Inhaltsangabe:

Core collections have been developed to contain the genetic diversity of a crop species and its wild relatives. Work on conserving crop plant genetic resources has always been concerned as much with the effective use of the resources as with conserving variation per se. Core collections can make an important contribution to both objectives and have become an increasingly important part of discussions on conserving and using crop germplasm more effectively. A considerable number of projects to develop core collections are now in progress throughout the world and this text addresses the major issues concerning their effectiveness.
