Towards the conservation of crop wild relative diversity in North Africa: checklist, prioritisation and inventory

2018-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are wild species that are more or less genetically related to crops that can be used to introgress useful genes for improvement of productivity, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses and quality of cultivated crops. They are important in crop improvement to achieve food security for an increasing population and to overcome the challenges caused by climate change and the new virulence...
