This book contains edited and revised papers from a conference on 'Science and Technology for Managing Plant Genetic Diversity in the 21st Century' held in Malaysia in June 2000, organized by the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI). It includes three keynote papers and some 40 additional ones, covering ten themes. The major scientific challenges to developing a global vision for the next century are identified and key research objectives are discussed.
