- Abstract : The proposed Global Conservation Strategy for Musa aims to build upon existing strengths in the global collection at the ITC, several 'internationally-recognised' collections and national collections and the existing culture of collaboration to rationalize the global effort to conserve the Musa gene pool and promote the safe use and distribution of a wide range of diversity. The ultimate aims are to increase and expand the use of genetic diversity from high-technology research to use in farmers’ fields. The following four major outputs are proposed:
• genetic diversity is comprehensively characterized and documented, taxonomy is harmonised, and collections are rationalized;
• the global system for the safe exchange of germplasm is strengthened;
• the entire gene pool is conserved in perpetuity;
• the use of genetic diversity is maximized.
