Super-Pangenome by Integrating the Wild Side of a Species for Accelerated Crop Improvement
Aamir W. Khan,Aamir W. Khan,Vanika Garg,Manish Roorkiwal,Agnieszka A. Golicz,David Edwards,Rajeev K. Varshney +6 more
TL;DR: This opinion article focuses on recent developments in crop pangenomics, the need for a super-pangenome that should include wild species, and its application for crop improvement.

Introgressiomics: a new approach for using crop wild relatives in breeding for adaptation to climate change
Jaime Prohens,Pietro Gramazio,Mariola Plazas,Hannes Dempewolf,Benjamin Kilian,María José Díez,Ana Fita,Francisco Javier Herraiz,Adrián Rodríguez-Burruezo,Salvador Soler,Sandra Knapp,Santiago Vilanova +11 more
TL;DR: It is hoped that the proposed introgressiomics approach will contribute to the development of a new generation of cultivars with dramatically improved yield and performance that may allow coping with the environmental changes caused by climate change while at the same time contributing to a more efficient and sustainable agriculture.

Rieseberg,Paul C. Struik +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the degree to which countries use crops from regions of diversity other than their own (foreign crops) and quantify changes in this usage over the past 50 years was quantified.

Prioritizing Climate Change Adaptation Needs for Food Security in 2030
David B. Lobell,David B. Lobell,Marshall Burke,Claudia Tebaldi,Michael D. Mastrandrea,Walter P. Falcon,Rosamond L. Naylor +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate South Asia and Southern Africa as two regions that, without sufficient adaptation measures, will likely suffer negative impacts on several crops that are important to large food-insecure human populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global food security under climate change
TL;DR: It is found that of the four main elements of food security, i.e., availability, stability, utilization, and access, only the first is routinely addressed in simulation studies, indicating the potential for further negative impacts beyond those currently assessed with models.

Toward a rational classification of cultivated plants
Jack R. Harlan,J. M. J. de Wet +1 more
TL;DR: An attempt is made to provide a framework in which both taxonomy and infraspecific classification can operate with a minimum of confusion.
