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.

Conservation without nature: the trouble with in situ versus ex situ conservation

Geoforum, 2014
Abstract Although understudied in academia and mostly unheard of by the general public, the in situ / ex situ dichotomy has shaped—and still very much shapes—the development of the nature conservation movement and its institutional alliances in the last few decades.

A review of the advances and perspectives in sequencing technologies for analysing plant epigenetic responses to abiotic stress

Plant Stress
Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, heat, and cold constrain plant growth and productivity by influence plant internal regulatory networks. Transcriptional/epigenetic regulation, which encompasses mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone ...

Complementarities of two existing intermediate conservation approaches

Plant Diversity, 2017
The need for integration of ex situ and in situ approaches in conservation of plants has long been recognized. However, ex situ collections have numerous limitations that reduce their utility for conservation, necessitating the introduction of new, more ...

The E3 ubiquitin ligase RHB1A and the transcription factor GRF1 form a regulatory module that orchestrates the trade-off between photosynthetic growth and salt tolerance in poplar

Plant Communications
Salt stress imposes a major constraint on plant growth and prompts plants to suppress growth-related processes, including photosynthesis, to prioritize stress defense and survival.

Coriolopsis strumosa as an Orchid Endophytic Fungus and Its Spatial Distribution in Epidendrum sp. (Orchidaceae)

Microorganisms
Coriolopsis spp. are wood-decaying fungi that inhabit forests. They are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. Strain Epi910 was isolated from the asymbiotically germinated protocorm of Epidendrum sp. and identified as Coriolopsis strumosa.
