Harnessing Crop Wild Relatives for Crop Improvement

LS: International Journal of Life Sciences, 2017
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are the potential source of novel traits and genetic variation in food crops with narrow genetic base. CWRs include immediate progenitor of crop species and other species of plants which are closer to them in near evolutionary history.

Crop wild relatives and climate change.

2014
Abstract This chapter provides an analysis of the importance of crop wild relatives (CWR) in plant breeding and the need for their comprehensive conservation. The importance of CWR diversity as a potentially critical resource for future food security is now widely recognized, particularly in the light of climate change and the rapidly ...

Importance of Crop Wild Relatives

2019
In a plant evolutionary time scale, running to millions of years, with a very constrained genetic bottleneck in the selection of rare mutations for domestication traits (reduced shattering, reduced seed dormancy, and increased seed size) and natural selection under a generally mild environment without frequent extremes, crop diversification during the ...

Introgression Libraries with Wild Relatives of Crops

2013
The narrowgenetic base of many crops raises concerns about the prospects for continued genetic gains necessary to meeting the increasing demand for agricultural output in an age of climate changes. The development and application of the introgression line (IL) breeding approach was proposed to more efficiently harness the genetic potential stored in ...
