dc.descriptionBiodiversity encompasses all biological entities occurring as an interacting system in a habitat or ecosystem and plants constitute a very important segment of such biological systems. Biodiversity of plants collectively known as 'plant genetic resources' is a key component of any agricultural production system - indeed, of any ecosystem, without which, natural evolutionary adjustment of the system to the changing environmental and biotic conditions would be impossible. Plant biodiversity is an irreplaceable resource, providing raw materials for introduction, domestication as well as improvement programmes in agriculture and forestry. Conservation and use of genetic diversity for sustainable ecosystem or agro ecosystem should be continuous to meet food, clothing, shelter and health requirements of India's growing population.
