Description

As the global population is projected to exceed 10 billion by 2050, the pressure on agricultural scientists to increase crop productivity is growing. Meeting these rising food demands requires innovative approaches to genetic improvement. This volume addresses the challenges faced by plant breeders who often struggle with the unavailability or inaccessibility of appropriate gene pools containing desired traits. Many of the essential genes needed for crop advancement reside within the wild genetic relatives of current crop species. This book focuses on the exploration and characterization of these wild genetic resources. By understanding these diverse gene pools, researchers can better navigate the formidable task of developing more resilient and productive crops for a growing world. This text serves as a vital resource for those studying biological sciences and sustainable development through biodiversity.
