Genomics of crop wild relatives: expanding the gene pool for crop improvement [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2016 SummaryPlant breeders require access to new genetic diversity to satisfy the demands of a growing human population for more food that can be produced in a variable or changing climate and to deliver the high‐quality food with nutritional and health benefits demanded by consumers.

Reap the crop wild relatives for breeding future crops [PDF]
Trends in Biotechnology, 2022 Crop wild relatives (CWRs) have provided breeders with several 'game-changing' traits or genes that have boosted crop resilience and global agricultural production. Advances in breeding and genomics have accelerated the identification of valuable CWRs for use in crop improvement.

Phylogenetic diversity and conservation of crop wild relatives in Colombia. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2021 AbstractCrop wild relatives (CWR) are an important agricultural resource as they contain genetic traits not found in cultivated species due to localized adaptation to unique environmental and climatic conditions. Phylogenetic diversity (PD) measures the evolutionary relationship of species using the tree of life.

Enhancing the conservation of crop wild relatives in England. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 Humans require resilient, rapidly renewable and sustainable supplies of food and many other plant-derived supplies. However, the combined effects of climate change and population growth compromise the provision of these supplies particularly in respect to global food security.

Crop wild relatives in Vologda Province
Труды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции, 2019 Background. Searching for new sources of genes for cultivated plants in order to increase their productivity, earliness, resistance, etc. is the vital problem of scientific work, since the need of mankind for food has increased in recent years many times.

Crop wild relative conservation: Wild yams are not that wild [PDF]
Biological Conservation, 2017 Abstract Extension of land use has been the main way to increase agricultural production to date. Natural habitats have consequently decreased and became increasingly fragmented, putting high pressure on the wild relatives of main crops. In this study, we assessed the diversity of wild relatives and cultivated varieties of yam, Dioscorea rotundata ,
