Conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants: problems, progress, and prospects (2016, background): “In situ conservation of whole communities allows us to protect indigenous plants and maintain natural communities, along with their intricate network of relationships [30].”
Genetic erosion in crops: concept, research results and challenges (2009, background): “Although some are convinced that ‘plant breeding is a strong force in the reduction of genetic diversity’ (Gepts, 2006), and view the introduction of modern cultivars as evidence of genetic erosion (Bennett, 1973), it remains unclear to what extent the onset of modern breeding efforts has really…”
Interspecific Hybridization for Brassica Crop Improvement (2019, background): “Growth of plants in the natural environment also allows selection and adaptation to changing environmental conditions and is highly cost effective [182].”
Increasing homogeneity in global food supplies and the implications for food security (2014, background): “The development of sedentary agricultural societies and further rise of modern agriculture is generally considered to have led to a decline in the total number of plant species upon which humans depend for food (19, 20), particularly the wild, semidomesticated, and cultivated vegetables and fruits, ”
Biological Diversity in Agriculture and Global Change (2010, background): “To varying degrees, these centers, such as Centro Internacional para el Mejoramiento de Maı́z y Trigo (CIMMYT) and Centro Internacional para la Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), now specialize in research and implementation of the collected and on-farm conservation of diverse farmer varieties and breeds ”
Efficiency of Plant Breeding (2015, background): “Some of the problems listed in Table 2 have been mentioned earlier by Wien (1987) and Thomas (1987) and, more recently, with specific reference to organic agriculture, by Belicka and Bleidere (2005).”
Predictive Association between Biotic Stress Traits and Eco-Geographic Data for Wheat and Barley Landraces (2011, background): “…variation, much of which is thought to refl ect plant functional variation (Wright and Gaut, 2005), have lead some workers to construct specifi c or thematic collections or use of other approaches (Brown and Spillane, 1999; Gepts, 2006; Dwivedi et al., 2007; Pessoa-Filho et al., 2010; Xu, 2010).”
The Vulnerability of Plant Genetic Resources Conserved Ex Situ (2017, background): “Public awareness campaigns should be strengthened (Gepts, 2006) to demonstrate the risk and vulnerability of losing genetic diversity either held by genebanks or not yet conserved, and to realize the long-term benefit of protecting irreplaceable germplasm.”
Trends in ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources: a review of global crop and regional conservation strategies (2010, background): “Despite rapid advances in molecular techniques and an increasing call for characterization of germplasm based on these tools (Gepts 2006), much still remains to be done in order to complete characterization of collections.”
Reconciling biodiversity conservation and food security: scientific challenges for a new agriculture (2010, background): “Increasing specialization and intensification of production systems has led to reduction in crop and livestock biodiversity, increasing genetic vulnerability and erosion [1,2].”
