Abstract excerpt
To maintain evolutionary potential, genetic diversity, the raw material upon which natural selection acts, must be conserved. As such, ex situ seed collections remain invaluable repositories of genetic diversity. However, questions remain regarding the degree to which collections preserve genetic diversity. A molecular passport, a genetic record sampled from an individual, geo-referenced maternal seed donor, can...
