Crop wild relatives (CWR) are wild plant species that are more or less closely related to domesticated species, include crop progenitors and are a potential source of traits beneficial to our crops. Given their importance for agricultural research and development, their conservation is of high pr...

Core descriptors for in situ conservation of crop wild relatives v.1.
The development of a system for the monitoring of agrobiodiversity in situ or on-farm is of paramount importance for every country and urgently needed. Its importance arises from the fact that by and large the greatest amount (inter- and intra-specific levels) of agrobiodiversity (plants and anim...

International Conference Enhanced Genepool Utilization - Capturing wild relative and landrace diversity for crop improvement, Cambridge, United Kingdom, 16-20 June 2014. Book of Abstracts
The world's food basket is today shrinking at an alarming rate and most concerning is the reduction in the number of species and varieties used by humankind for food and nutrition, which raises serious concerns about the sustainability of feeding the world today and in the future. Yet, whereas we...
