Résumé :
|
The publication attempts to provide a brief overview of currently available techniques and to outline some of their strengths and limitations. It also provides a framework to assist users in identifying what technique(s) might be most appropriate for their own needs. It is not intended as a laboratory manual of the techniques or as a substitute for the many excellent discussions of the strengths and weaknesses of individual methods that can be found in the literature. Rather, it is a broad survey of the main features of the different techniques and of the factors that conservation workers should bear in mind when initiating a molecular genetic based investigation. Molecular genetics is a fast-moving field and new techniques are likely to be developed in the future which will have their own strengths and limitations. Users of this publication will want to be able to consider these as well and it is hoped that the principles identified in this publication are sufficiently general to enable them to do this. Although the power of molecular techniques provides tremendous new opportunities for conservation workers, they should not be seen as a substitute for other agromorphological or biochemical studies that provide users with the information they need on the resources conserved. Indeed one of the main objectives of current work should be to link these different components together to provide a more complete understanding of the diversity available and the ways in which it can best be used to enhance agricultural and forestry production and sustainable development.
