BAR holds first seminar series for
2001
by Laarni Anenias
The Bureau, through the Knowledge Products
and Services Division and the Natural Sciences Research
Institute, recently held the first sequel of the BAR
Seminar Series on Analytical Techniques on Phylogeography
and Population Genetics. It was held on 30 January 2001
at NSRI in UP Diliman, Quezon City. Dr. Michael Purugganan,
assistant professor from North Carolina State University,
serves as resource speaker.
The seminar tackled an overview of phylogeography,
a field of study on the different principles and factors
affecting the processes of evolution and history of
species. Processes of evolution (gene flow, dispersal,
selection, drift) and the methods for predicting the
distribution of diversity (conservation and germplasm
exploitation) were likewise discussed.
Participants included staff and researchers
from the Bureau of Plant Industry; Institute of Plant
Breeding and National Institute of Molecular Biology
and Biotechnology in UP Los Baños; National Sciences
and Research Institute and Institute of Biology in UP
Diliman, and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources.
This activity was held as part of BAR's
program of upgrading the research capabilities of organizations
in the Plant Genetic Resources Network, a group of research
institutions concerned with the collection, characterization,
storage, and research in plant biodiversity.
