Genetic Diversity, Conservation, and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources
Genes, 2023 Plant genetic resources (PGRs) are the total hereditary material, which includes all the alleles of various genes, present in a crop species and its wild relatives. They are a major resource that humans depend on to increase farming resilience and profit.

Role of genomics in promoting the utilization of plant genetic resources in genebanks
Briefings in Functional Genomics, 2018 Global efforts have seen the world’s plant genetic resources (PGRs) conserved in about 1625 germ plasm repositories. Utility of these resources is important in increasing the resilience and productivity of agricultural production systems.

Improving the use of plant genetic resources to sustain breeding programs’ efficiency
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023 Significance The increase and stability of crop production call for further genetic progress. To maintain it, breeders need to preserve genetic diversity in their programs, although it is depleted by the selection.

Introducing Beneficial Alleles from Plant Genetic Resources into the Wheat Germplasm
Biology, 2021 Simple Summary Many crops including wheat have a narrow genetic base after hundreds of years of breeding and selection. This makes it difficult to breed new varieties with increased yields to feed the growing global population, and with stronger ...
