Crop Wild Relatives Crosses: Multi-Location Assessment in Durum Wheat, Barley, and Lentil

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are a good source of useful alleles for climate change adaptation. Here, 19 durum wheat, 24 barley, and 24 lentil elites incorporating CWR in their pedigrees were yield tested against commercial checks across 19 environments ...

Potential and limits of exploitation of crop wild relatives for pea, lentil, and chickpea improvement

open access: yes, 2020
Legumes represent the second most important family of crop plants after grasses, accounting for approximately 27% of the world's crop production. Past domestication processes resulted in a high degree of relatedness between modern varieties of crops ...

Optimization of the composition of crop collections for ex situ conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Many crop genetic resources collections have been established without a clearly defined conservation goal or mandate, which has resulted in collections of considerable size, unbalanced composition and high levels of duplication.

A Crop Wild Relative Inventory for Mexico [PDF]

open access: yesCrop Science, 2018
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of variation for the genetic improvement of crops. Mexico is an important center of diversity of crops and CWR. However, this diversity is threatened by climate change, habitat degradation, increasing human population, among other factors.

Allium genetic resources with particular reference to onion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
As in many other crop species, also in Allium crops genetic erosion is taking place. In this mini review the current global state of the art is presented on Allium ex situ genetic resources and more in particular on onion genetic resources.

A fully phased octoploid strawberry genome reveals the evolutionary dynamism of centromeric satellites

open access: yesGenome Biology
We systematically examine the application of different phasing strategies to decrypt strawberry genome organization and produce a fully phased and accurate reference genome for Fragaria x ananassa cv. “EA78” (2n = 8x = 56).
