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 ...

Socio-agronomic features define the structure of socioecological seed exchange network and “on farm” conservation of agrobiodiversity in quilombola communities in Brazil [PDF]
Journal of Ethnobiology and EthnomedicineBackground Traditional agricultural systems are rooted in the local management, selection, and conservation of agrobiodiversity. Understanding the socioecological dynamics that sustain these systems is essential for developing sustainable practices that ...

The Governance of Agrobiodiversity
, 2019 Agrobiodiversity relates to humans and their environments. It is the result of interactions between humans and nature, and thus is simultaneously social and biological by nature. Without humans, agrobiodiversity would not exist. Seeds, as carriers of major agrobiodiversity components, are not mere material objects that exist outside of social relations:

Rethinking agrobiodiversity for agricultural sustainability
Frontiers in Sustainable Food SystemsAgrobiodiversity is a multi-dimensional concept underlying all sustained agricultural productivity. Agrobiodiversity plays especially important roles in complex multifunctional landscapes that blend smallholder production with remnant forests and semi ...

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.

Functional phenotyping of Agastache germplasm reveals antioxidant–neuroprotective linkages [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Agastache spp. are medicinal and aromatic plants rich in phenolic acids and flavonoid-derived compounds. Among these, representative metabolites such as rosmarinic acid (RA), tilianin (Til), and acacetin (AC) have been widely associated with ...

Ethephon as a bloom-delaying agent for frost-sensitive tree crop flowers at risk from a changing climate [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Climate change increases the risk of late spring frosts, which damage flowers and developing fruitlets in tree crops. Ethephon, a plant growth regulator, may delay flowering and potentially reduce frost damage.

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

Farmer networks and agrobiodiversity interventions: the unintended outcomes of intended change
Ecology and Society, 2021 Agroecosystem strategies to enhance agrobiodiversity can curb many of the negative impacts associated with current food production systems. With rising interest in agrobiodiversity and agroforestry as farming interventions that confer ecological and ...
