Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are plant taxa closely related to crops
and are a source of high genetic diversity that can help adapt crops to the impacts of global …

Worldwide about one third of all plant species is estimated to be threatened with extinction.
Plants are generally under-represented in conservation. However, the global strategy for …

A broad definition of a crop wild relative is any taxon within the same genus as a crop
species, or in the case of some crop genepools, other closely related genera. Given the …

Conservation biologists have drawn up a range of guidelines for the conservation of genetic
diversity—to maximise the chances that populations of threatened species persist, and to …

The potentially devastating impacts of climate change on crop production and food security
are now widely acknowledged. An important component of efforts to mitigate these impacts …

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are wild species that are more or less genetically related to crops
that can be used to introgress useful genes for improvement of productivity, resistance to …

The cashew, Anacardium occidentale, is a globally important tropical fruit tree, but little is
