipulation is advancing at a fast pace and the progress may even be more
accelerated by the application of genetic engineering techniques in the future (Law,
1986).
