      abstract = {The pattern of crop genetic diversity has changed over the  past two centuries with the modernization of agriculture,  accelerating with the advent of the green revolution. Since  the green revolution, the locus of agricultural research  has shifted from the public to the private sector. The  growing importance of the private sector in agricultural  R&D is changing the types of crop technologies that are  developed and the ways they are delivered to farmers. The  spread of transgenic crops will influence crop genetic  diversity, but their implications for the availability of  plant genetic resources and the resilience of agricultural  ecosystems are not entirely clear. Transgenic crops may  increase or decrease crop genetic diversity, depending on  how they are regulated and deployed. This paper explores a  range of policy options to increase the likelihood that  private sector R&D, particularly in the form of transgenic  crops, enhances rather than erodes crop genetic diversity.},
