Genetic Diversity Utilization and Conservation of Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biodiversity and Conservation of Woody Plants

Part of the book series: Sustainable Development and Biodiversity ((SDEB,volume 17))

Abstract

This chapter deals with recent studies on the genetic diversity of neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.), its forms of use and conservation of genetic resources, focusing on the applications of this species for livestock rearing, agriculture, medicine and industry. Information about germplasm banks and collections of the species worldwide is also included. In addition, as a case study, we have analyzed neem’s wide distribution in Brazil and the maintenance of an active neem germplasm bank operated by Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation).
