156) Benefits of increasing plant diversity in sustainable agroecosystems
Recent studies have revealed many potential benefits of increasing plant diversity in natural ecosystems, as well as in agroecosystems and production forests. Plant diversity potentially provides a partial to complete substitute for many costly agricultural inputs. Diversification strategies include...

157) Biobanking of vegetable genetic resources by in vitro conservation and cryopreservation
Today, application of in vitro culture and cryopreservation presents a remarkable strategic tool to support medium- and long-term conservation of plant genetic resources. Over the last 30 years, considerable progress has been made in the development of both methods that are currently considered as ex...
