Genomics of crop wild relatives: expanding the gene pool for crop improvement
TL;DR: Genome analysis results in discovery of useful alleles in CWR and identification of regions of the genome in which diversity has been lost in domestication bottlenecks.

Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: A Global Initiative to Collect, Conserve, and Use Crop Wild Relatives
TL;DR: The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change (AAC) project as mentioned in this paper aims to collect and protect the genetic diversity of a portfolio of plants with the characteristics required for adapting the world's most important food crops to climate change.

Back into the Wild – Apply Untapped Genetic Diversity of Wild Relatives for Crop Improvement
TL;DR: This review highlights the significance of crop wild relatives for crop improvement by providing examples of CWRs that have been used to increase biotic and abiotic stress resistance/tolerance and overall yield in various crop species, and discusses the surge of advanced biotechnologies, such as next‐generation sequencing technologies and omics.

TL;DR: Feeding a growing population in a hotter world will require exploiting a far broader range of crop diversity than now, and that means valuing wild genes as mentioned in this paper, which is a difficult task.
