907) Plant Genetic Resources and Climate Change: Drought
Drought is a complex problem that affects the livelihoods of millions of poor every year and most likely will become more frequent as the climate changes. Current knowledge on the molecular basis of drought resistance is not yet sufficient to develop more drought-resistant crops or varieties. Therefore,...

909) Conceptualizing Interventions to Support On-Farm Genetic Resource Conservation
Interest is increasing worldwide in on-farm conservation as a component of a strategy to conserve crop genetic resources. This may require outside support to small-scale farmers in areas of crop diversity. This paper argues that crop diversity maintained by farming households results from the interplay...
