Cryobiotechnology for the long-term preservation of oak (Quercus sp.) genetic resources.
Oaks (genus Quercus) are dominant and iconic trees in most European, American, Asian and North African forests, from cool temperate to tropical environments. There are at least 600 species of Quercus globally with high ecological and economical importance. However, 45% of the species evaluated by IUCN are considered threatened, being...Ballesteros, D. ; Nebot, A. ; Pritchard, H.

Wild bananas detect forest gaps.
Banana crop wild relatives (CWR) grow in tropical to sub-tropical Asia and Pacific forest. They take advantage of forest disturbances to form patches in the forest or on the edges of cleared land. We investigate the mechanism by which seeds from banana CWRs are able to detect gaps and germinate...Kallow, Simon ; Davies, Rachael ; Janssens, Steven B. ; Vandelook, Filip ; Panis, Bart …

Identifying Novel Features from Specimen Data for the Prediction of Valuable Collection Trips.
Primary biodiversity data provide “what, where, and when” data points: the assertion that a species occurred at a particular point in space and time. These are most valuable when associated with specimens stored in natural history museums and herbaria, which evidence the assertions with reference to a physical specimen. The...Nicolson, Nicky ; Tucker, Allan

Plant name resources: building bridges with users.
Plant names are the key to communicating and managing information about plants. This paper considers how providers of high quality technical plant name information can better meet the requirements non-botanical audiences who also rely on plant names for elements of their work. The International Plant Name Index, World Checklist of... -
