Genetic Diversity of Solanum pinnatisectum Dun. and Solanum chacoense Bitt. by Resistance to Potato Virus Y and Results of DNA Analysis
TL;DR: For the first time, representative populations of two diploid tuber-bearing Solanum species were evaluated by the resistance to PVY and the presence of DNA markers linked to the Ry (extreme resistance) or Ny (hypersensitivity) genes localized on the long arm of chromosome 9.

From generalization to pollination syndromes: filtering and dependency on functional-group of pollinators in two cassava wild relatives
TL;DR: A specialized pollination system emerged for the two Manihot species despite the apparent generalist flowers, and the reproductive success relying on groups of abundant pollinators suggests a threatening scenario to cassava wild relatives due to the worldwide decline of insect abundance.

Crop wild relatives in Lebanon: mapping the distribution of Poaceae and Fabaceae priority taxa for conservation planning
TL;DR: In this article , a comprehensive conservation plan for crop wild relatives belonging to Poaceae and Fabaceae in Lebanon is presented, based on their value for world security and local economy, gene pool (primary and secondary) and genome type (A, B and D for Triticum genera).

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.

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.
