Abstract
Over the past century, genetic resources conservation has advanced based on fundamentals of botany, horticulture, agronomy, plant breeding, plant pathology, and entomology.
In the future, some of the greatest opportunities for improved discovery, conservation, and use of the earths biodiversity will occur because of our collective abilities to employ genomics and bioinformatics to understand and exploit variation of the gene, genome, and genepool.
The capabilities and insights provided through the application of genomics and bioinformatics will affect how we ask biological and agricultural questions, how we understand diversity, and how we utilize germplasm for the benefit of the global society.
In this presentation, I will highlight how these new technology-driven disciplines impact management of both ex situ and in situ diversity
