Drying banana seeds for ex situ conservation. [PDF]

Conserv Physiol, 2022
Abstract The ability of seeds to withstand drying is fundamental to ex situ seed conservation but drying responses are not well known for most wild species including crop wild relatives. We look at drying responses of seeds of Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana, the two primary wild relatives of bananas and plantains, using the following

A Critical Review of the Current Global Ex Situ Conservation System for Plant Agrobiodiversity. I. History of the Development of the Global System in the Context of the Political/Legal Framework and Its Major Conservation Components [PDF]

Plants, 2021
The history of ex situ conservation is relatively short, not more than a century old. During the middle of last century, triggered by the realization that genetic erosion was threatening the existing landraces and wild relatives of the major food crops ...

Cryo-Technologies for Ex Situ Conservation of Rosa Germplasm. [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2022
In this study, we compare two rapid cryopreservation (−196 °C) procedures, droplet-vitrification and encapsulation-dehydration for rose (Rosa × hybrida L., cultivars ‘Ioana’, ‘Mariana’, ‘Vulcan’). Significant factors for cryopreservation, such as sucrose concentration during osmoprotection, treatment duration with plant vitrification solution 2 (PVS2 ...

Planning for ex situ conservation in the face of uncertainty [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2015
Abstract Ex situ conservation strategies for threatened species often require long‐term commitment and financial investment to achieve management objectives. We present a framework that considers the decision to adopt ex situ management for a target species as the end point of several linked decisions.

Spatially biased collections and the failure to cover all wild genetic clusters in plant populations under ex situ conservation [PDF]

Plant Diversity
Successful ex situ conservation of plant populations requires a high degree of genetic representativeness. However, spatially biased sampling in ex situ conservation efforts may fail to capture all wild genetic clusters for species with range-wide ...

Potential of Ex Situ Conservation Strains Revealed by Genetic Analysis of Oceanic Islands' Endangered Species Pittosporum parvifolium [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The Ogasawara Islands, representing an oceanic island ecosystem in Japan, have a notably high rate of endemic species akin to other oceanic islands globally. Pittosporum parvifolium is a critically endangered shrub with only four remaining individuals in

Transcriptomic and Metabolic Analyses Elucidate the Metabolomic Variation in Leaf Development of a Calcium-Rich Vegetable (Primulina eburnea)

Agronomy, 2023
Primulina eburnea, a plant with a longstanding history of traditional medicinal use, has emerged as a novel calcium-rich vegetable characterized by a remarkable abundance of soluble and bioavailable calcium within its leaves.

Genetic architecture of microhabitat adaptation traits in a pair of sympatric Primulina species

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2023
Exploring the genetic basis of adaptive divergence at fine spatial scales can broaden our basic understanding of evolution and how organisms may adapt to changing environments in the future.

Genome-wide analysis of the cellulose toolbox of Primulina eburnea, a calcium-rich vegetable

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Human-guided crop domestication has lasted for more than 10,000 years. In terms of the domestication and breeding of vegetables, cellulose content in edible tissues is one of the most important traits. Primulina eburnea is a recently developed

Ex Situ Plant Conservation and Beyond [PDF]

BioScience, 2006
Abstract In recent years, the mission of many botanic gardens and arboreta has expanded from a traditional focus on developing a horticultural collection to one that includes taking a proactive role in plant conservation. To use their limited resources more effectively, many gardens are seeking ways to quantify their contributions to conservation ...
