- aggregation abstract "Worldwide about one third of all plant species is threatened with extinction. Botanical gardens play a key role in conservation of plant diversity, and as is stated in Target 8 of the GSPC, at least 75 % of threatened plant species should be present in ex situ collections. However, only about 30 % of globally threatened plant species are currently held in living collections. These have to be genetically representative, but information about the genetic diversity present in such collections is scarce, although it is estimated that diversity is low in numerous species. Moreover, besides the many studies and initiatives for specific taxa, our knowledge about genetic diversity of threatened plant species in general is quite restricted. This lack of insight in genetic diversity of threatened plant species heavily contrasts with the broad knowledge about crops and their wild relatives. We still have a long way to go to study genetic diversity in threatened plants, conserve an important part of this diversity in ex situ collections, define which percentage of genetic diversity might be feasible and/or desirable to aim for, and finally make this available for conservation and restoration projects. Within this specific project at Ghent University, we aim to compare genetic diversity between wild populations and ex situ collections of three distantly related Angiosperm groups with different life histories and growth forms. A range of genomic tools (barcoding, microsatellites, AFLP, RAD sequencing) will be applied to wild and ex situ individuals of selected species of the flagship groups Hydrangea, Magnolia and Cactaceae to enable rapid characterization of genetic variation, providing 1) support of specific conservation actions, and 2) general guidelines and a protocol on genetic management for acquiring accessions for ex situ collections, to be used by collectors and botanical gardens worldwide in the framework of achievement of Target 8 of the GSPC.".
