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.

Genebank Peer Reviews: A powerful tool to improve genebank quality and promote collaboration
Genetic ResourcesThe conservation of plant genetic resources (PGR) is critical to ensuring global food security and agricultural sustainability. Genebanks play a vital role in ex situ conservation, complementing in situ strategies by preserving crop diversity (incl ...
