Mapping agrobiodiversity in Europe: Different indicators, different priority areas
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Agriculture plays a dual role in the conservation of European biodiversity, as extensive agricultural lands provide habitats for more than half of Europe's species, but intensification and abandonment of farmland threaten these species' habitats ...

Agrobiodiversity Index scores show agrobiodiversity is underutilized in national food systems [PDF]
Nature Food, 2021 The diversity of plants, animals and microorganisms that directly or indirectly support food and agriculture is critical to achieving healthy diets and agroecosystems. Here we present the Agrobiodiversity Index (based on 22 indicators), which provides a monitoring framework and informs food systems policy.

Agrobiodiversity-Based Landscape Design in Urban Areas. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2023 Agrobiodiversity represents a system of biological organisms that contribute to agri-food production. In a context marked by a significant loss of food-relevant species and a reduction in their genetic diversity, the adoption of strategies to preserve ...

Evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure of wheat core collection using SNP and KASP markers for major agronomic traits [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Wheat is one of the most important food crops worldwide. Numerous studies have shown that genetic diversity lost the process of wheat breeding because of the pursuit of earlier heading date and higher yield.

Targeted elimination of latent endophytes improves cryopreservation success in in vitro grapevine (Vitis vinifera) cultures [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Latent endophytic bacteria are common in grapevine in vitro cultures and, while not always causing visible culture decline, can negatively affect downstream applications such as cryopreservation by reducing post-thaw recovery. While antibiotic
