The world food supply depends on a diminishing list of plant crops and animal livestock to
not only feed the ever-growing human population but also improve its nutritional state and …

The last decade has witnessed huge technological advances in genomics, particularly in
DNA sequencing. Here, we review the actual and potential application of genomics in …

Crop wild relatives (CWR) intra-and interspecific diversity is essential for crop breeding and
food security. However, intraspecific genetic diversity, which is central given the idiosyncratic …

The study analysed the conservation gaps of the priority crop wild relatives (CWR) taxa for
Malawi in order to contribute to the development of a harmonized conservation strategy that …

Crop wild relatives (CWR) have recently received significant attention due to their value as
plant genetic resources and their contribution to world food security. We present a prioritized …

Phylogenetic diversity (PD) is an important measure for identifying areas of conservation.
Phylogenetic diversity is a robust biodiversity metric because it accounts for the relationships …

To generate European-wide information to contribute to the improvement of national and
regional crop wild relative (CWR) conservation planning and the development of effective …

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are wild plant taxa that have broader genetic diversity than crops
hence they are an excellent source of genes and traits to improve crops. The potential value …

While considered an essential part of the genetic diversity of plants, Crop Wild Relatives
(CWR), are rarely the primary focus of conservation strategies. Despite this, a large portion …

Abstract Crop Wild Relatives (CWR) are wild plant taxa genetically close to a crop. Being a
precious source of genetic variability and of traits for crop improvement, CWR have a high …
