Plant Genetic Resources, Inventory, Collection and Conservation

Abstract

Plant genetic resources are the potential sources for farming, experimenting, and conserving plants. The crisis imparted by genetic erosion instigated global conservation schemes to protect plants. Dye-yielding plants are gaining much importance due to severe toxic effects of synthetic dyes. Biotechnology-based approaches like in vitro propagation, metabolic engineering, gene markers, and genome sequencing have substantially contributed to the conservation of dye-yielding plants. Cryopreservation of plants is also part of this conservation policy. Indigenous communities, their traditional knowledge, and community-based approach must be considered for an efficient conservation of dye-yielding plants.
