1/1
The International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) is an independentinternational scientific organization that seeks to advance the conservation and use of
plant genetic diversity for the well-being of present and future generations. It is one of 16Future Harvest Centres supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricul-
tural Research (CGIAR), an association of public and private members who supportefforts to mobilize cutting-edge science to reduce hunger and poverty, improve human
nutrition and health, and protect the environment. IPGRI has its headquarters inMaccarese, near Rome, Italy, with offices in more than 20 other countries worldwide. TheInstitute operates through three programmes: (1) the Plant Genetic Resources
Programme, (2) the CGIAR Genetic Resources Support Programme and (3) the Interna-tional Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain (INIBAP).
Financial support for IPGRI's research is provided by more than 150 donors,including governments, private foundations and international organizations. For details of
donors and research activities please see IPGRI's Annual Reports, which are availablein printed form on request from ipgri-publications@cgiar.org or from IPGRI's Web site
(www.ipgri.cgiar.org).
The Institute for Genomic Diversity (IGD) is located at Cornell University in Ithaca,
New York, USA. IGD's mission is to develop, transfer, and provide technologies andeducational resources to solve problems affecting the conservation of biodiversity and
global food security. Specifically, its goals are: to utilize evolutionary and comparativegenomics to solve applied problems; to develop and transfer enabling technologies in
genomics and bioinformatics; to provide continuing support for national and internationalefforts in conservation, agriculture, and crop improvement; and to educate and train atall levels (including but not limited to undergraduate and graduate students, visiting
scientists, faculty, teachers).
