Exploitation of epigenetic variation of crop wild relatives for crop improvement and agrobiodiversity preservation

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Genetics, 2022
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are recognized as the best potential source of traits for crop improvement. However, successful crop improvement using CWR relies on identifying variation in genes controlling desired traits in plant germplasms and subsequently
