The current state-of-the-art creates a sound basis for the preservation of unique species Cupressus dupreziana provided that targeted effort and care is devoted to the accomplishment of multiplication protocols. This review is to summarize known data on Cupressus dupreziana-specific characteristics, including abiotic stress resistance, and natural reproduction, and estimates the possibilities of ex situ conservation with an emphasis on the cultivation in vitro of this endangered species. As there is only limited information about the cultivation of C. dupreziana in vitro, we have included relevant data on the related species Cupressus sempervirens, where micropropagation techniques are well established, along with other information on species with similar fates and life strategies—Saharan olive Olea europaea subsp. laperrinei and myrtle Myrthus nivellei. The aim of this work is to enhance general understanding and to promote an interest in this relict plant species to contribute to more wide-ranging studies and to increase its chance of preservation. Besides others, reducing the number of species threatened with extinction is an essential and immediate task as high genetic variability of ecosystems is crucial for their stability under changing climatic conditions.

濒临灭绝的撒哈拉柏树（Cupressus dupreziana）：不要让它进入卡戎的船

当前最先进的技术为保护独特的 Cupressus dupreziana 物种奠定了良好的基础，前提是有针对性的努力和关注致力于完成繁殖协议。这篇综述旨在总结有关 Cupressus dupreziana 特定特征的已知数据，包括非生物胁迫抗性和自然繁殖，并估计迁地保护的可能性，重点是这种濒危物种的体外培养。由于关于 C. dupreziana 体外培养的信息有限，我们已经包括了相关物种 Cupressus sempervirens 的相关数据，其中微繁殖技术已经成熟，以及具有相似命运和生活策略的物种的其他信息 - 撒哈拉橄榄油橄榄亚种。laperrinei 和桃金娘 Myrthus nivellei。这项工作的目的是加强对这种孑遗植物物种的普遍理解和兴趣，以促进更广泛的研究并增加其保存的机会。除此之外，减少濒临灭绝的物种数量是一项必不可少且紧迫的任务，因为生态系统的高遗传变异性对于它们在不断变化的气候条件下的稳定性至关重要。
