strategy
Propagating plant genetic resources
Synonyms:
Developing plant propagation techniques Implementation:
This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 recommends developing multiplication/propagation, exchange and dissemination facilities for PGRFA - plant genetic resources for agriculture - (seeds and planting materials), particularly in developing countries. Facilitates:
Preserving gene resourcesCorrecting plant genetic defectsConserving plant genetic resourcesPreserving genetic diversity in cultivated plants Facilitated by:
