Genomic predictions to leverage phenotypic data across genebanks
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Genome-wide prediction is a powerful tool in breeding. Initial results suggest that genome-wide approaches are also promising for enhancing the use of the genebank material: predicting the performance of plant genetic resources can unlock their hidden ...

Why Seed Physiology Is Important for Genebanking [PDF]
Plants, 2020 Genebank management is a field in its own right; it is multifaceted, requiring a diverse set of skills and knowledge. Seed physiology is one area that is critical to the successful operation of seed genebanks, requiring understanding of seed quality ...

Scaling up orphan crop research: genebank genetics highlight geographic structure in cultivated cowpea from 10 617 global accessions. [PDF]
Plant JSUMMARY Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. is a dryland legume crop, providing essential food and nutritional security for millions of people across the semi‐arid tropics, in Africa, Asia and Latin America. However, as a typical ‘orphan crop’, cowpea has long remained underrepresented in global genomic research to support crop improvement. Here, we conducted

Genebanks at Risk: Hazard Assessment and Risk Management of National and International Genebanks
Plants, 2023 Genebanks are crucial for safeguarding global crop diversity but are themselves exposed to several risks. However, a scientific basis for identifying, assessing, and managing risks is still lacking. Addressing these research gaps, this study provides risk analysis for three key risk groups: natural hazards, political risks, and financial risks, carried
