Detecting major introgressions in wheat and their putative origins using coverage analysis
Scientific Reports, 2022 Introgressions from crop wild relatives (CWRs) have been used to introduce beneficial traits into cultivated plants. Introgressions have traditionally been detected using cytological methods.

Accessing genetic diversity for crop improvement [PDF]
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2010 Vast germplasm collections are accessible but their use for crop improvement is limited-efficiently accessing genetic diversity is still a challenge. Molecular markers have clarified the structure of genetic diversity in a broad range of crops. Recent developments have made whole-genome surveys and gene-targeted surveys possible, shedding light on ...

Genebanks and market participation: evidence from groundnut farmers in Malawi
CABI Agriculture and Bioscience, 2022 Background Genebanks contribute to poverty reduction as well as food and nutritional security by being one of the main sources of diversity for the development of improved crop varieties. While the welfare implications of adopting improved varieties have

EVOLUTION OF DIVERSITY OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES CROPS [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2015 We will answer only to a part of the session title (Horticulture and biodiversity: contribution to its loss, conservation or increase?) which includes the impact of the cultivars and cultivation methods on the biodiversity. Our presentation will focus on the diversity of fruits and vegetables crops in Europe at the species, cultigroup and cultivar ...

Movement Patterns of Carabid Beetles Between Heterogenous Crop and Noncrop Habitats [PDF]
, 2018 Habitats adjacent to crop fields can increase natural enemy populations by providing additional food, shelter and overwintering sites. While many studies have focused on the role of non-crop borders for supporting natural enemies, here we investigate the

Cross-species optimization of nuclei isolation in ten plant species
Plant MethodsSingle-cell technologies are transforming plant biology, yet broadly transferable nuclei isolation remains a key bottleneck for snRNA-seq. We developed a reproducible, cost-efficient Percoll-based workflow that is applicable to multiple maize tissues and

Potential, attainable, and current levels of global crop diversity
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 High levels of crop species diversity are considered beneficial. However, increasing diversity might be difficult because of environmental constraints and the reliance on a few major crops for most food supply.
