A practical guide that covers both in situ and ex situ techniques
for plant diversity conservation The conservation and sustainable
use of plant genetic resources is of increasing importance
globally. Plant Conservation Genetics addresses this issue by
providing an extensive overview of this emerging area of science,
exploring various practical strategies and the latest technology
for conservation of plant biodiversity. Leading specialists and
experts discuss topics ranging from the science's foundations
through every aspect of plant conservation genetics. This
informative text includes several ex situ (outside of natural
habitat) and in situ (inside of natural habitat) techniques for
plant conservation useful for researchers, educators, and students.
Plant Conservation Genetics first reviews the importance,
opportunities, and numerous advantages of this type of
conservation, then explores various effective ex situ (for specific
species) and in situ (for certain species on up to full ecosystems
and habitats) techniques for conservation. Essential detailed
information is presented on collection strategies, botanic gardens,
DNA banks, biodiversity management, and genetic resources in
seedbanks. Each specialist reveals his or her personal experience
of working in the field, allowing direct experience to illustrate
and provide expert perspective on the key issues of plant
conservation. The book is carefully referenced and includes tables
and figures to enhance clarity of data. Plant Conservation Genetics
topics include: strategies for plant conservation opportunities for
application of plant conservation genetics botanic garden
conservation DNA extraction and storage field genebanks in vitro
techniques cryopreservation germplasm collection and management
collecting missions genetic and biological property rights and
benefit-sharing database and sample management for genebank
collections monitoring and maintaining ecosystems in in situ
conservation habitat fragmentation molecular analysis of plant
genetic resources molecular marker analysis nuclear, mitochondrial,
and chloroplast genome analysis genomics in the management of plant
biodiversity Plant Conservation Genetics is a comprehensive desktop
