Crop Wild Relatives and Climate Change – gives an overview of the impacts of climate change on growing environments and the challenges that agricultural production faces in coming years and decades. It explores the potential for crop wild relatives to contribute novel genetic resources to the bre...
The wild relatives of crops represent a major source of valuable traits for crop improvement. These resources are threatened by habitat destruction, land use changes, and other factors, requiring their urgent collection and long-term availability for research and breeding from ex situ collections...

A prioritized crop wild relative inventory to help underpin global food security
Research into the origins of food plants has led to the recognition that specific geographical regions around the world have been of particular importance to the development of agricultural crops. Yet the relative contributions of these different regions in the context of current food systems hav...

Origins of food crops connect countries worldwide
The impact of climate change is causing challenges for the agricultural production and food systems. More nutritious and climate resilient crop varieties are required, but lack of available and accessible trait diversity is limiting crop improvement. Crop wild relatives (CWR) are the wild cousins...

Modeling of crop wild relative species identifies areas globally for in situ conservation
The narrowing of diversity in crop species contributing to the world’s food supplies has been considered a potential threat to food security. However, changes in this diversity have not been quantified globally. We assess trends over the past 50 y in the richness, abundance, and composition of cr...
