Human Species

Only about 7% of all human genetic diversity is between major races. It would appear then that the superficial characters of skin color, hair form, lip, nose, and eye shape that we use to distinguish human races are atypical and do not represent the mode of human genetic variation. The taxonomic division of the human species into races places a completely disproportionate emphasis on a very small fraction of total human genetic diversity.

Clustering Pattern

Around 100 clones of tree willows were subjected for nursery screening twice on morphometric traits. Genetic diversity was assessed in twenty-five genetically superior willow clones hailing from six countries using 16 SSR primers. Fourteen primers amplified the DNA but only ten showed polymorphism. Total 34 bands were scored, out of that 27 were found to be polymorphic and 7 were monomorphic. Three primers showed 100% polymorphism whereas 79.4% polymorphism was recorded in total. The dendrogram obtained from SSR markers revealed that clone SE-69-002 (S. matsudana) and NZ-1040 (S. matsudana X S. alba) as most similar clones (Jaccards coefficient of 0.97), and clone PN-721(S. matsudana X S. alba) and PN-731 (S. nigra), as most divergent clones (Jaccards coefficient of 0.63). All the genotypes were grouped into 4 distinct clusters. On the basis of similarity coefficient analysis the first cluster comprised of 11 genotypes, the second cluster have 8 genotypes where as third one has only one genotype and fourth cluster retained five genotypes. The clustering pattern further indicated that the geographic distribution may not be the reflection of genetic diversity in willow clones. Genotypes with high molecular diversity could be used in breeding programme in order to obtain heterotic hybrids and development of gene pools with broad genetic base. The genotype specific bands developed by the SSR primers could also be used for identification of cultivar.

Forest genetic resources represent the genetic diversity contained in the thousands of species of forest trees on the earth. their conservation is a set of activities and strategies, which are performed in the aim of ensuring the continued existence, evolution and availability of these resources for the present and future generations. the aim of genetic resource management is the enhancement of conditions for the continual evolution of the species which is the defensive mechanism of the organisms in the struggle with environmental changes.

The Mediterranean Basin

Background The olive tree is a typical crop of the Mediterranean basin where it shows a wide diversity, accounting for more than 2,600 cultivars. The ability to discriminate olive cultivars and determine their genetic variability is pivotal for an optimal exploitation of olive genetic resources. Methods We investigated the genetic diversity within 128 olive accessions belonging to four countries in the Mediterranean Basin (Italy, Algeria, Syria, and Malta), with the purpose of better understanding the origin and spread of the olive genotypes across Mediterranean Basin countries. Eleven highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used and proved to be very informative, producing a total of 179 alleles. Results Cluster analysis distinguished three main groups according to their geographical origin, with the current sample of Maltese accessions included in the Italian group. Phylogenetic analysis further differentiated Italian and Maltese olive accessions, clarifying the intermediate position of Maltese accessions along the x/y-axes of principal coordinate analysis (PCoA). Model-based and neighbor clustering, PCoA, and migration analysis suggested the existence of two different gene pools (Algerian and Syrian) and that the genetic exchange occurred between the Syrian, Italian and Maltese populations. Discussion The close relationship between Syrian and Italian and Maltese olives was consistent with the historical domestication and migration of olive tree from the North Levant to eastern Mediterranean basin. This study lays the foundations for a better understanding of olive genetic diversity in the Mediterranean basin and represents a step toward an optimal conservation and exploitation of olive genetic resources.

The Impact

This chapter reviews the key issues and challenges facing genebanks in preserving crop genetic diversity ex situ. Local crop genetic diversity is challenged with changes in land use, urbanization, land degradation, changes in agricultural practises, availability of improved varieties, changes in market preference, and the impact of climate change. Efforts have been made to secure plant genetic resources ex situ for future use but there are significant issues related to cost effective, efficient, secure, rational, and sustainable long-term ex situ conservation. It begins by addressing issues for the composition of ex situ collections and moves on to discuss issues for routine operations for conservation. The chapter also highlights issues for the use of conserved genetic resources, before concluding with a summary of why the development of sustainable genebank systems is so important.
