Genetic diversity assessment of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) accessions using single nucleotide polymorphism markers

TL;DR: Private alleles identified in the sorghum accessions from National Center for Genetic Resources and Biotechnology, Ibadan, Nigeria and International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, Kano, Nigeria shows their prospect for sorghums improvement and discovery of new agronomic traits.

Collecting European land-races and development of European gene banks-historical remarks

TL;DR: At present, efforts are being made by the EUCARPIA Gene Bank Committee and the FAO/UNDP/IBPGR European Cooperative Programme for Crop Genetic Resources to establish relations of close co-operation between the European national (and regional) gene banks and their networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Introgression as a Spatial Phenomenon

TL;DR: A model is outlined showing how hybridization between a crop and wild relative may increase invasiveness, particularly in productive habitats, as well as allowing for hybrid fitness, temporal change, and real world habitat mosaics.

Genetic evaluation of domestication-related traits in rice: implications for the archaeobotany of rice origins

TL;DR: Several genetic changes are reviewed and the importance of evaluating these traits in the wild rice genetic background to understand the process of rice domestication is discussed and a phenotypic evaluation of domestication-related traits is provided.
