Spatial and Temporal Changes in Crop Species Production Diversity in Mexico (1980–2020)
, 2022 Crop species diversity is a key component of agroecosystem resilience, food system stability, ecosystem services production, and sustainable development. Despite its importance, quantitative understanding of crop species diversity is often lacking.

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 ...

CWRML: representing crop wild relative conservation and use data in XML [PDF]
, 2008 Background Crop wild relatives are wild species that are closely related to crops. They are valuable as potential gene donors for crop improvement and may help to ensure food security for the future. However, they are becoming increasingly threatened in

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.

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 ...

Spatial and temporal variation in crop diversity in agroforestry homegardens of southern Ethiopia
, 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.
