Greetings Dr. Nassar,
Thank you for an interesting read.
I did not think much of gene
conservation until I read your
articles. With all our advances in
science these days, gene
conservation is most vital to the
future.
I work in industrial forestry and
now with your articles in my mind I
can't help but think if we are
limiting our gene pool in forestry.
Thank you once again for widening my
intellectual horizon.
Cheers,
Joe Wong

Dear Professor Nassar
Obrigado para sua mensagem. Eu
estava muito interessado ler seu
artigo em Manihotoides.
Our current focus at Fauna & Flora
International is mainly on tree
species, but I will forward your
message to a colleague at UNEP-WCMC
who works on
non-timber-forest-products in Mexico
for her interest. It would certainly
be good to raise the profile of
these important genetic resources
that are so threatened.
Kind regards,

Dear Prof. Nassar,
I was delighted to browse through
your electronic journal focussing on
plant conservation. Indeed it is an
excellent compendium of useful
articles addressing various
conservation issues. It is one of
the most comendable e-journals I
have seen. I compliment you for
undertaking such a worderful task;
it would be most useful for those of
us who are into conservation
research.
Congratulations again!
With best wishes

Nagib,
I did visit the site and was pleased
at the information available. It is
a site I will list as a reference in
the list for cassava for my course
in Tropical Horticulture.
Take care,

Dear Nagib,
I just spent sometime at the Gene
Conserve website. Congrats! you've
got a solid journal going. You
deserve the congratulations
especially as you only recently
started. I read your own articles (that
picture of the conserved wild
cassava varieties are very revealing.
I thought we have some wild types
here in Ghana but certainly what you
have in Brazil are trees for timber
logs!). Braun and Amman paper was
also very educative. I think I'll
rather not single out papers. Just
state that I like your electronic
journal and hope that I can publish
in it soon.
By the way I suppose its your face
and moustache which flashes at the
website? Cheers , Hope to send an
article soon.

Dear Professor Nassar,
Today I had the opportunity to see
your website and found it very
interesting. I was looking for
examples of wild relatives that
saved crop species from diseases and
your examples about coffee, cassava,
sugarcane, banana, etc, was very
informative.

Dr. Nassar,
Thank you for the website on
conservation of plant genetic
resources. I will certainly bookmark
this site. In our view it is
important to point out to
policymakers and the public that
conservation of plant biodiversity
can be enhanced by agricultural
biotechnology.

Dear Dr. Nagib Nassar,
Thank you for your comments we are
very happy about it. We
contacted your web-site and found it
very interesting and useful.
Our next EUCARPIA CONGRESS 2004 is
in TULLN / AUSTRIA. My
institute and EUCARPIA are
organizing it. You may find the
detailed
information on our web-site under
www.eucarpia.org and we are
looking forward to attract as many
members of the scientific
community in the field of plant
breeding as possible to join this
congress. The general topic of this
event form September 8th -
12th,2004 is " GENETIC VARIATION IN
PLANT BREEDING "and in
section I." CURRENT AVAILABILITY AND
USE OF GENETIC
DIVERSITY " you may find some
presentation of your interest....
Again all the best to you
Yours

Dear Professor Nagib Nassar,
I would like to thank you for
sending me this very useful web link
where I have already found many
interesting papers on crop genetic
resources.
I will be delighted to check this
electronic journal (I included the
web address on my bookmark) on a
regular basis.

Dear Nagib
Many thanks for the info about your
excellent site on cassava. I found
it useful, not only for news and
research information, but also for
teaching - I do a course on
agriculture & biotechnology. I hope
that other people will be inspired
to use it as a model for websites on
other crops - especially tropical
crops where information can be
difficult to find.
Best wishes for your future work.

Hello Nagib - very nice presentation!
Congratulations - I am sure you have
set a new standard in genetic
resource publications. Unfortunately,
I work in the temperate crops not
cassava. My interest is in
especially cereals and particularly
landraces (especially wheat) and of
the synthetic hexaploid wheats
developed at CIMMYT. Some of my
current work is looking at phytate
levels in wheat, as a means of
increasing micronutrient
availability in human (monogastric)
diets.
Good luck with the journal - I know
it will have a very positive impact.
Regards.
