The Global Genome Initiative for Gardens (GGI-Gardens) is an international partnership of botanic gardens and arboreta that aims to preserve understand the genomic diversity plants on Earth. GGI-Gardens has organized a collection program focused living collections partner institutions supports preservation herbarium vouchers. Collections made through are deposited in recognized herbaria Biodive...

We demonstrate how native and nonnative plant taxa used as ornamentals in private public urban green spaces can significantly strengthen conservation time of extinctions by expanding the capacity for ex situ living collections raising awareness among professional gardeners collectors. Based on global databases, we document current representation threatened horticulture compared to botanical gar...

The research has conducted a comparative study based on structural analysis of some productivity parameters the new lentil collections. In genotypes have been recorded average genetic variation plant height, number seeds in beans, beans per plant, and 100 weight. It was found that 10.8% studied samples were high-yielding (10943, 10946, 10932, Flip 2011-64, 2011-31), 32.6% moderate-yielding, 56....

It is commonly believed that colonization of early-season cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., by overwintered boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, is concentrated on field margins. However, supporting experimental evidence is not available. In 1999 and 2000, we examined colonization patterns of overwintered boll weevils in Central Texas cotton on the bases of adult collections by a pneu...

Harnessing diversity from germplasm collections is more feasible today because of the development of lower-cost and higher-throughput genotyping methods. However, the cost of phenotyping is still generally high, so efficient methods of sampling and exploiting useful diversity are needed. Genomic selection (GS) has the potential to enhance the use of desirable genetic variation in germplasm coll...
