Genebanks hold comprehensive collections of wild species, wild relatives, and landraces that are useful for genetic improvement. Here, the authors report the genotype of nearly 80,000 wheat accessions using DArTseq technology to show the less explored ...

ABSTRACT The breeding of pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars that meet market requirements and are at the same time resistant to fire blight is a challenging task beacuse appropriate resistance donors are scarce. To identify valuable resistance sources, phenotypic screening and genetic characterization are indispensable.

International exchange of genetic resources, the role of information and implications for ownership: the case of the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System [PDF]
"Changing perceptions of resource ownership have altered international exchange of genetic resources. After summarizing the role of genebanks and issues related to property regimes, this paper presents an empirical study of one of the largest national ...

Mobilization, conservation and study of cultivated and wild potato genetic resources
Nowadays, the world’s largest Potato Genebanks, including VIR Potato Genebank, hold about 98 thousand accessions of potato and its wild relatives. This gene pool, which has been accumulated for almost a century, represents a huge genetic diversity of ...

M&E framework for sustainable PGRFA conservation in genebanks [PDF]
The conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) is essential for global food and nutrition security, climate resilience and sustainable agriculture.

In vitro collection of berry and fruit crops and their wild relatives at VIR
Background. The problem of ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources (PGR) is particularly relevant due to the decreasing of their genetic diversity. Accessions of vegetatively propagated crops are usually preserved in field genebanks.

ABSTRACT Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a multi‐use crop highly valued as a food crop, high‐protein fodder, and sustainable cover crop. Yet, it remains underused, and yields in most growing regions are below the crop's potential due to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses.

Abstract Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) is an obligately outcrossing, cool‐season annual legume valued for forage and cover cropping, yet genomic resources to support systematic improvement are limited. We performed the first whole‐genome re‐sequencing of global crimson clover germplasm to (i) develop a public mid‐density enrichment capture ...
