Records (with and without coordinates) representing germplasm accessions and sightings of the wild relatives of potato. These records were used as input to assess the ex situ conservation urgency of 73 wild relatives of potato
This book is the first to set out a clear overview of CBM as a methodology for meeting socio-environmental changes. CBM is shown to be a key strategy that promotes community resilience, and contributes to the conservation of plant genetic resources. The authors present the underlying concepts and...

Bioversity International has a standing commitment to the long-term conservation of the global banana (Musa spp.) collection held in trust at the Bioversity International Musa Germplasm Transit Centre (ITC) in Leuven, Belgium under the auspices of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (...
The evolutionary history of African savannah tree species is crucial for the management of their genetic resources. In this study, we investigated the phylogeography of Parkia biglobosa and its modeled distribution under past and present climate conditions. This tree species is very valued and wi...

Although community-level seed-saving initiatives have existed in many countries around the world for about 30 years, they have rarely been the subject of systematic scientific enquiry. Based on a combination of a literature review and field research, we present a novel comprehensive conceptual fr...

Governments and conservation organizations have dedicated extensive resources to protect biodiversity, but their conservation strategies have largely been developed under an assumption of a static climate. These strategies may fail with changing climates, especially when combined with existing an...
