Abstract EN

In the modern era, there is a loss of plant assets at an alarming rate, due to the increase in the population, the degradation of agricultural lands, the exacerbation of global warming, desertification, the spread of diseases and some agricultural practices.

About a third of the global wealth of plant species, or about 100, 000 plant species, has become threatened with extinction, or some of them have already become extinct, and there are reports indicating that a third of the existing diversity will be extinct by the year 2050.

What increases the risk of extinction of these species directly affects biodiversity, if The ence or deficiency of a species or sex of these organisms, the effect of that ence or deficiency in the strength and stability of this biological tissue, which has an important role and a great function in preserving the environment.

In Iraq, the extinction of many local and wild species has been monitored.

Therefore, there is a need to take concrete and urgent measures to preserve the local assets of seeds, especially those whose environment has been changed, such as desert plants, and to monitor production inputs that are inundated with hybrid and genetically modified seeds, chemicals and toxins.
