Defining exceptional species-A conceptual framework to expand and advance ex situ conservation of plant diversity beyond conventional seed banking

Valerie C. Pence et al.

Summary: The multiple and complex risks to plant species survival necessitate the use of both ex situ and in situ conservation strategies. Seed banking is the most efficient method for long-term conservation, but some species cannot be stored this way. Limitations of seed banking include insufficient seed availability, intolerant or short-lived seeds, seeds sensitive to storage, and seeds with complex dormancies. To conserve exceptional species, a multi-disciplinary approach involving cryobiotechnology, seed biology, plant physiology, plant ecology, and horticulture is required alongside living collections. Immediate international action is needed to address the conservation needs of exceptional plant species.

Seed dormancy and germination of the endangered exceptional Hawaiian lobelioid Brighamia rockii

Dustin Wolkis et al.

Summary: The Campanulaceae (Lobelioideae) is the Hawaiian plant family with the most endangered and extinct species, facing challenges in conventional seed banking due to poor seed survival. In this study, the embryonic growth and germination of Brighamia rockii seeds were examined, revealing successful germination in both light and darkness. This research is important for the conservation of this critically endangered species.

Harnessing the power of botanical gardens: Evaluating the costs and resources needed for exceptional plant conservation

Megan Philpott et al.

Summary: The article discusses the resources and strategies required for the conservation of exceptional plants. It suggests that both large and small projects can contribute to exceptional plant conservation for similar costs, and prioritizing species with lower costs can help advance the field.

Genetic rescue reduces mate limitation in a threatened, clonal, and self-incompatible plant species

Nora Gavin-Smyth et al.

Summary: Mate limitation can result in low-to-no seed production in plant populations, impacting their demographic viability. Genetic rescue and mixing source populations are effective strategies to overcome mate limitation, with local genetic rescue showing promising results.
