Defining a Wild Relative

2017
While searching and gathering food along with other materials used from nature (bio-resources) to fulfill human needs, the men collected selectively economically important plants from the wild in the first step. During the beginning of agriculture, centralized growing promoted them.

Gene Introgression from Wild Relatives

2016
Actinidia species are perennial, dioecious plants widely distributed in eastern and southeastern Asia. Their distributions often overlap, and hybridization among species is frequent in sympatric areas, where species, often descended from a common ancestor, share the same ecological niche.

Wild Relatives And Biotechnological Approaches

2007
Wild species of the genus Lens are an important source of genetic variation for breeding lentil varieties adaptable to new environments and tolerant of biotic and abiotic stresses. The wild species are endemic to a wide range of environments and possess many diverse characteristics.

Importance of Crop Wild Relatives

2019
In a plant evolutionary time scale, running to millions of years, with a very constrained genetic bottleneck in the selection of rare mutations for domestication traits (reduced shattering, reduced seed dormancy, and increased seed size) and natural selection under a generally mild environment without frequent extremes, crop diversification during the ...

Crop wild relatives and climate change.

2014
Abstract This chapter provides an analysis of the importance of crop wild relatives (CWR) in plant breeding and the need for their comprehensive conservation. The importance of CWR diversity as a potentially critical resource for future food security is now widely recognized, particularly in the light of climate change and the rapidly ...

Informatics of Wild Relatives of Rice

2018
The wild species of rice are expected to harbour novel beneficial alleles which have been lost from cultivated rice during the process of domestication. This unchecked loss of alleles has made cultivated rice varieties more susceptible to the changing climatic conditions.

Introgression Libraries with Wild Relatives of Crops

2013
The narrowgenetic base of many crops raises concerns about the prospects for continued genetic gains necessary to meeting the increasing demand for agricultural output in an age of climate changes. The development and application of the introgression line (IL) breeding approach was proposed to more efficiently harness the genetic potential stored in ...

Ecosystem Services of Crop Wild Relatives

2019
Agricultural sustainability will, increasingly, in the course of time, depend on using crop wild relatives to combat the ravages of global warming.
