Summary:

This book contains 43 chapters, 36 of which were presented at the a conference entitled "Towards the establishment of genetic reserves for crop wild relatives and landraces in Europe" held at the University of Madeira, Funchal, Portugal between 13 and 17 September 2010. The conference papers are presented in the following sections: genetic reserve conservation of crop wild relatives (14 papers); on-farm conservation of landraces (10 papers); priority setting and threat assessment (4 papers); in situ data management (4 papers); in situ PGR conservation - policy implications and implementation (4 papers). This book is aimed at providing exemplars for crop wild relatives and landraces conservation and use with practical methods, protocols and initiatives. Although the book specifically focuses on methodological application in Europe, the in situ methods described are generic and are transferable across the globe. The text is designed to be of use to conservation professionals, geneticists, ecologists, agriculturalists, agro- and biodiversity policy makers and postgraduate students in developed and developing countries throughout the world.
