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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

Plant conservation in situ and ex situ in Ukraine

Інтродукція Рослин, 2015
Ukraine is characterized by high diversity of wild flora. Flora of Ukraine is one of the richest in Europe and includes 4523 species of vascular plants. Ukraine occupies 5.7 % of area of Europe and it contains 37 % of European vascular plants. 9 % of species of vascular plants of Ukraine are endemics. There are 611 species of vascular plants in the Red

Keeping All the PIECES: Phylogenetically Informed Ex Situ Conservation of Endangered Species.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Ex situ conservation in germplasm and living collections is a major focus of global plant conservation strategies. Prioritizing species for ex situ collection is a necessary component of this effort for which sound strategies are needed.
