911) Genetic diversity and core subset selection in ex situ seed collections of the banana crop wild relative Musa balbisiana
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) play a key role in crop breeding by providing beneficial trait characteristics for improvement of related crops. CWRs are more efficiently used in breeding if the plant material is genetically characterized, but the diversity in CWR genetic resources has often been assessed...

913) Varietal Threat Index for Monitoring Crop Diversity on Farms in Five Agro-Ecological Regions in India
Our knowledge about the status of agrobiodiversity on farms is still very limited. While several studies to assess the crop genetic diversity on farms have been undertaken, there are no systematic documentation and monitoring practices for varietal diversity in space and time. Achievement of the agrobiodiversity...
