Genomics Strategies for Germplasm Characterization and the Development of Climate Resilient Crops

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Food security requires the development and deployment of crop varieties resilient to climate variation and change. The study of variations in the genome of wild plant populations can be used to guide crop improvement.

A Road Map for Conservation, Use, and Public Engagement around North America's Crop Wild Relatives and Wild Utilized Plants

Crop science, 2019
Crop wild relatives—the plant species closely related to agricultural crops—are valuable genetic resources used by plant breeders to increase pest and disease resistance, stress tolerance, nutritional profile, and other traits critical to productivity ...

Response to wheat dwarf virus in wild and domesticated wheat [PDF]

, 2016
Wild and domesticated plants are constantly exposed to a variety of pathogens, which may trigger an arms race in evolution of defense strategies in the plant and development of virulence in the pathogen.

Spatiotemporal range dynamics and conservation optimization for endangered medicinal plants in the Himalaya

Global Ecology and Conservation
Global climate change threatens the spatiotemporal distribution and resilience of species, especially those in mountainous regions. The Himalaya, a global biodiversity hotspot, harbors one of the richest medicinal plant communities, which are ...

Checklist and prioritization of crop wild relatives in Sudan and South Sudan

Genetic Resources
Crop wild relatives (CWR) encompass wild plant species or subspecies closely related to domesticated crops. This study presents the first comprehensive checklist and prioritized inventory of CWR for Sudan and South Sudan.

Genomic approaches for studying crop evolution

Genome Biology, 2018
Understanding how crop plants evolved from their wild relatives and spread around the world can inform about the origins of agriculture. Here, we review how the rapid development of genomic resources and tools has made it possible to conduct genetic ...

Comparative and phylogenetic analyses of the chloroplast genomes of mangrove plants

Scientific Reports
Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in coastal environment by stabilizing shorelines, reducing erosion, and providing habitat for diverse wildlife. However, there are fewer studies on the genetic management of mangrove plants.
