This project supported the use of carrot crop wild relatives for pre-breeding in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Though subtropical cultivars are only 40 years old, carrots are highly valued in warmer…
This project enabled CIAT to build upon its previous data and information systems projects, such as the CWR Occurrence Database and the Crop Wild Relatives Global Atlas. The information will be…
This project supported the evaluation of pre-bred crop wild relatives of sunflower for the development of environmentally resistant sunflower cultivars in Uganda. These wild alleles demonstrate…
This project used wild relatives of eggplant in order to increase the diversity available for breeding, particularly concerning traits that are related to adaptation to climate change. Pre-breeding…

This project established a relationship with RBG Kew, an organization that helps the Crop Trust develop, execute, monitor, and evaluate project activities. For example, Kew assists with the review of…
This project oversaw the collection of 11 high priority species and 21 secondary priority species of wild relatives of wild oat, carrot, barley, grass pea, lentil, apple, alfalfa, garden pea, faba…
This project oversaw the collection of wild oat, carrot, barley, grass pea, apple, alfalfa, pea, wheat, and vetch relatives. Of the 60 taxa targeted by the project, 40 species were collected with 10…
This project used crop wild relatives of lentil to conduct an evaluation of resistance to the three most serious problems in lentil production: fungal infection, parasitic plant infection, and…
This project combined favorable characteristics, such as Blight tolerance and bacterial wilt resistance, and adaptation to climate change from potato crop wild relatives into new potato germplasm.…
