Increasing genetic diversity by participatory varietal selection in high potential production systems in Nepal and India
TL;DR: Participatory varietal selection (PVS), a simple and powerful method of increasing food production in the high potential production systems that produce most of the developing world's grain, identified new varieties that farmers preferred and their adoption by farmers increased on-farm varietal biodiversity within the three cropping seasons studied.

Implications of transgenic, insecticidal plants for insect and plant biodiversity
TL;DR: It is proposed that partially or moderately resistant plants expressing quantitative rather than single gene traits and affecting the target pest sub-lethally may provide a more meaningful contribution of agricultural biotechnology to modern sustainable agriculture.

Agrobiodiversity: Its Value, Measurement, and Conservation in the Context of Sustainable Agriculture
Brian E. Love,Dean Spaner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of both ex situ and in situ conservation approaches are discussed, and the importance of seed exchange and ethical concerns are outlined, as well as the value and measurement of agrobiodiversity conservation.

Impact of plant breeding on genetic diversity of agricultural crops: searching for molecular evidence
TL;DR: Assessment of genetic diversity changes in existing genepools of major agricultural crops revealed different impacts of plant breeding on improved genep pools, not only narrowing or widening their genetic base, but also shifting their genetic background.
