The genetic diversity of flower crops is essential for their continued improvement and
adaptation to changing environmental conditions. However, these crops face increasing
threats from genetic erosion due to habitat loss, climate change, and unsustainable
agricultural practices. Effective genetic resource management and conservation strategies
are required to counter these challenges. This document reviews current genetic resource
management strategies for ower crops, including ex situ and in situ conservation
methods, and emphasizes their role in sustaining global agriculture and the ornamental
industry. Integrating traditional knowledge with modern biotechnological approaches is
highlighted as a pathway for achieving balanced conservation and sustainable utilization.
