Abstract
Description
This book contains several articles with various topics. Some articles have been presented at the conference on “Boosting Big Data of Plants with Digital Identifiers” held in Bali, Indonesia, June 11-13, 2019, and some others are purposively written for this book. The main articles are on the use of DOI as permanent unique identifier on PGR; however, some papers presented at the conference also include papers on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) related to PGR and gene bank management. To give the reader a broad overview on the big data of plant, two articles on the fourth agriculture revolution and Global Information System (GLIS) on PGR are introduced in chapter 1. Chapter 2 reviewed the rights, conservation and use of PGR.
The purpose of this book and the conference is to introduce to the scientific community, in particular agricultural scientist, the use of DOI as permanent unique identifier for plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA); since agricultural scientist is one of the primary beneficiaries of the use of DOI on PGRFA. The assignation of DOI on PGR will trigger improvement in crops information system and facilitate the appropriate and quality-controlled sharing of information of the PGRFA data. The adoption of unique identifier will further empower genomic and phenomic researches, functional gene
discovery and increase the efficiency and effectivity of plant breeding program, which, ultimately increase the capacity to adapt to the climate change and food security.
We wish to thank the secretariat of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) for funding the conference and the preparation of this book and the Director General of the Indonesian Agency of Agriculture Research and Development (IAARD) for publishing the book through the IAARD press and the Director of Indonesian Center for Agricultural Biotechnology and Genetic Resources Research
and Development (ICABIOGRAD) for funding the final printing and multiplication of the book.
