Explain the germplasm collection !

Hello James,

Collection of plants or seeds having diverse alleles of all the genes of a crop is known as germplasm collection. It is an example of ex-situ conservation of biodiversity. Ex-situ conservation is done by preserving the components of biological diversity outside the natural habitats. It is done by conserving genetic resources, as well as wild and cultivated or species.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!

Hello james

Germplasm is the collection of all the diverse alleles of all the genes of a crop plant. It offers the following:

- Provides entire alleles and genes to the breeders and also the characteristics which a plant expresses.

- Most favourable characters of a specific gene are selected by the breeder to manipulate it and transfer to the desired parent

HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU

GOOD LUCK!
