“…Botanical gardens offer the opportunity to investigate the responses of rare species to climate change by measuring their performance in different climates across networks of botanical gardens. For example, one research team planted 35 plant species at five botanical gardens located at different altitudes and climates in Switzerland (Vincent et al ., 2020). Of these species, 24 were locally distributed and rare in Switzerland, while the other 11 species were common.…”

Botanical gardens make unique contributions to climate change research, conservation, and public engagement. They host unique resources, including diverse collections of plant species growing in natural conditions, historical records, and expert staff, and attract large numbers of visitors and volunteers. Networks of botanical gardens spanning biomes and continents can expand the value of these resources. Over the past decade, research at botanical gardens has advanced our understanding of climate change impacts on plant phenology, physiology, anatomy, and conservation. For example, researchers have utilized botanical garden networks to assess anatomical and functional traits associated with phenological responses to climate change. New methods have enhanced the pace and impact of this research, including phylogenetic and comparative methods, and online databases of herbarium specimens and photographs that allow studies to expand geographically, temporally, and taxonomically in scope. Botanical gardens have grown their community and citizen science programs, informing the public about climate change and monitoring plants more intensively than is possible with garden staff alone. Despite these advances, botanical gardens are still underutilized in climate change research. To address this, we review recent progress and describe promising future directions for research and public engagement at botanical gardens.

“…Although cultivated environments may provide advantages for plant performance, species showing poor tolerance to climate change in these more favourable conditions could be even more at risk under the constraints of the natural habitat, for example species with specific germination temperature requirements (Sentinella et al, 2020). Members of the Alliance can share observations or organise custom research programmes to explore the tolerance range and to inform conservation priorities (Vincent et al, 2020). Botanical collections can also be used as indicators of climate change vulnerability even for plants that may not yet be currently threatened.…”

In 2016, the publication of the pioneering Landscape Succession Strategy heralded a horticultural response by Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria to climate change risks faced by their living collections. This initiative led to the botanical world’s first Climate Change Summit in 2018 and the subsequent establishment of the Climate Change Alliance for Botanic Gardens. This article describes some of the anticipated climatic changes facing the Melbourne Gardens site, the strategic management of collections when considering these challenges, and how other botanical organisations can benefit from this approach through collaboration and sharing of expertise.

Abstract. The purpose of the study. The estimation of genetic polymorphism of Kazakhstan populations of rare relict and endemic Allium species. The novelty of the research is the use of the modern molecular genetic iPBS (Inter- Primer Binding Site Polymorphism) method of DNA amplification to assess the genetic diversity of different populations of Allium sp., collected in their natural habitats in the Kazakhstan Altai. Methods. Samples of medicinal relict and endangered species A. ledebourianum, A. altaicum, A. microdiction were collected in the places of their natural growth in the territory of the Kazakhstan Altai. DNA was isolated from 3–5 day sterile seedlings using lysis STAB buffer with RNaseA. PBS primers were used to assess the genetic diversity of different populations of Allium spp. The amplification results obtained using different PBS primers were evaluated in the GenAlex 6.5 macro program for Excel. Results. The polymorphism of 16 genotypes of the rare relict and endangered Allium sp. was analyzed using 7 PBS primers. Clearly distinguishable amplicons were obtained, the number of which varied depending on the primer used. The dendrogram, based on UPGMA analysis, grouped the studied genotypes into 2 main clusters, one of which included samples from the A. altaicum population, and the second cluster included samples from the A. ledebourianum population. A. microdiction represented by one sample did not enter any cluster, and formed a basal branch in the dendrogram. The results of the study have revealed a high degree of iPBS polymorphism and genetic diversity in rare relict and endangered Allium sp. Practical significance. The use of the molecular genetic iPBS method allows to identify a high level of polymorphism, which can serve as a basis for the identification of various genotypes of the Allium sp., which will significantly supplement traditional preservation methods of natural populations of this genus.
