TL;DR: The application of indicators of phenotypic and geographic diversity as effective criteria for selecting promising genebank accessions for multiple uses from crop centers of diversity was demonstrated, with Capsicum as model crop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harnessing Crop Wild Diversity for Climate Change Adaptation.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the major bottlenecks to capture and utilize novel sources of variation in abiotic stress (i.e., heat and drought) tolerance, and advocate for a trans-disciplinary approach with open-source data and long-term funding.

TL;DR: The results show the importance of preserving CWR in situ and demonstrate the great potential of CWR for rapid discovery of causal genes relevant for crop improvement, and open the path to improvement of resistance towards rhizomania.

Are We Getting Better at Using Wild Potato Species in Light of New Tools
TL;DR: Effectively using the genetic diversity in wild relatives of potato is likely to rely heavily on alternative methods of potato breeding, augmenting reassortment, and selection at the tetraploid level with diploid breeding and genetic modification using biotechnology.

Exploring the genetic and adaptive diversity of a pan-Mediterranean crop wild relative: narrow-leafed lupin.
Mahsa Mousavi-Derazmahalleh,Philipp E. Bayer,Bruno Nevado,Bhavna Hurgobin,Dmitry A. Filatov,Andrzej Kilian,Lars G. Kamphuis,Lars G. Kamphuis,Karam B. Singh,Karam B. Singh,Jens Berger,Jens Berger,James K. Hane,David Edwards,William Erskine,Matthew N. Nelson,Matthew N. Nelson +16 more
TL;DR: This first pan-Mediterranean analysis of genetic diversity in wild narrow-leafed lupin revealed strong East–West genetic differentiation of populations, an historic eastward migration, and signatures of genetic adaptation to climatic variables.

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.
