This book contains 42 chapters focusing on the various aspects of the utilization and conservation of crop wild relative (CWR) and landrace (LR) diversity as a basis for crop improvement and future food security. Information on the various characterization techniques, conservation strategies, facilitating CWR and LR use and informatics development are also presented.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Breeders' use of exotic germplasm -- Improving access to PGRFA -- CWR conservation -- LR conservation -- Community-based conservation and use -- PGR conservation and use policy -- Conservation informatics.
