Genetic pool represents the entire genetic variability or diversity available in a crop species. ... Germplasm includes both cultivated and wild species and relatives of crop plants. Germplasm is collected from centres of diversity, gene banks, gene sanctuaries, farmer's fields, markers and seed companies.

gene pool is a narrow concept which includes the genetic material available in a crop species
whereas germplasm is a broad concept which includes in addition to genepool the wild relatives, obsolete cultivars etc .
