内容説明

This, the first report of the DNA Bank-Net - an organization whose goal is to encourage the conservation, collection and preservation of plant genes - covers DNA banking and gene retrieval; oligonucleotides from endangered/extinct species; operation of a DNA banking facility; the impact of intellectual property rights in developing countries; interim preservation of plants for DNA use; cryopreservation of fruit stocks; and a critical review of international conservation efforts.
