Genetic Diversity, Conservation, and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources

open access: yesGenes, 2023
Plant genetic resources (PGRs) are the total hereditary material, which includes all the alleles of various genes, present in a crop species and its wild relatives. They are a major resource that humans depend on to increase farming resilience and profit.

Evolving spatial conservation prioritization with intraspecific genetic data

open access: yesTrends in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Spatial conservation prioritization (SCP) is a planning framework used to identify new conservation areas on the basis of the spatial distribution of species, ecosystems, and their services to human societies.

The long‐standing significance of genetic diversity in conservation

Molecular Ecology, 2021
Since allozymes were first used to assess genetic diversity in the 1960s and 1970s, biologists have attempted to characterize gene pools and conserve the diversity observed in domestic crops, livestock, zoos and (more recently) natural populations ...

Conservation genetics

Current Biology, 2021
Natural populations currently face a wide variety of threats including climate change, habitat loss, over-harvesting, invasive species and disease. The most recent report by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) found that ecosystems have declined by approximately 50% relative to historical ...

Where's the Conservation in Conservation Genetics?

Conservation Biology, 2008
The molecular techniques for producing the type and quantity of data required for conservation studies are now available, and the number of statistical methods applicable to such genetic data is constantly growing. We propose two clear objectives critical to ensconcing conservation genetics as a mature and indispensable discipline: the regular and ...

The expansion of conservation genetics

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2004
The 'crisis discipline' of conservation biology has voraciously incorporated many technologies to speed up and increase the accuracy of conservation decision-making. Genetic approaches to characterizing endangered species or areas that contain endangered species are prime examples of this. Technical advances in areas such as high-throughput sequencing,

Genomics and conservation genetics

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006
In large part, the relevance of genetics to conservation rests on the premise that neutral marker variation in populations reflects levels of detrimental and adaptive genetic variation. Despite its prominence, this tenet has been difficult to evaluate, until now.
