Abstract

In this paper, we first present a brief update on the progress made in using genetic characterization to guide decision making for several conservation activities. Next, we focus on the attractive prospects offered by molecular characterization to enhance germplasm use, which is the ultimate purpose of conserving diversity of genetic resources.
