Genetic resources are genetic material of actual or potential value, where genetic material means any material of plant, animal, microbial or other origin containing functional units of heredity.[1] Genetic resources is one of the three levels of biodiversity defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity in Rio, 1992.
Examples
- Animal genetic resources for food and agriculture
- Forest genetic resources
- Germplasm, genetic resources that are preserved for various purposes such as breeding, preservation, and research
- Plant genetic resources
- Genetic resources conservation and sustainable use
