Main Challenges and Actions Needed to Improve Conservation and Sustainable Use of Our Crop Wild Relatives. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2020 Crop wild relatives (CWR, plural CWRs) are those wild species that are regarded as the ancestors of our cultivated crops. It was only at the end of the last century that they were accorded a high priority for their conservation and, thus, for many ...

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 ,
