Genetic resources.pptx presentation for bs

Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material m

1. Genetic resources Any biological material which contains genes and /or metabolic material that may be derived from genes Include microorganism, plant varieties animal breeds, genetic sequences, nucleotide, and amino acid sequence information

2. Biological conservation Maintain the diversity of living organisms, their habitats and their inter-relationships between organisms and their environment.

3. FLOWCHART Gene pool Conservation Utilization  

4. In situ conservation Maintain genetic variation on site ( wild or traditional farming systems) Genetic reserve conservation Conservation of wild species in situ This is the most appropriate strategy for most wild species

5. In situ Genetic reserve ( e.g. protected national park On-farm Home gardens

6. Selection of target taxa Factors influencing conservation status: Potential use Threat of genetic erosion Genetic distinction National or conservation agency priorities Culturally important species Relative cost of conservation

7. conservation In 1992 CBD united nations conference convention on biological diversity give two basic approaches: Ex situ Conservation of biological diversity outside of natural habitats. In situ Conservation of ecosystems and natural habitats.

8. Ex situ Eggs, embryos, semen for animal resources Seed storage-appropriate for most crops and wild species In vitro storage DNA storage Field gene bank Pollen storage Botanical gardens/Zoos

9. Ex situ techniques Seed storage (gene banks). Most convenient and widely used method for plants.

10. Dna storage Extract DNA Store dry –in buffer –at 80 Celsius Genes can be utilized Plants and animals can not be regenerated

11. Field gene back conservation Collect material from wild and keep it another location . Field genes banks used for: Cocoa Coffee Rubber Banana Coconut Sweet potato Mango Ash-Ireland

12. Botanic gardens /zoos Only a few specimens per species can be maintained. However, gardens/zoos often have conservation units and associated seed banks or cryopreservation units (e.g. Glasnevin , Dublin

13. In situ Genetic reserve (e.g. protected national park) On-farm Home gardens

14. Genetic reserves Designate Manage monitor

15. AnimAlS reserve Establish to conserve wild relatives of cereals T.turgidium var.dicoccoides (wild emmer) – the progenitor of durum & common wheat reserve is also important community for non-target taxa such as genetically important legumes

16. On farm conservation The maintenance of traditional crop varieties (land-races) or animal breeds. Land races are sown and harvested; breeds are maintained (subsidize farmers to farm old varieties/breeds). Home garden conservation Smaller scale, generally more species diverse mainly medicinal , flavouring , or vegetable spp. e.g. Chelsea Physic Garden, London
