Germination capacity and viability of threatened species collections in seed banks (2010, background): “2004) and, sometimes, may be the only option for some species (Maunder et al. 1998; Kennedy 2004; Cochrane et al. 2007).”
A framework for incorporating evolutionary genomics into biodiversity conservation and management (2015, background): “In addition, where seed material can be maintained across years, there is an opportunity to capture the genetic variation present at a particular point in time and preserve it for later re-establishment of populations [249,250].”
Quasi in situ: a bridge between ex situ and in situ conservation of plants (2010, background): “Supply of material for reintroduction through ex situ efforts is nowadays viewed as an important task of ex situ conservation (Guerrant and Raven 2003; Cohrane et al. 2007).”
