- Abstract
- In 1984, Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) were defined by the International
Undertaking of the FAO as the entire generative and vegetative reproductive
material of species with economical and/or social value, especially for the agriculture
of the present and the future, with special emphasis on nutritional plants.
Within the last 100 years, with powerful support from the \"plant genetic resources
movement\" since about 1970, large collections of PGR have been built up in
genebanks as a reservoir for present and future tasks for breeding research and
plant breeding. The disappearance of landraces and other materials, including in
their centers of diversity, became evident (genetic erosion). The speeding up of the
loss of species (extinction) initiated the global biodiversity discussions in the early
1980s. Extinction and genetic erosion are both driven by climatic change.
Impending more significant damage through climatic change and global warming
has led to conservation activities, which are largely based on in situ methods. But
they are also useful for the conservation of wild relatives of crop plants and
complement the ex situ approach of the genebanks.
The uses of PGR for improving the ability of crop plants to cope with the results
of changing climate are described. They include newly introduced crop plants from
wild progenitors, neglected and underutilized crops, and new plant combinations.
The evaluation of PGR has to be intensified in order to obtain material with the
desired characteristics (heat resistance, drought resistance, salt resistance, stress
resistance). Germplasm enhancement is necessary to obtain material that can be
used by breeders (literal)
