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

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

Plant Divers
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 ...

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 (Basel), 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 ...

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

Ecol Evol
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

Ex-situ and in-situ conservation of wild life

World Journal of Biology Pharmacy and Health Sciences
Wildlife conservation is essential for maintaining ecological balance, providing economic benefits, supporting scientific research, and preserving cultural heritage. Both in-situ and ex-situ conservation methods are critical for protecting biodiversity and ensuring the sustainable use of natural resources.

In Situ and Ex Situ Conservation of Coconut Genetic Resources [PDF]

, 2020
In situ conservation of coconut germplasm refers to the maintenance of coconut genetic diversity in the agroecosystems where it has evolved. Ex situ conservation comprises all coconut germplasm currently maintained as living trees in field genebanks, screen houses, and elsewhere beyond their host agroecosystems.

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

Characterization and Potential of Coelogyne rochussenii Orchids from Bukit Rimbang and Bukit Baling Wildlife Sanctuary as Explant Source

Jurnal Sylva Lestari, 2021
Conservation is an effort to return natural resources to their habitat to restore the ecosystem balance, which can be done in-situ and ex-situ. Coelogyne rochussenii orchid conservation efforts are essential to maintain its sustainability. The purpose of
