A review of the indigenous coffee resources of Uganda and their potential for coffee sector sustainability and development.
Uganda is a major global coffee exporter and home to key indigenous (wild) coffee resources. A comprehensive survey of Uganda’s wild coffee species was undertaken more than 80 years ago (in 1938) and thus a contemporary evaluation is required, which is provided here. We enumerate four indigenous coffee species for... -

Diversity patterns and conservation of the Vigna spp. in Mozambique: A comprehensive study.
Mozambique supports a high diversity of native legume species, including many Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs). Among them, the still understudied genus is a particularly notable and promising donor of favorable traits for crop improvement. This study aims to provide an updated overview of CWRs diversity in Mozambique, defining a conservation... -

The International Oryza Map Alignment Project (IOMAP): The Americas - Past achievements and future directions.
The wild relatives of rice hold unexplored genetic diversity that can be employed to feed an estimated population of 10 billion by 2050. The Oryza Map Alignment Project (OMAP) initiated in 2003 has provided comprehensive genomic resources for comparative, evolutionary and functional characterization of the wild relatives of rice, facilitating... -

Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change: A Synopsis of Coordinated National Crop Wild Relative Seed Collecting Programs across Five Continents.
The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project set out to improve the diversity, quantity, and accessibility of germplasm collections of crop wild relatives (CWR). Between 2013 and 2018, partners in 25 countries, heirs to the globetrotting legacy of Nikolai Vavilov, undertook seed collecting expeditions targeting CWR of 28 crops of... -

Phylogeography and conservation gaps of Musa balbisiana Colla genetic diversity revealed by microsatellite markers.
Collection and storage of crop wild relative (CWR) germplasm is crucial for preserving species genetic diversity and crop improvement. Nevertheless, much of the genetic variation of CWRs is absent in ex situ collections and detailed passport data are often lacking. Here, we focussed on one of the two main progenitor...Mertens, Arne ; Bawin, Yves ; Vanden Abeele, Samuel ; Kallow, Simon ; Swennen, Rony …
