Prioritising in situ conservation of crop resources: a case study of African cowpea (Vigna unguiculata).

Scientific reports - 17 Jun 2014

Moray C, Game E T, Maxted N

Abstract excerpt

Conserving crop wild relatives (CWR) is critical for maintaining food security. However, CWR-focused conservation plans are lacking, and are often based on the entire genus, even though only a few taxa are useful for crop improvement. We used taxonomic and geographic prioritisation to identify the best locations for in situ conservation of the most important (priority) CWR, using African cowpea (Vigna unguiculata...
