Abstract
Each species requires minimum/optimum area for its survival, evolution and gene exchange. Analysis of
habitat condition, function, composition, fragmentation, patchiness, interspersion and juxtaposition has an
impact on the ecology and evolutionary process. Greater the variety of types of habitat, greater is the
diversity of genetic resources and better the chances of mitigating the extinction risk from the ever
changing climate. However, spatial representations of the habitat and genetic resources at a scale which
can be used for genetic resources management and conservation planning are lacking. This paper presents
application of geoinformatics technology in characterization of the genetic resources at landscape level.
The resultant outputs in the geospatial domain help in delineation of the biodiversity rich hot-spots, its
spatial pattern and variability under the influence of biophysical, socio-economic and climatic conditions.
These will further assist in the identification of the potential areas for germplasm collection, in-situ
biodiversity conservation, exploring the various traits for the climate smart agriculture. It also discusses
bio-prospecting of the genetic resources and its implications in climate change adaption and mitigation.
