Plant Genebanks: Present Situation and Proposals for Their Improvement. the Case of the Spanish Network [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Genebanks were created by the middle of the twentieth century to preserve cultivated biodiversity when landraces began to be substituted by modern varieties. This move was generally accepted as a necessary step to safeguard the future.

Genomic predictions to leverage phenotypic data across genebanks [PDF]
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 ...
