Crop wild relatives in Natura 2000 Network [PDF]

, 2021
This document presents the results of analyses to ascertain the potential of the Natura 2000 network to conserve crop wild relatives (CWR). We obtained distribution data of European priority CWR from large international biodiversity databases and ...

A Crop Wild Relative Inventory for Mexico [PDF]

Crop Science, 2018
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of variation for the genetic improvement of crops. Mexico is an important center of diversity of crops and CWR. However, this diversity is threatened by climate change, habitat degradation, increasing human population, among other factors.

CROP WILD RELATIVES СONSERVATION IN THE CHECHEN REPUBLIC

PROCEEDINGS ON APPLIED BOTANY, GENETICS AND BREEDING, 2018
Background. Plant genetic resources (PGR) conservation is an indispensable condition for ensuring the country's economic and environmental security. The most important component of the PGR status assessment is the study of crop wild relatives in a particular region.

A near-complete genome assembly of Fragaria iinumae

BMC Genomics
Fragaria iinumae, a diploid progenitor species of octoploid strawberries, likely occupies a basal position within the genus Fragaria. In this study, we report a near-complete genome assembly of F.

Fostering in situ conservation of wild relatives of forage crops

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Most plant conservation strategies generally overlook the intra-specific genetic diversity of crop gene pools. Focusing on forage crops and their wild relatives, we present a novel approach to address the conservation of these species on meadows. Two-thirds of Swiss agricultural land is green land, mostly used for forage purposes, and their genetic ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

A fully phased octoploid strawberry genome reveals the evolutionary dynamism of centromeric satellites

Genome Biology
We systematically examine the application of different phasing strategies to decrypt strawberry genome organization and produce a fully phased and accurate reference genome for Fragaria x ananassa cv. “EA78” (2n = 8x = 56).
