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: 10.1534/genetics.119.302757
Abstract: Introgression of alleles from wild relatives has often been adaptive in plant breeding. However, the significance of historical hybridization events in modern breeding is often not clear. Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is among the most important… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2018.00509
Abstract: Wild relatives provide an important source of useful traits in wheat breeding. Wheat and wild relative hybrids have been widely used in breeding programs to introduce such traits into wheat. However, successful introgression is limited… read more here.
