Gotta slim down my luggage. So even though I'm desperate for more printed materials to read in English (that aren't airport novels), I gotta look up the possible PDF equivalents for the brochures and booklets I picked up at the EFI Mediterranean Network conference.

Alright everyone, with a slight delay, here is my first paper as first author ! Might also be the last one lol.
Thanks a lot to everyone involved, and especially to Jochen who supervised this work. 🫶

"The research group Genomics of Genetic Resources (GGR) research focus is on small grain cereal genome analysis including aspects of structural, comparative and epigenomics mainly in the context of pan-genome datasets of several domesticated and wild small grain cereal species. Our group is part of the IPK Genebank Department, hence we take advantage on the vast crop diversity represented in IPK`s genebank."

M&E framework for sustainable PGRFA conservation in genebanks

"The conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) is essential for global food and nutrition security, climate resilience and sustainable agriculture. This study presents a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework applied across 20 countries in the Global South to assess the state of ex situ PGRFA conservation."

10. There are no named cultivars nor indeed carob trees remaining in USDA germplasm repositories today. (As badly as USDA funding and organization has been attacked in the last decade, this was the case even prior to that.)

This page of US National Plant Germplasm System database results shows that they used to hold these, but they are no longer available. #Botany #PlantScience #Science #Carob #USDA #USpol #GeneBanks

Global Crop Diversity Summit held 14 November 2023 in Berlin, Germany

"Stakeholders from around the world gathered to reflect on the current state and future role of agrifood systems in the face interlinked global challenges such as the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, food insecurity, malnutrition, and conflicts. Discussions centered on the role of gene banks, including seed banks, in preserving and restoring crop diversity, with participants reflecting on pathways towards enhanced international cooperation for gene banks and their sustainable funding."
