The meeting examined the role of field and in vitro germplasm collections in strategies to conserve and use clonally propagated crops, problems and constraints in their management, and the complementarity of field and in vitro germplasm collections. The meeting produced a list of key issues to ad...

Cryopreservation of tropical plant germplasm: Current research progress and applications
Efficient use of coconut genetic resources has been hampered by difficulties in collecting and exchanging germplasm. Because of the size of the nuts and the fact that the nuts have no dormancy period, collecting of coconut seednuts is costly. This method of coconut collecting is expensive, and re...

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...

During the early 1980s, while searching for ways to more fully utilize the techniques of plant biotechnology, IPGRI (the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute, then the International Board of Plant Genetic Resources, IBPGR) suggested that germplasm be collected by means of in vitro meth...

Plant species that are vegetatively propagated, that have long life cycles and/or produce nonorthodox seeds are traditionally maintained in field collections. Maintaining plants in the field is costly and carries high risks of loss; therefore, the strategies and procedures employed to establish a...
