Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) variation is being used increasingly to characterize germplasm collections. However, the technique has limitations due to the lack of reproducibility of results under certain conditions. Here we review some of the literature on the factors that are mainly r...

Global conservation priorities for crop wild relatives
Plants are essential sources of food, medicine, shelter, fuel, feed, and forage, and provide a wide range of additional ecosystem and cultural services to humanity. In recognition of the tremendous value of useful plants and of the increasing threats to their persistence, international agreements...

Comprehensiveness of conservation of useful wild plants: An operational indicator for biodiversity and sustainable development targets
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...

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...

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...
