To address the issue of food security, in terms of access to plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) as well as for realization of farmer’s rights, the International Treaty for Plant Genetic Resources (ITPGRFA) was adopted 2001. In 2010 a Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing (NP-ABS) was developed under CBD to facilitate exchange of biological resources bilatellary between countries, on mutually agreed terms. Both the Treaty and CBD offer regulatory mechanisms for exchange of germplasm and fair and equitable share of benefits and are implemented through national policies in mutually supportive manner. However, practically they have impacted germplasm flow. In the world of plant breeding and crop improvement, these regulations are seen to bring a slow-down in the international exchange of germplasm hampering scientific progress.","PeriodicalId":13295,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Plant Genetic Resources","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78447897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This impressive concentration on a few staple crops exposes the agricultural production system and their markets to vulnerability. Furthermore, recent UN report on World Population Prospects–2022 has made the whole World worry especially the countries like India where the population by 2050 would cross 1.66 billion and surpass the population of China (WPP, 2022). In such circumstances meeting the Sustainable Goals and providing healthy and nutritious food to increasing population would be a big challenge.

A rough-and-ready approach placing all other species of a crop genus as CWR is unacceptable, as it would lead to the listing of many unrelated species, also conversely, in some crops, the search has gone beyond the crop genera. Initially, based on overall closeness with the crop as well as their potential for use, a total of 861 Indian CWR taxa (769 species) were prioritized for 171 ICAR-mandated crops falling under 14 crop groups. Further prioritization was made on shortlisted taxa, based on the economic importance of crops per se , level of closeness to crops (cytogenetically/morphologically/molecularly), possessing traits of breeders’ interest, or already under wide-hybridization programme, and the extent of distribution/threat. This resulted in the identification of 292 taxa (257 species) belonging to 85 crops. These high-priority taxa were further analyzed for conservation gaps, if any. Of 292 taxa, only 167 were conserved in the National Genebank. While 28 taxa were represented with only one accession and 81 with <10 accessions, only 40 were with a fair number of accessions (≥50); however, they too lacked representative samples from across a geographical and ecological range.
