The potential of seedbank digital information in plant conservation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Seedbanks are vital for biodiversity conservation, but their potential remains underutilised due to a limited understanding of the intraspecific genetic diversity they hold. By leveraging digitised data associated with seedbank collections, such as sampling locations, number of maternal plants and seed traits, we can attempt the estimation of genetic ...

Assessing the evolutionary distinctiveness of a highly threatened plant group: The urgency to preserve a unique lineage of evolution in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

Diversidade

Revista da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, 2016
A diversidade constitui um atributo fundamental da sociedade e condição básica de reprodução da vida de forma geral. Nas humanidades, assiste-se na atualidade a uma frutífera emergência de estudos e abordagens que rivilegiam a pluralidade, a diferença como direito básico, a percepção e o conhecimento do outro. São também crescentes as formas de resgate

Epistemic diversity and the politics of knowledge in plant disease management: Insights from the Xylella fastidiosa epidemic in southern Italy

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Xylella fastidiosa is a major plant pathogen affecting crops such as grapes, citrus, almonds, and olives, with potentially severe consequences for agricultural production and rural livelihoods worldwide. This paper examines the conflict around the management of the X. fastidiosa outbreak affecting olive trees in southern Italy.

The role of abiotic factors modulating the plant-microbe-soil interactions: toward sustainable agriculture. A review

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2017
Microbial soil communities are active players in the biogeochemical cycles, impacting soil fertility and interacting with aboveground organisms. Although soil microbial diversity has been studied in good detail, the factors that modulate its structure ...

A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

Diversidade

Rumores, 2008
Dentre estas reverberações, compareceu o elogio à multiplicidade, enquanto representativa de diferenciados nichos, enfim, instalou-se a defesa da diversidade, enquanto princípio. Até a filosofia, desde a segunda metade do século passado, dedicou-se à diversidade, na forma da diferença ou dos devires.
