Crop wild relative conservation: Wild yams are not that wild
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.05.001
Abstract: Abstract Extension of land use has been the main way to increase agricultural production to date. Natural habitats have consequently decreased and became increasingly fragmented, putting high pressure on the wild relatives of main crops.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-10596-4
Abstract: It is essential to assess environmental impact of transgene flow from genetically engineered crops to their wild or weedy relatives before commercialization. Measuring comparative trials of fitness in the transgene-flow-resulted hybrids plays the key role… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyad027
Abstract: Abstract Adaptive genetic diversity in crop wild relatives (CWRs) can be exploited to develop improved crops with higher yield and resilience if phylogenetic relationships between crops and their CWRs are resolved. This further allows accurate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14462
Abstract: The rhizosphere influence on the soil microbiome and function of crop wild progenitors (CWPs) remains virtually unknown, despite its relevance to develop microbiome-oriented tools in sustainable agriculture. Here, we quantified the rhizosphere influence-a comparison between… read more here.
