The role of orphan crops in the transition to nutritional quality-oriented crop improvement
Biotechnology Advances, 2023 Micronutrient malnutrition is a persisting problem threatening global human health. Biofortification via metabolic engineering has been proposed as a cost-effective and short-term means to alleviate this burden. There has been a recent rise in the recognition of potential that underutilized, orphan crops can hold in decreasing malnutrition concerns ...

Orphan Crops and their Wild Relatives in the Genomic Era
Molecular Plant, 2021More than half of the calories consumed by humans are provided by three major cereal crops (rice, maize, and wheat). Orphan crops are usually well adapted to low-input agricultural conditions, and they not only play vital roles in local areas but can also contribute to food and nutritional needs worldwide.

African Orphan Crops Consortium (AOCC): status of developing genomic resources for African orphan crops [PDF]
Planta, 2019 The African Orphan Crops Consortium (AOCC) successfully initiated the ambitious genome sequencing project of 101 African orphan crops/trees with 6 genomes sequenced, 6 near completion, and 20 currently in progress. Addressing stunting, malnutrition, and hidden hunger through nutritious, economic, and resilient agri-food system is one of the major ...

Orphan crops for future food security
Journal of Biosciences, 2020 Climate change, along with current agricultural practices, is going to pose a significant challenge for future food security, especially in developing countries. Orphan crops can help mitigate this threat due to their inherent properties of stress tolerance and nutrition content.

Orphan crops at the food for future conference
Planta, 2019In her 1929 essay A Room of One's Own, Virginia Wolf famously wrote, "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." While this popular quote is perhaps not the most inspiring, it is an elegant reminder that food and the cultural practices surrounding food are paramount for our wellbeing.

Delivering Seeds of ‘Orphan’ Crops
Outlook on Agriculture, 2009This paper examines the performance of the Indian seed system with reference to high-volume, low-value seed crops, using case studies of potato and groundnut. For both crops, traditional sources of seed meet more than two-thirds of the total demand and the rest is met by the organized sector, mainly public seed agencies.

Modernising breeding for orphan crops: tools, methodologies, and beyond
Planta, 2019In spite of the limited investment in orphan crops, access to new technologies such as bioinformatics and low-cost genotyping opens new doors to modernise their breeding effectively. Innovation in plant breeding is imperative to meet the world's growing demand for staple food and feed crops, and orphan crops can play a significant role in increasing ...
