The book entitled Genetic Resources and Seed Enterprises Management and Policies addresses the three core issues vital to modern crop improvement. The first part is related to collection characterization conservation and evaluation of plant genetic resources with focus on biotechnology interventions. The second part analyses in depth the principles of seed technology along with focus on seed industry which is expanding fast under private sector. The third part deals with international agreements and national legislations related to biodiversity conservation seed policies and intellectual property rights.
