近世纪来，人们一直在收集和保存植物的遗传多样性。种质库作为遗传变异储存库的活种子收藏品已经被建立起来，作为改良农作物的基因来源。遗传连锁图使研究提高产量和其他对农业重要的复杂性状的基因的染色体定位成为可能。基因组研究的工具可能最终释放我们野生和栽培种质资源的遗传潜力，造福社会。
Nearly a century has been spent collecting and preserving genetic diversity in plants. Germplasm banks-living seed collections that serve as repositories of genetic variation-have been established as a source of genes for improving agricultural crops. Genetic linkage maps have made it possible to study the chromosomal locations of genes for improving yield and other complex traits important to agriculture. The tools of genome research may finally unleash the genetic potential of our wild and cultivated germplasm resources for the benefit of society.
