Winter Wheat in England and Wales, 1923-1995 : What do Indices of Genetic Diversity Reveal? [PDF]
, 2003 Genealogical data have been used very widely to construct indices with which to examine the contribution of plant breeding programmes to the maintenance and enhancement of genetic resources.

Biocultural diversity and crop improvement [PDF]
Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2023 Biocultural diversity is the ever-evolving and irreplaceable sum total of all living organisms inhabiting the Earth. It plays a significant role in sustainable productivity and ecosystem services that benefit humanity and is closely allied with human cultural diversity.

Genetic diversity in a crop metapopulation [PDF]
Heredity, 2009 The need to protect crop genetic resources has sparked a growing interest in the genetic diversity maintained in traditional farming systems worldwide. Although traditional seed management has been proposed as an important determinant of genetic diversity and structure in crops, no models exist that can adequately describe the genetic effects of seed ...

Spatial and temporal variation in crop diversity in agroforestry homegardens of southern Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2010 A key assumption in many homegarden studies is that homegardens are ecologically and socio-economically sustainable due to their species diversity. The precise relation between diversity and sustainability is still heavily debated, however.

Crop genetic erosion: understanding and responding to loss of crop diversity [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2021 SummaryCrop diversity underpins the productivity, resilience and adaptive capacity of agriculture. Loss of this diversity, termed crop genetic erosion, is therefore concerning. While alarms regarding evident declines in crop diversity have been raised for over a century, the magnitude, trajectory, drivers and significance of these losses remain ...

Genetic Dissection of Root System Architectural Traits in Spring Barley
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Breeding new crop cultivars with efficient root systems carries great potential to enhance resource use efficiency and plant adaptation to unstable climates. Here, we evaluated the natural variation of root system architectural traits in a diverse spring

Which Seed Properties Determine the Preferences of Carabid Beetle Seed Predators?
Insects, 2020 Ground beetles are important invertebrate seed predators in temperate agro-ecosystems. However, there is a lack of information regarding which seed properties are important to carabids when they select seeds for consumption.

Crop Diversity for Yield Increase
PLoS ONE, 2009 Las prácticas agrícolas tradicionales sugieren que el cultivo de una mezcla de especies de cultivos en el mismo campo a través de la gestión temporal y espacial puede ser ventajoso para aumentar los rendimientos y prevenir enfermedades, pero la evidencia de las pruebas de campo a gran escala es limitada. El aumento de la diversidad de cultivos a través

Crop Diversity Management System Commons: Revisiting the Role of Genebanks in the Network of Crop Diversity Actors [PDF]
Agronomy, 2021 This paper rethinks the governance of genebanks in a social and political context that has significantly evolved since their establishment. The theoretical basis for the paper is the commons conceptual framework in relation to both seed and plant genetic resources.
