Assessing the conservation value of ex situ seed bank collections of endangered wild plants

摘要: In order to achieve certain targets of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), countries should aim have at least 75% their threatened species preserved in ex situ genetically representative collections, preferably country origin, and 20% must be available recovery plans restoration programs (Target 8). Assessing conservation value collections is needed identify gaps gene banks determine baseline situation. Selection target followed Regional Responsibility criterion, as first-order priority local level with highest ranking given whose distribution endemic study area. Data analysis was performed on 85 listed Valencian Catalog Threatened Species (VCTPS) stored Germplasm Bank Collections Flora, Spain. Our results show that an collection will depend w...
