Abstract
Any research that attempts to explain the mechanisms responsible for a particular trait must use germplasm accessions that differ in expression of the particular trait being examined. The ideal situation is to select accessions that are positive and negative for the trait, i.e., a plus-minus situation. In this way the researcher may look for responses associated with the positive accession that are absent from the negative accession. This chapter presents information concerning the locations of and diversity within the most important germplasm collections and provides examples where germplasm diversity has been used in research to achieve specified objectives.
