Study on crop gene pool helps to develop varieties, to know the potential sources for breeding materials, to develop strategy for sustainable use and conservation and to know the richness in crop genetic resources of particular country. Individual farmers value diversity within and between their crops because of heterogeneous soils and production conditions, risk factors, market demand, consumption and uses of different products from an individual crop species. Both the potential for long term genetic gain and the reduction of genetic vulnerability may depend on the genetic diversity present in the genetic base…….
