Ex situ PLANT GERMPLASM CONSERVATION REVISED AT THE LIGHT OF MECHANISMS AND METHODS OF GENETICS [PDF]
Plant genetic resources for food and agriculture are ex situ conserved in germplasm banks as samples (accessions) of natural or naturalized populations, either as the originally sampled propagules (mainly seeds) or their multiplications.

Methodological proposal for the characterization of accessions in Germplasm Banks using Generalized Procrustes Analysis applied to incomplete but connected trials [PDF]
Characterization of plant material conserved in germplasm banks allows the study and analysis of the genetic variability within a collection. When germplasm banks have a large number of accessions, field evaluation should be performed using assays ...

How many species change names in a germplasm bank? Study of the Anhembi Experimental Station eucalypt germplasm bank and practical implications [PDF]
ABSTRACT Eucalypts are a long-cycle crop that have been introduced in Brazil during several decades. The germplasm banks of the country make available several populations whose botanical classifications are somewhat outdated since these classifications have been subject to several modifications over the years.

Establishment of a Wisent (Bison bonasus) Germplasm Bank [PDF]
The wisent, or European bison (Bison bonasus), belongs to the same family (Bovidae) as the American bison and domestic cattle. The wisent is the largest mammal in Europe, and is called the “Forest Emperor”. The wisent is listed as “Vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List, and is protected by international law.

BRAZILIAN CASHEW GERMPLASM BANK [PDF]
The cashew germplasm bank located in Pacajus, Ceara State, Brazil, holds 621 accessions, most of which belong to Anacardium occidentale. Introduction of plants into the germplasm bank started in the 1950s. Nowadays, the main goals of the cashew germplasm bank is to document and conserve plant material, which can then be used to enrich the available ...
