| Preserving heirloom vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers keeps the world's available genetic diversity alive. |
| While genetic diversity may not be the first concern for most farmers, it is for plant breeders and scientists. |
| Many studies have been devoted to the maintenance of genetic diversity of endemic or endangered island species. |
| This genetic diversity also creates a challenge in treating those infected with the disease and developing a vaccine to protect the uninfected. |
| Management to increase the genetic diversity of the population should, therefore, be considered. |
| Asexual populations thus maintain higher genetic diversity at each single locus but a lower number of different genotypes. |
