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

New Frontiers in Potato Breeding: Tinkering with Reproductive Genes and Apomixis [PDF]
BiomoleculesPotato is the most important non-cereal crop worldwide, and, yet, genetic gains in potato have been traditionally delayed by the crop’s biology, mostly the genetic heterozygosity of autotetraploid cultivars and the intricacies of the reproductive system.
