Genetic Resource Ⅰ Genetic resource I. Genetic resource Genetic resources are, according to the international convention for biodiversity, living material that includes genes of present and potential value for humans. Plant genetic resources includes all our agricultural crops and even some of their wild relatives because they too often have valuable traits. II. Germplasm Ⅱ Germplasm A germplasm is a collection of genetic resources for an organism. For plants, the germplasm may be stored as a seed collection or, for trees, in a nursery. III. BioResource For agriculture resources Ⅲ 3 Ⅱ BioResource Plant varieties include in genetic resource A bioresource is a resource that is living in some way. Animals and vegetables grown for food could be considered bioresources, as could plants grown for energy needs. However our bioresources are a collection and conservation of genetic resources for basic research in life science fields.
The Causes of Plant Genetic Diversity Loss The kind of artificial and natural changes that may lead to loss of genetic diversity or genetic erosion may be broadly grouped under the following headings. - Genetic Diversity Genetic diversity, the level of biodiversity, refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary. The interdependence between genetic and biological diversity is delicate. Changes in biological diversity lead to changes in the environment, leading to adaptation of the remaining species. Changes in genetic diversity, such as in loss of species, leads. to a loss of biological diversity. - Genetic Erosion Genetic erosion in agricultural and livestock biodiversity is the loss of genetic diversity, including the loss of individual genes, and the loss of particular combination of genes (or gene complexes) such as those manifested in locally adapted landraces of domesticated animals or plants adapted to the natural environment in which they originated. The major driving forces behind genetic erosion in crops are: variety replacement, land clearing, overexploitation of species, population pressure, environmental degradation, overgrazing, policy and changing agricultural systems. The main factor, however, is the replacement of local varieties of domestic plants and animals by high yielding or exotic varieties or species. A large number of varieties can also often be dramatically reduced when commercial varieties (including GMOs) are introduced into traditional farming systems. Original by CIMMYT
Plant Breeder s Right and Plant Patents - Potential of Genetic Resources PGR continue to play an important role in the development of agriculture. Genetic material of plants which is of value as a resources for the present and future generations of people. These can be classified in seven different groups. Primitive forms of cultivated plants and land races Modern cultivars and obsolete (unused) cultivars Breeding lines and genetic stocks Weed races Related wild species and other wild species - Plant breeder s Right Plant breeder found a special characteristic of plant genetic resources. Plant breeder has done very well for producing varieties. The colleague and company have done very well too. The company that developed the varieties spend a lot of money. At least the company need to monopolize the varieties for a certain period. - UPOV UPOV was established by the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants. The Convention was adopted in Paris in 1961 and revised in 1972, 1978 and 1991. The objective of the Convention is the protection of new varieties of plants by an intellectual property right. By codifying intellectual property for plant breeders, UPOV aims to encourage the development of new varieties of plants for the benefit of society. - What kind of plants for UPOV? At the date on which it becomes bound by this convention, to all plant genera and species to which it applies.
National BioResource Project in Japan NBRP The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has conducted the first and second terms of the National BioResource Project (NBRP) from FY 2002 to FY 2011 to comprehensively promote life sciences. The major purpose of this project is to collect, preserve, and provide bioresources (such as experimental animals and plants) that are essential experimental materials for life sciences research. The project also aims to improve the bioresources by increasing the value of bioresources through enriching genome information and developing fundamental technologies for preservation and other necessary procedures, in order to meet to the current scientific demands. In addition, reinforcement of functions of the information center is included in the project to enhance dissemination 3 of the information regarding the whereabouts and biological characteristics of bioresources. Project General Outline 1) Core facility upgrading program 2) Genome information upgrading program 3) Fundamental technology upgrading program 4) Information center upgrading program
Genetic resources in agriculture preserving the diversity The conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources in agriculture are essential to the sustainable development of agricultural production and of rural areas. The education of genetic resources program on the conservation, characterization, collection and utilization of genetic resources in agriculture promotes genetic diversity and the exchange of information between both country. It also facilitates co-ordination in the field of international undertakings on genetic resources. And we can understand at Plant Variety Protection system.
