The Vulnerability of Plant Genetic Resources Conserved Ex Situ (2017, unknown): “Thus, a genebank not only requires essential infrastructure for short- and long-term seed storage, but also the efficient management of germplasm from safety backup to regeneration and characterization, germplasm distribution, and data management (Engels and Visser, 2003).”
Cryopreservation of Phytodiversity: A Critical Appraisal of Theory & Practice (2008, background): “Developing economic models and detailed cost data for genebank operations is important for the effective management of crop germplasm collections (Engels and Visser, 2003).”
Physiology of Desiccation-Sensitive (Recalcitrant) Seeds and the Implications for Cryopreservation (2013, background): “The most costeffective way of storing plant germplasm is in seed collections (Justice and Bass 1978; Engels and Visser 2003), where seeds are stored at low water contents (around 5% wet mass basis) and subzero temperatures ( 18 to 20 C), suitable for orthodox seeds.”
Challenges and Prospects for the Conservation of Crop Genetic Resources in Field Genebanks, in In Vitro Collections and/or in Liquid Nitrogen (2020, methodology): “The propagation of clonal plants in the field is the conventional method for the preservation of genetic material and traditional knowledge of the farming system [26].”
Molecular markers for genebank management (2005, background): “maize), the benefits may not outweigh the costs for the molecular analyses (Engels and Visser 2003).”
