This study provides insights in patterns of distribution of abiotic and biotic stress resilience
across Vigna gene pools to enhance the use and conservation of these genetic resources …

In this paper, we discuss stress-adapted wild Vigna plants and several important Vigna
crops. Seeds, young shoots and/or tubers of many wild Vigna species are edible and are …

Though crossing wild relatives to modern cultivars is a usual means to introduce alleles of
stress tolerance, an alternative is de novo domesticating wild species that are already …

Harnessing plant genetic resources including wild plants enables exploitation of
agronomically unfavorable lands to secure food in the future. The genus Vigna, family …

Wild relatives of crop plants are thought as reservoir of prominent genetic resources for
abiotic stress tolerance. However, insufficient information on genetic variation and …

The genus Vigna, with about 100 species, includes eight species domesticated in Africa and
Asia; many other species in the genus are cultivated or gathered for various uses. The …

Global climatic change combined with population growth is imposing a huge pressure on
demand for agronomic resources. These effects are major threats for food security having a …

Background As our world becomes warmer, agriculture is increasingly impacted by rising
soil salinity and understanding plant adaptation to salt stress can help enable effective crop …

The pantropical genus Vigna (Leguminosae) comprises 7 cultivated species that are
adapted to a wide range of extreme agroclimatic conditions. Few data are available on the …

Breeding salt tolerant plants is difficult without utilizing a diversity of wild crop relatives.
Since the genus Vigna (family Fabaceae) is comprised of many wild relatives adapted to …
