The circulation of seed among farmers is central to agrobiodiversity conservation and
dynamics. Agrobiodiversity, the diversity of agricultural systems from genes to varieties and …

Vast germplasm collections are accessible but their use for crop improvement is limited—
efficiently accessing genetic diversity is still a challenge. Molecular markers have clarified …

This paper reviews and discusses how studies on (i) on-farm diversity assessment,(ii)
access to diversity and information,(iii) extent of use of available materials and information …

Large ex situ collections require approaches for sampling manageable amounts of
germplasm for in-depth characterization and use. We present here a large diversity survey in …

A better knowledge of factors organizing crop genetic diversity in situ increases the
efficiency of diversity analyses and conservation strategies, and requires collaboration …

Recent studies investigating the relationship between crop genetic diversity and human
cultural diversity patterns showed that seed exchanges are embedded in farmers' social …

Selection and use of genetically diverse genotypes are key factors in any crop breeding
program to develop cultivars with a broad genetic base. Molecular markers play a major role …

Genetic diversity is a fundamental input for every plant breeding program, genetic resources
conservation, and evolutionary studies. In situ diversity and population genetic structure of …

Abstract Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a flowering plant in the grass family
(Poaceae) characterized by a great genotypic and phenotypic diversity, making it a cereal …

Gene flow between domesticated plants and their wild relatives is one of the major
evolutionary processes acting to shape their structure of genetic diversity. Earlier literature …
