It is now well recognized that an appropriate conservation strategy for plant species requires a holistic approach which combines ex situ and in situ conservation techniques in a complementary manner. Selection of appropriate methods should be based on a range of criteria, such as biological natu...

Maintaining food security in the face of human population increase and climate change is one of the critical challenges facing us in the 21st Century. Utilisation of the full range of agrobiodiversity will be a necessary tool in addressing this challenge. In this book a team of international cont...
Forest trees are an important element of the landscape and many have great economic and cultural value, providing and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people, especially in the tropics. Tropical forests are rich in species diversity, but little is known about the biology of many of the t...
