Genetic Diversity, Conservation, and Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources
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.

Improving the use of plant genetic resources to sustain breeding programs’ efficiency
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
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 ...
