Global conservation priorities for crop wild relatives

Nature Plants, 2016
The wild relatives of domesticated crops possess genetic diversity useful for developing more productive, nutritious and resilient crop varieties. However, their conservation status and availability for utilization are a concern, and have not been quantified globally.

CWRML: representing crop wild relative conservation and use data in XML [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 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.

Importance of agriculture for crop wild relatives conservation in Switzerland [PDF]

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Abstract Crop Wild Relatives are a subset of the global plant diversity that is often neglected, as not the primary focus for conservationists or plant breeders. However, a relatively large portion of the wild flora, up to 60% in Switzerland for example, do share genetic relationships with cultivated species and therefore can be ...
