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...

Botanic Garden - Agriculture Research Collaborations around North America’s Crop Wild Relatives and Wild Utilized Plants
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 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...

Distributions and Conservation Status of Carrot Wild Relatives in Tunisia: A Case Study in the Western Mediterranean Basin
Food systems large and small around this planet are changing more quickly and more profoundly than ever before in human history. If the same processes and priorities continue, we can expect more of the same results: the last fifty years of a productionist paradigm have resulted in increased produ...

Agrobiodiversity and Feeding the World: More of the Same Will Result in More of the Same
North America harbors a rich native flora of crop wild relatives—the progenitors and closely related species of domesticated plants—as well as a range of culturally significant wild utilized plants. Despite their current and potential future value, they are rarely prioritized for conservation eff...
