The genetic combinations found in plants are the basis for plant breeding programs, which are essential to the security of our present and future food supply. This book explains what these genetic resources are, how they are handled, and why they should be safely conserved for the future. The authors also explore the applications of this research to political and operational programs in all parts of the world and its impact on the conservation of biodiversity, ecosystem rehabilitation, and the future health of our planet.

Review:
"Holden and colleagues trace the evolution of major crop plants, their migration from centers of origin, and their subsequent adaptation through plant breeding to a wider variety of environmental areas....The authors consider the need for worldwide collaboration and conservation of genetic materials, outline gaps in the science, and suggest urgently needed research....interesting book for the general public, undergraduates, graduates, and policymakers in the agricultural, biological, and environmental sciences." H.W. Ockerman, Choice
