This project facilitated the expansion of the genetic diversity of wheat though the use wheat crop wild relatives. Introgressions from wild hexaploid wheat were transferred into durum wheat,…
This project organized the optimal and systematic use of biotic and abiotic stress resistance traits identified in sweet potato wild germplasm to generate better-adapted parental stocks for future…
This project oversaw the phenotyping in chickpea's wild progenitor species for climate resilience. Since the cultivated crop has narrow genetic and phenotypic diversity, introducing new, wild sources…
Though pearl millet is a cross pollinated crop and thus has a wide natural genetic diversity, the benefits of gene assemblies available for biotic and abiotic tolerances in wild backgrounds have not…
This project facilitated the collection of crop wild relatives in Malaysia. Seeds were conserved ex situ by MARDI genebanks, and duplicates were sent to Kew's Millennium Seed Bank.
This project oversaw the development of a web portal for the distribution of data from sunflower and rice projects that concern their respective crop wild relatives. The project will help specify the…
This project supported the collection of crop wild relatives in Nigeria. These included 10 accessions of finger millet, 24 accessions of rice, 45 accessions of eggplant, 10 accessions of sorghum, 19…
This project aimed to render the genetic variation contained in wild sorghum more usable. To do so, the Australian public sorghum pre-breeding team developed back-cross populations with wild sorghum…
This project evaluated wild relatives of alfalfa for drought stress tolerance collected from primary (Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan) and secondary centers (Chiles, Peru, Bolivia). This trait will be of…
