Broadening the Base, Narrowing the Task: Prioritizing Crop Wild Relative Taxa for Conservation Action

2017-05-01

Abstract excerpt

A broad definition of a crop wild relative is any taxon within the same genus as a crop species, or in the case of some crop genepools, other closely related genera. Given the large number of species cultivated for human and animal food, and medicinal, ornamental, environmental, and industrial purposes, the number of taxa related to these crops is inevitably vast, one estimate being >58,000 species globally.
