Genetic Conservation of Plants

Genetic protection of plants brings many potential benefits to different populations. These advantages lead to the expansion of genetically modified crops. In response to public concerns about these trends, governments around the world are developing regulations to manage the risks associated with the release of GM crops into the agricultural system. In recent years, the dramatic increase in genetically modified crops has raised concerns about health and environmental impact.

Genetic resources of plants can be protected for sustainable development and for improvement and maintenance of agriculture and forestry production. The objective of plant genetic resource protection is to maintain an extensive sample of the genetic diversity of scientifically and economically viable target species, including currently recognized genes, traits and genotypes. Genetic Diversity Although its natural resources are found in wild species, it is important to find the number of genetic variations by morphology, biochemistry and molecular markers, in addition to some interesting physiological changes. Characterization of diversity is based on morphological features. However, morphological variability is often limited, and it turns out that traits may not be evident at all stages of plant development. Identification plays a very important role in diversity research

Over the past few decades, the erosion and shrinkage of Indian animal and plant genetic resource bases has influenced domestic food security. The safe protection of indigenous peoples and introduced genetic variants of genetic resources research and evaluation, and crop plants, animals, and their wild relatives will attract special attention. The application of biotechnology is to develop plants that have low water consumption, resistance to drought, resistance to pests, contain more nutrients, and provide higher yields and environmental safety It will be used for. Protecting biological resources through inhabitation conservation in gene banks and biodiversity conservation in habitat in natural habitat through parks is a top priority in preventing their extinction. Specific measures will also be taken to protect endangered endemic species. There is a limited time plan for listing, cataloging and classifying the country's vast agricultural biodiversity.
