| Title : | THE IMPACT OF GENETICS IN THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE |
| Abstract : | Recent development in molecular and quantitative genetics and genomics offer powerful tools for preservation and improvement of animal genetic resources. Many of these new tools were applied for assessment of the situation in rare and endangered populations. Therefore, objective and between populations comparable methods of evaluation of genetic variation as well as economic evaluation of biodiversity are urgently needed. Some examples in the past shoved convincingly that application of novel technologies can contribute considerably to characterization and preservation of animal genetic resources. In addition to genetic and genomic tools, there is a number of techniques in reproduction biology which can efficiently support the efforts for preservation of animal genetic resources. |
