Diversity analysis of 80,000 wheat accessions reveals consequences and opportunities of selection footprints

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
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 ...

Mapping of Fire Blight Resistance QTL in the European Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Cultivar ‘Petersbirne’

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yes
"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

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
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 ...

Chemical and morphological diversity of foliar epicuticular waxes in economically important grain crops

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant epicuticular waxes play vital roles in mitigating environmental stressors. This study chemically and morphologically characterises foliar epicuticular waxes across monocot and dicot grain crops, identifying broad inter‐ and intra‐species differences in wax biosynthetic strategies.

In vitro collection of berry and fruit crops and their wild relatives at VIR

open access: yesБиотехнология и селекция растений, 2019
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.

Advances in the Integration of Genomic and Phenomic Tools in Cowpea Breeding for Improving Stress Resilience and Grain Yield and Quality

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.
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.

Development and deployment of a public mid‐density genotyping panel for crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) based on whole‐genome re‐sequencing of diverse germplasm

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
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 ...

A fast and effective method to distinguish cultivated fonio species: conservation and evaluation perspectives

open access: yesGenetic Resources
Plant genetic resources characterization is essential for their conservation and their use in both breeding strategies and adaptation to global change. This is all the more important for species often neglected by research such as fonio. Fonio refers to
