DArTseq Genotypic and Phenotypic Diversity of Barley Landraces Originating from Different Countries
Landraces are considered a key element of agrobiodiversity because of their high variability and adaptation to local environmental conditions, but at the same time, they represent a breeding potential hidden in gene banks that has not yet been fully ...

Genetic resources: the basis for sustainable and competitive plant breeding [PDF]
Plant genetic resources are the fuel for breeding, which in the search for higher yield and adapted genotypes, manipulates genes in order to meet the needs of farmers, and especially, of the current market.

Development of In vitro Slow Growth Culture for Yam (Dioscorea alata L.)
Germplasm collections, the lifeblood of breeding programs, are traditionally maintained in the field. Field genebanks are expensive, subject to genetic erosion, and require several quarantine measures for safe movement of genetic materials.

Preservation of fish male germplasm in Poland
The natural resources of a country, including ichthyofauna, constitute a vital aspect of its national heritage. Fish populations are threatened with loss of biodiversity as a result of human activity (anthropopressure), resulting in water pollution ...
