About the Book

Based on the 2014 'Enhanced Genepool Utilization ? Capturing wild relative and landrace diversity for crop improvement' conference , in this book a team of international contributors address all aspects of utilization and conservation of crop wild relative (CWR) and landrace (LR) diversity for crop improvement. Focussing on characterisation techniques, conservation strategies, facilitating CWR and LR use and informatics development, this book highlights exotic plant germplasm as a potentially critical but neglected resource for crop improvement.

Table of Contents:
Part I: Breeder's use of exotic germplasm 1: Using phenomics and genomics to unlock landrace and wild relative diversity for crop improvement 2: Pre-domesticating wild relatives as new sources of novel genetic diversity 3: Unravelling quinoa domestication with wild ancestors 4: Screening wild Vigna species and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) landraces for sources of resistance to Striga gesnerioides 5: Wild Lactuca saligna a rich source of variation for lettuce breeding 6: Capturing wild relative and landrace diversity for crop improvement using a new selection tool to exploit genetic resources in durum wheat Part II: Improving access to PGRFA 7: How the Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy (FIGS) is used to mine plant genetic resources collections for adaptive traits 8: Predictive characterization methods for accessing and using CWR diversity 9: Keeping a finger on the pulse: monitoring the use of CWR in crop improvement Part III: CWR conservation 10: Joining up the dots: a systematic perspective of crop wild relative conservation and use 11: Europe’s crop wild relative diversity: from conservation planning to conservation action 12: An approach for in situ gap analysis and conservation planning on a global scale 13: The distributions and ex situ conservation of crop wild relatives: a global approach 14: National strategies for the conservation of crop wild relatives 15: Crop wild relatives, a priority in Jordan? - developing a national strategy for the conservation of plant diversity in Jordan using a participatory approach 16: Establishing systematic crop wild relative conservation within the United Kingdom 17: Optimized site selection for the in situ conservation of forage CWRs: a combination of community and genetic level perspectives 18: Developing a crop wild relative conservation strategy for Finland 19: Developing national crop wild relative in situ conservation strategy for Lithuania: creation of national CWR inventory and its prioritization 20: Priorities for conservation of crop wild relatives at Indian National Genebank 21: Strategies for detecting climate adaptations in the wild pearl millet for future breeding use 22: Assessment of the conservation status of Mesoamerican crop species and their wild relatives in light of climate change Part IV: LR conservation 23: Landrace conservation of maize in Mexico and evolutionary breeding 24: Use of spontaneous sexually-produced new landraces of a vegetatively propagated crop of the Andes (Oxalis tuberosa Mol.) to enhance in situ conservation 25: A long-term systematic monitoring framework for on-farm conserved potato landrace diversity 26: A European in situ (on-farm) conservation and management strategy for landraces 27: Using landraces in agriculture, food and cooking: experiences around a big city in Southern Europe 28: Hungarian strategies for the conservation of crop wild relative and landrace diversity 29: Assessment of Italian landrace density and species richness: useful criteria for developing in situ conservation strategies 30: Chickpea wild relatives and landraces of Georgia 31: Landrace inventories and recommendations for in situ conservation in Finland Part V: Community-based conservation and use 32: Community biodiversity management (CBM): A participatory methodology that integrates empowerment, livelihoods and on-farm management of agrobiodiversity 33: Evolutionary Plant Breeding: A method for rapidly increasing on-farm biodiversity to support sustainable livelihoods in an era of climate change 34: Value chain development: a silver bullet for agrobiodiversity conservation and use? Part VI: PGR conservation and use policy 35: Moving slowly towards the light: a review of efforts to create a global system for PGRFA over the last half century 36: On the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources in Europe: a stakeholder analysis 37: Towards an improved European Plant Germplasm System 38: Impact of the genetic resources policy landscape on food security: an assessment of the Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Rights Programme 39: What do we have to lose?
