Conservation genetics applies population genetics tools to understand genetic diversity, gene flow, and evolutionary potential in wild plant populations. For plant science, it is essential for identifying genetically distinct populations, detecting inbreeding depression, and prioritizing which populations or lineages to protect. This knowledge directly informs seed banking, reintroduction programs, and habitat management decisions for rare and endangered plant species.
