Summary Report of the Genetic Resources Policy Committee (GRPC) Meetings Held in 2005 by CGIAR Genetic Resources Policy Committee

“…They are: 1.Implementing the “Guiding principles for the development of Future Harvest Centres’ policies to address the possibility of unintentional presence of transgenes in ex situ collections”. 2) The development of the Future Harvest Centres’ draft agreement with the Governing Body to place their ex situ PGRFA collections under the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. 3) Implementation of Article 15.4 of the International Treaty, 4) declining rates of acquisition by Future Harvest Centre Genebanks and future acquisition strategies, 5) Ethical principles informing how Future Harvest Centres should deal with potentially confidential knowledge they develop in private sector partnerships and b. traditional knowledge they acess and use. 6) Promoting consistency among Centres' Intellectual Property Policy Statements, 7) Trends in the appropriation of , and the extension of controls over, genetic resources for food and agriculture that limit their availability fo research and breeding, 8) Invasive species and policy issues for the CGIAR, and 9) Centres' technology transfers as benefits sharing and Centres' contributions to farmers' rights pursuant to the International Treaty. …”

Mapping genetic diversity of Cherimoya (Annona cherimola Mill.): application of spatial analysis for conservation and use of plant genetic resources by Zonneveld, M. van, Scheldeman, Xavier, Escribano, P., Viruel, M.A., Damme, Patrick van, García, W., Tapia, C., Romero, J., Siguenas, M., Hormaza, J.I.

“…We present spatial analyses to (1) improve the understanding of spatial distribution of genetic diversity of cherimoya natural stands and cultivated trees in Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru based on microsatellite molecular markers (SSRs); and (2) formulate optimal conservation strategies by revealing priority areas for in situ conservation, and identifying existing diversity gaps in ex situ collections. …”

Greenhouse gas emissions along a peat swamp forest degradation gradient in the Peruvian Amazon: soil moisture and palm roots effects by Lent, Jeffrey van, Hergoualc'h, Kristell, Verchot, Louis V., Oenema, Oene, Groenigen, Jan Willem van

“…Lastly, the density of pneumatophore decreased drastically as the result of forest degradation and was positively correlated to in situ CH4 emissions. We conclude that recurrent M. flexuosa harvesting could result in a significant increase of in situ CO2 fluxes and a simultaneous decrease in CH4 emissions via pneumatophores. …”

Conservation gaps in traditional vegetables native to Europe and Fennoscandia by Sousa, Kauê de, Solberg, Svein Ø.

“…We mapped georeferenced occurrences and current genebank holdings based on global databases and conducted conservation gaps analysis based on representativeness scores in situ and ex situ. Out of the 35 target species, 19 got at a high priority score for further conservation initiatives, while another 14 species got a medium priority score. …”

Diversity under threat: Connecting genetic diversity and threat mapping to set conservation priorities for Juglans regia L. populations in Central Asia by Gaisberger, Hannes, Legay, Sylvain, André, Christelle, Loo, Judy, Aaliev, Sagynbek, Bobokalonov, Farhod, Muhsimov, Nurullo, Kettle, Christopher J., Vinceti, Barbara

“…Based on key indicators of genetic diversity and threat magnitude, we developed an approach to identify wild populations for priority conservation and defined appropriate measures to conserve their genetic diversity based on the specific threat magnitudes. We propose (i) ex-situ conservation in areas with ‘severe threat level’ due to climate change and (ii) in-situ conservation in areas with ‘minor threat level’ due to climate change. …”

New Tropical Peatland Gas and Particulate Emissions Factors Indicate 2015 Indonesian Fires Released Far More Particulate Matter (but Less Methane) than Current Inventories Imply by Wooster, M.J., Gaveau, D.L.A., Salim, M.A., Zhang, T., Xu, W., Green, D.C., Huijnen, V., Murdiyarso, D., Gunawan, D., Borchard, N., Schirrmann, M., Main, B., Sepriando, A.

“…PM2.5 are the most significant smoke constituent in terms of human health impacts, and we find in situ PM2.5 emissions factors for pure peat burning to be 17.8 to 22.3 g·kg−1, and for spreading vegetation fires atop burning peat 44 to 61 g·kg−1, both far higher than past laboratory burning of tropical peat has suggested. …”

The potential of payment for ecosystem services for crop wild relative conservation by Tyack, Nicholas, Dempewolf, Hannes, Khoury, Colin K.

“…A number of CWR taxa are at risk, however, necessitating coordinated local, national, regional and global efforts to preserve the genetic diversity of these plants through complementary in situ and ex situ conservation efforts. We discuss the absence of adequate institutional frameworks to incentivize CWR conservation services and propose payment for ecosystem services (PES) as an under-explored mechanism for financing these efforts. …”
