The document discusses germplasm conservation, including both ex situ and in situ methods. Ex situ conservation involves maintaining genetic resources outside their natural habitat, such as in seed banks, field gene banks, DNA banks, botanical gardens, and through in vitro and cryopreservation methods. In situ conservation preserves species in their natural environments through biosphere reserves, national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and on-farm conservation. Cryopreservation is described as a method to bring plant cells and tissues to a zero metabolism state through freezing at very low temperatures in liquid nitrogen.

Genetic material of plants which is of value as a resource for present and future generations of people is referred to as plant genetic resources.
The whole library of different alleles of a species or sum total of genes in a species is known as gene pool, also called germplasm, genetic stock and genetic resources.
The term gene pool was coined by Dobzhansky in 1951.
The term germplasm was first used by Weismann in 1883.

A genetic preservation serves as an insurance policy for breeders and owners of valuable cattle by enabling them to extend and develop a specific bloodline when additional production is needed or untimely losses or reproductive inabilities occur.
Gene Banks are a type of bio-repository which preserve genetic material.
A collection of seed plants, tissue cultures etc. from potentially useful species , especially species containing genes of significance to the breeding of crops.
Fish genetic material in a 'gene bank' is preserved at -196° Celsius in Liquid Nitrogen as mature seed (dry) or tissue (meristems).
Gene banks exist to conserve the genetic diversity of wild and domesticated organisms that humans depend on for food, fibre, medicine & energy.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

2. Germplasm Conservation
The germplasm has to be maintained in such a state
that there is minimum risk for its loss
• Plant germplasm is genetic source material in the
form of seeds, cultured cells, pollens, callus
• The in situ / ex-situ preservation of these material
is known as “Germplasm Conservation’’
3. Factors that Effect Genetic Recourses !
• Deforestation
• Urbanization
• Pollution
• Habitat destruction
• Fragmentation and degradation
• Climate change
• Globalization
• Market economies
• Over-grazing and changes in
land-use pattern are contributing
indirectly to the loss of diversity
4. To improve the effectiveness of sustainable management
and conservation of biodiversity through adequate
conservation, use and handling of genetic resources.
Conservation of plant genetic resources is necessary for
food security and agro-biodiversity
Biodiversity provides a valuable source of compounds to
the medical, food and crop protection industries.
Genetic diversity provides options to develop through
selection and breeding of new and more productive
crops, resistant to biological and environmental stresses.
Why Conservation?
5.
6. Types of Conservation
• Short term (Working Collections)
(>3-5 years) at 10-15 ℃ at 10% moisture
• Medium Term (Active Collections)
10-15 year at temperature 15 ℃ 5% moisture
• Long Term (Base Collections)
50 years more stored about -20 ℃ with 5%
moisture content
7. Ex Situ Conservation
• Ex situ means away from the natural, original place
or position. Ex situ conservation which include
conservation of plants and animal away from their
native ecosystem
Ex situ conservation is the conservation of genes or
plant genotypes outside their environment of natural
occurrence, for current or for future use.
8. Types of Ex Situ Conservation
1) Gene Bank
• Gene bank refers to a place or organization where
germplasm can be conserved in living state
• Gene banks are mainly three types
a) Seed Gene bank
b) Field Gene bank
c) Meristem Gene bank
Seed Gene Bank
• A place where germplasm is conserved in the form of
seeds is called seed bank
9. Field Gene Bank
• Field gene banks also called plant gene bank are area
of land in which germplasm collections of growing
plants are assembled
• It is also called ex-situ conservation of germplasm
Meristem Gene Bank
• Germ plasm of asexually propagating species can be
conserved in the form of meristems
• It is used in conservation of horticultural crops
10. 2) DNA Bank
• Where DNA can be stored as extracted uncut genomic DNA
Such efforts have lead to storage of total genomic
information of germplasm in the form of DNA libraries
3) Pollen Bank
• Pollen can be preserved in limited space
• Pollen preservation may be useful for base collections of
species that do not produce orthodox seeds
4) Botanical Garden
• Globally more than 1,700 botanical gardens and institutions
holding plant collections that serve both conservation and
educational purposes
• Botanical garden and zoos are the conventional methods of
ex situ conservation like,
• Lahore Botanical Garden,
• Quaid-i-Azam University Botanical
Garden, Islamabad,
• Royal botanical Garden, kew England
11. In Situ Conservation
• In situ conservation is the preservation of species and
populations of living organisms in a natural state in
the habitat where they naturally occur
• Types of In situ Conservation
1) Biosphere Reserves
2) National Parks
3) On Farm Conservation
4) Wild Life Sanctuaries
12. 1) Biosphere Reserves
Biosphere reserves or natural reserves are multipurpose
protected areas with boundaries circumscribed by
legislation.
The main aim of biosphere reserve is:
To preserve genetic diversity in representative
ecosystems by protecting wild animals, traditional life
style of inhabitant and domesticated plant/animal genetic
resources.
13. • The concept of Biosphere Reserves was launched in
1975 as a, part of UNESCO’s ‘Man and Biosphere
Programme, dealing with the conservation of
ecosystems and the genetic resources contained
therein.
• Biospheres Reserves in Pakistan
1. Lal Suhanra, 1977
2. Ziarat Juniper Forest, 2013
14. 2. National Parks
• National parks defined as:
• “An area , declared by state, for the purpose
of protecting, propagating or developing
wildlife there in, or its natural environment
for their scienctific, educational and
recreational value’’
15. • Deosai National Park
• Chitral National Park
• Khunjerab National Park
16. 3. Wildlife Sanctuary
• Wildlife sanctuaries are areas dedicated to the
protection and maintenance of wildlife
• These areas are protected and managed for a variety
of reasons including:
Scientific research
Wilderness protection
Preservation of species and Genetic diversity
Maintenance of environmental services
Protection of specific natural and cultural
features
Tourism and sustainable use of natural
resources
17. 4. On-farm conservation
“A form of in situ conservation in the place where the
domesticated or cultivated species have developed their
distinctive properties”
Maintenance of
domesticates such as
landraces or local crop
varieties in farmers fields
often referred to as on-farm
conservation
18.
19. In Vitro Method For Germplasm
Conservation
• In vitro conservation is the conservation of tissues,
cells, genomes and genes under controlled
environmental conditions
• In vitro method employing shoots, meristems and
embryos are ideally suited for the conservation of
germplasm
20. Advantages
• Large quantities of material
can be preserved in small
space
• Germplasm preserved can
be maintained in an
environment free from
pathogens
• It can be protected against
the nature’s hazards
• From the germplasm stock
large number of plants can
be obtained whenever
needed
21. Methods For the In Vitro Conservation of
Germplasm
Cropreservation
• generally involves storage in liquid nitrogen
Cold storage
• it involves storage in low and non freezing
temperature.
Low –pressure
• involves partially reducing the atmospheric
pressure of surrounding
low oxygen storage
• it involves reducing the oxygen level but
maintaining the pressure
22. Cryopreservation
“Cryopreservation (Greek,krayos-frost) literally means
in the frozen state’’
The principle involved in cryopreservation is to bring the plant
cells and tissue cultures to a zero metabolism or non-dividing state
by reducing the temperature in the presence of cryoprotectants
Cryopreservation broadly means the storage
of germplasm at very low temperature
• Over solid carbon dioxide (at 79°C)
• Low temperature deep freezer (at -80°C)
• In liquid nitrogen (at -196°C)
23. Mechanism of Cryopreservation
• The technique of freeze preservation is based on the
transfer of water present in the cells from a liquid to solid
state
• Due to the presence of salts and organic molecules in the
cells, the cell water requires much more lower
temperature to freeze(even up to -68°C) compared to the
freezing point of pure water (around 0°C)
• When stored at low temperature, the metabolic processes
and biological deteriorations in the cells/tissues almost
come to standstill
24. Mechanism of cryopreservation
involves following steps
• Selection of material
• Addition of cryoprotectant
• Freezing
• Storage in liquid nitrogen
• Thawing
• Washing and reculturing
• Measurement of viability
• Regeneration of plants
25.
26. 1. Selection of Material
• Selection of plant species and the tissue with
particular references to the morphological and
physiological characters largely influences the ability
of the explants to survive in cryopreservation.
• Any tissue from a plant can be used for
cryopreservation
For example,
Meristems,embryos,endosperm,ovules,
seeds, culture plants.
27. 2. Addition of Cryoprotectant
• Cryoprotectant are the compound that can prevent the
damage caused to cells by freezing or thawing
• There are several cryoprotectants which include:
• Dmso
• Glycerol
• Ethylene
• Propylene Sucrose
• Mannose
• Glucose
28. 3.Freezing
• Sensitivity of the cells to low temperature is
visible and largely depends on the plant species
• Four different types of freezing are used
1. Slow freezing method
2. Rapid freezing method
3. Stepwise freezing method
4. Dry freezing method
29. 4. Storage
• Maintenance of the frozen cultures at the specific
temperature is as important as freezing
• Frozen cells/tissues are kept for storage at
temperature in the range of -72 to-196°C
• Storage is ideally done in liquid nitrogen refrigerator
at 150°C in the vapour phase or at -196°C in the
liquid phase
30. 5. Thawing
• Carried out by plunging the frozen sample in ampoules into the
warm water (temp 35-45°C) bath with vigorous swirling
• By this approach, rapid thawing (at the rate of 500- 750°C min-
1) occurs, and this protects the cell from the damaging
• As the thawing occurs (ice completely melts) the ampoules are
quickly transferred to a water bath at temperature 20-25°C
31. 6. Reculture
• In general thawed germplasm is washed
several times to remove cryoprotectant
• Material is then cultured in a fresh media
32. 7. Plant Regeneration
• Purpose of cryopreservation of germplasm is to
regenerate the desired plant for appropriate plant
growth and regeneration, the cryopreserved cell /
tissue have to be carefully nursed and grown
• Addition of certain growth promoting substances,
besides maintenance of appropriate environmental
conditions often necessary for successful plant
regeneration
33. Applications
• Ideal method for long term conservation of
material
• Disease free plants can be conserved and
propagated
• Recalcitrant seeds can be maintained for long time
• Endangered species can be maintained
• Pollens can be maintained to increase longitivity
• Rare germplasm and other genetic manipulations
can be stored
