Dear Dr. Nassar:
It
was so nice to hear your voice
over phone.
Yes, you have helped me by
providing me with cassava
germplasm for identification of
the excellent cassava breeding
lines produced at IITA. I still
apreciate your kind help in this
regard.

Dear Professor Nassar
Thank you very much for your
electronic journal. I found the
articles to be well written and
well argued.
For your information, I am a
government advisor on genetic
resources, biotechnology and
biodiversity (especially in situ
resources). I sit on several UK
government committees currently
dealing with the future of
agriculture and biotechnology,
and I am also directly involved
in the regulatory system for
GMOs in Britain.
Thanks you again for the
information.
Best wishes

Dear Dr Nassar
The Secretariat of the GCDS is
very familiar with your very
interesting programme and has in
particular followed your reports
on apomictic cassava. Through
the GPGIC your work will be
integrated into the Global
Action Plan. FAO will work with
Dr Alfredo Alves as well as Dr
A. Dixon (IITA) to ensure that
your ideas are taken into
consideration. FAO provides the
Secretariat and Mr Dixon as of
October 2002 is the new Chairman
of the GCDS. Ms Fresco and I
wish you continued success in
your research.
With
best regards,
Mahmoud Solh
Director
Plant Production and Protection
Division

Dear
Nagib,
Thank you for your website. Gene
Conserve looks like a very good
on-line journal. I look forward
to reading it in the future. It
is also nice to have another
option for publishing
manuscripts that deal with
germplasm diversity issues.
Best
regards.

Dear Nagib,
Many thanks for letting me know
of the site - I will let my
ethnobotany
students at the University of
Kent at Canterbury know of its
existence.
Once I reformulate the Global
Diversity Foundation website
(www.globaldiversity.org.uk),
I will make a link to yours
under websites of
ethnobotanical interest.
Best,
Gary
