The phytogenetic resources for food and agriculture constitute the biological basis of the world’s food safety and the sustenance of world population. These resources are the most important raw material of the phyto-enhancers and the most indispensable contribution for farmers.Conservation in situ is being increasingly affected, and it is for this reason that training activities are carried out to sensitize the local population to safeguard diversity. In the past years the ex situ conservation alternatives have increased, particularly, the long-term ones and the molecular characterization and identification of the varieties withmolecular markers techniques in which iso-enzymes up to genome sequencing have been used. The pineapple germplasm is mainly maintained in three great collections located in Brazil, Martinique and Hawaii. In Cuba, the genetic base of the species is not extensive,...

The cassava is an important phytogenetic resource in Guyana, where is the fourth nutritional product in order of importance according to the amount of calories that contains, following rice, wheat and corn. It takes part in the Guyanese populations' nutritional plans and is the primary agricultural product of the indigenous communities. The indigenous population depends on the diversity of dishes and beverages such as farinha, casabe, cassareep and piwari which are made from the root of plants both sweet or bitter cassava, the latter being of paramount in guyanese gastronomy. This resource is preserved in the country either in situ, in the Amazonic jungle and other mountain areas; like ex situ, in the germplasm banks of Kairuni and Ebini belonging to the National Institute of Investigation and Agricultural Extension which accounts with 87 accessions. The climate change and the population...
