| Title : | THE STATE OF AGRICULTURAL PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES OF MONTENEGRO |
| Abstract : | Biological diversity is a foundation of human existence and its role in sustainable development is becoming increasingly valuable. Genetic resources in food and agriculture (agrobiodiversity) represent one of the most important components of overall biodiversity. Rich Montenegrin plant gene pool represents important natural resource for food production and agriculture in general. Intensification of agricultural production, inadequate land usage and human negligence resulted in disappearance of large number of local varieties and population. However, small part of diversity is saved thanks to extensive production of farmers. Although in last few years big efforts were done in order to collect and conserve them, accession number in national gene bank is still small, as a consequence of long delays in organized work on genetic resources. This paper represents the status of plant genetic resources in Montenegro and the activities carried out in order to preserve them. |
