Supporting in situ conservation of the genetic diversity of crop wild relatives using genomic technologies. [PDF]

Mol Ecol, 2022
The last decade has witnessed huge technological advances in genomics, particularly in DNA sequencing. Here, we review the actual and potential application of genomics in supporting in situ conservation of crop wild relatives (CWRs).

Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs) Threatened and Endemic to Italy: Urgent Actions for Protection and Use. [PDF]

Biology (Basel), 2022
Simple Summary Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are wild plants with an indirect use derived from their relatively close genetic relationship to a crop and have contributed to crop domestication for millennia.

Incorporating evolutionary and threat processes into crop wild relatives conservation. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2022
Biodiversity conservation calls for spatial explicit approaches to maximize the representation and persistence of genetic diversity given species’ idiosyncratic threats in mosaic landscapes, but conservation planning methodologies seldom account for this.

Blueprints for sustainable plant production through the utilization of crop wild relatives and their microbiomes. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Conserving crop wild relatives (CWR) in their natural environments, together with the complex communities of microorganisms that live with them, could lay the foundation to unlock novel mechanisms for crop resilience and new strategies for achieving food

Phylogenetic diversity and conservation of crop wild relatives in Colombia. [PDF]

Evol Appl, 2021
Crop 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.

Genetic diversity and structure of Musa balbisiana populations in Vietnam and its implications for the conservation of banana crop wild relatives. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2021
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are an indispensable source of alleles to improve desired traits in related crops. While knowledge on the genetic diversity of CWR can facilitate breeding and conservation strategies, it has poorly been assessed.

Crop wild relatives of the United States require urgent conservation action. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020
Significance This study provides conservation assessments for 600 US native plants that are wild relatives of important agricultural crops. We found that more than one-half of the species may be endangered in their natural habitats, and that the great ...

The Mating System of the Wild-to-Domesticated Complex of Gossypium hirsutum L. Is Mixed [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The domestication syndrome of many plants includes changes in their mating systems. The evolution of the latter is shaped by ecological and genetic factors that are particular to an area.

Water stress resilient cereal crops: Lessons from wild relatives [PDF]

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, 2022
AbstractCereal crops are significant contributors to global diets. As climate change disrupts weather patterns and wreaks havoc on crops, the need for generating stress‐resilient, high‐yielding varieties is more urgent than ever. One extremely promising avenue in this regard is to exploit the tremendous genetic diversity expressed by the wild ancestors
