The project has set a mandate to work on eight neglected and underutilized mountain crops that are nutrient dense, climate resilient, and indigenous to the Nepal Mountains (Table 1). These crops are: amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus, A. caudatus and A. cruentus), barley and naked barley (Hord...

The conservation status of wild Arachis spp. is not well characterized for its maintenance and possible future exploitation for the improvement of cultivated peanut, Arachis hypogaea L. Our objectives were to use 2175 georeferenced observations of wild peanut (Arachis spp.) to assess the conserva...

Biogeography of wild Arachis: Assessing conservation status and setting future priorities
Crop wild relatives (CWR) play a key role in providing genetic diversity for crop adaptation and improvement and their in situ conservation is the most appropriate action to safeguard them, as it allows new diversity to be generated. Knowledge about contemporary evolutionary processes, adaptive r...

Assessing temporal variation in crop wild relative genetic diversity based on past collecting missions
This paper presents an effective method for prioritizing areas within a country for acquisition of germplasm of a crop gene pool for ex situ conservation. The method was applied to the rare wild pepper species, Capsicum flexuosum Sendtn., in south-east Paraguay. A model to prioritize areas for co...

Enhancing the link between in situ conservation and use of crop wild relatives (CWR) in the SADC region to underpin regional food security and mitigate predicted adverse impact of climate change
Background:
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...
