Will a plant germplasm accession conserved in a genebank change genetically over time? [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
The simplified question on the genetic change of a conserved plant germplasm accession over time is raised for a better understanding of the challenging mission of conserving more than 7.4 million germplasm accessions in 2000 genebanks worldwide for ...

Genetic Diversity in Dutch Sheep Breeds. [PDF]

Anim Genet
ABSTRACT The Netherlands has a rich variety of native sheep breeds, most of them at risk or endangered. We studied the distinctiveness of these breeds, their genetic diversity within and between breeds, and how this diversity is shaped by geography, purpose, history and genetic management practices.

Genebank Management Through Microsatellite Markers: A Case Study in Two Italian Peach Germplasm Collections [PDF]

Plants
Two germplasm collections, comprising 1026 peach accessions located in Italy, were analyzed with 12 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. SSR reactions were performed using the multiplex-ready PCR protocol, and 147 alleles were amplified with an average ...
