91 Green Revolution 2.0: Search and Identification of Genetic Diversity in Crops

Genetic diversity is one of the keys to crop adaptation, uses and production. The search for genetic diversity is a continued effort. Every researcher and crop system has a unique manner in which to approach this search.
