Advances in molecular and cell biology have led to the development
of a whole range of techniques for manipulating genomes,
collectively termed biotechnology . Although much of the focus in
the plant sciences has been on the direct manipulation of plant
genomes, biotechnology has also catalyzed a renewed emphasis on the
importance of biological and genetic diversity and its
conservation. The methods of biotechnology now permit a greater
understanding of both species and genetic diversity in plants, the
mechanisms by which that variation is generated in nature, and the
significance of that variation in the adaptation of plants to their
environment. They allow the development of rapid methods for
screening germplasm for specific characters and promote more
effective conservation strategies by defining the extent of genetic
diversity. Tissue culture-based techniques are available for
conserving germplasm that cannot be maintained by more traditional
methods. Also sophisticated informatics systems enable information
on plant genetics and molecular biology to be cross-related to
systematic, ecological and other data through international
networks."
