....crop genebanks. Currently, over six million accessions of various crop species are preserved in genebanks. Paradoxically, the use and management of the genebanks is hindered by the very success in collecting such a vast resource. To mitigate this problem, the core collection concept was proposed [11, 5]. A core collection is a sub set (approximately 5 10 ) of the base collection. The concept is based on principles from statistical and population genetics [3] The underlying idea is that the information gained from the core collection can be used to extract useful genes from the base collection. ....
....6 million accessions preserved in the genebanks [10] To overcome the problems posed by the collections size, Harlan [14] recommended that a small subset should be carefully sampled to represent the diversity of the base collection. This concept was termed the core collection by Frankel [11]. Formally, a core collection is defined as a sub set derived from an existing germplasm collection, chosen to represent the genetic spectrum in the entire collection [11, The primary motivation behind the concept is to save resources. Ideally, a core collection should act as a window to ....
