The work summarizes both state-of-the-art knowledge and research gaps related to gene flow and introgression between crops and their wild relatives. The information is based on a comprehensive review of the relevant scientific and technical literature. It emphasizes gene transfer from GM crops to...

Genetic resources of tomatoes and wild relatives. A global report
Predictive characterization methods use ecogeographical and climatic data derived from the specific location of a collecting or observation site, to predict characteristics of accessions and populations that can inform conservation and use options. The predictive characterization methods presente...
Los parientes silvestres de los cultivos (PSC) se pueden definir como plantas silvestres más o menos relacionadas con un cultivo. Los PSC representan un recurso genético vital para el fitomejoramiento de variedades nuevas mejoradas, que se necesitan para mantener y aumentar la productividad de nu...

Parientes silvestres de los cultivos: Manual para la conservación in situ
This atlas describes the ecogeographic distribution of wild potatoes. They occur solely in the Americas, from the southwestern United States to central Argentina and Chile. To help the nonspecialist to understand the past and future changes in their classification, we first discuss the habitats, ...
An ecogeographic study of Vicia subgenus Vicia is presented. This group contains the cultivated vetches and their wild relatives. The subgenus contains 9 sections, 9 series, 38 species and 36 subspecific taxa. Ecogeographic data were recorded for each taxon throughout the geographical range of th...
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...
Neglected and underutilized species (NUS) are those to which little attention is paid or which are entirely ignored by agricultural researchers, plant breeders and policymakers1. Typically, NUS are not traded as commodities. They are wild or semi-domesticated varieties and non-timber forest speci...

Fighting poverty, hunger and malnutrition with neglected and underutilized species: needs, challenges and the way forward
This publication deals with the enumeration of 778 species of underutilized and less known minor food plants grown in different regions of Asia-Pacific. Information presented has been classified under use-based categories such as cereals/pseudocereals, grain legumes/pulses, roots, tubers, vegetab...
