Aim:
To fill critical knowledge gaps with regard to the distributions and conservation status of the wild relatives of chile peppers (Capsicum L.).
Location:
The study covered the potential native ranges of currently recognized wild Capsicum taxa, throughout the Americas.
Methods:
We modelled the...

Modelled distributions and conservation status of the wild relatives of chile peppers (Capsicum L.)
Crop wild relatives are valuable genetic resources for crop improvement. Knowledge gaps, including with regard to taxonomy, distributions, and characterization for traits of interest constrain their use in plant breeding. These deficiencies also affect conservation planning, both with regard to i...

Distributions, conservation status, and abiotic stress tolerance potential of wild cucurbits (Cucurbita L.)
The need to restore natural landscapes impacted by environmental perturbations such as wildfires, and droughts, gave rise to Seeds of Success (SOS), a collaborative effort led by the Bureau of Land Management to collect seed of US wild native species since 2001. These collected native species are...

Seeds of Success: Collateral Benefits to Agricultural Crop Improvement, Research, and Education
The North American crop wild relatives (CWR) of lettuce (Lactuca L.) represent an underexplored pool of genetic diversity of potential value to breeding programs. The 10 species belong to three different groups: a native clade including at least six allotetraploid species [L. biennis (Moench) Fer...

Research Gaps and Challenges in the Conservation and Use of North American Wild Lettuce Germplasm
Crop wild relatives, the wild progenitors and closely related cousins of cultivated plant species, are sources of valuable genetic resources for crop improvement. Persisting gaps in knowledge of taxonomy, distributions, and characterization for traits of interest constrain their expanded use in p...
