Unbeknownst to many, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Center for Genetic Preservation holds the genetic make-up of more than 500,000 plant and animal species across the world. "We're one ...

Characterising gene flow and structure at the finest scale within populations is critical to understanding how broader scale genetic patterns are generated. Fine-scale structure promotes the ...

Seed gene bank helps farmers adapt to climate change Global food supply chains under growing pressure Fighting biodiversity loss key to food security CALI, Colombia, Oct 14 (Thomson Reuters Foundation ...

Disturbances such as fire have the potential to remove genetic variation, but seed banks may counter this loss by restoring alleles through a reservoir effect. We used allozyme analysis to ...

Somewhere in Oregon — it's hoped — there is an ash tree genetically inclined to survive a looming existential threat. It would look just like any other Oregon ash, a species now at risk of functional ...
