The Preservation of Plant Genetic Resources. Experiences with Arabidopsis

’ s Choice Series on Sharing Data and Materials The Preservation of Plant Genetic Resources . Experiences with Arabidopsis 1

The preservation of genetic resources used to support multinational research programs in plant biology requires extensive sharing and curation of information and materials. Each sector of the community has an important role to play, from individual investigators and volunteer coordinators to curators of central databases and public stock centers. When empowered with a sense of responsibility an...

Cryopreservation for preservation of potato genetic resources

Cryopreservation is becoming a very important tool for the long-term storage of plant genetic resources and efficient cryopreservation protocols have been developed for a large number of plant species. Practical procedures, developed using in vitro tissue culture, can be a simple and reliable preservation option of potato genetic resources rather than maintaining by vegetative propagation in ge...

Cryopreservation of Plant Genetic Resources

Plant Genetic Resources: Effective Utilization

Characterizing and better understanding the genome organization and differentiating identity of genotypes based on their morphology and genome characteristics are vital determinants in their commercialization, management of germplasm repositories, and genetic conservation. Morphoagronomic characterization of plants is not always feasible or sometimes labor intensive. Employing chloroplast, mito...
