Wild Relatives: Boosting Crop Resilience Through Introgression
Received Date: Nov 03, 2025 / Published Date: Nov 28, 2025
Abstract
This compilation of studies explores the critical role of introgression from wild relatives in enhancing the genetic diversity and resilience of cultivated crops. Research across diverse species demonstrates how gene flow from wild progenitors introduces valuable traits, including resistance to diseases, pests, and abiotic stresses, as well as improvements in yield and quality. Genomic technologies are key to identifying and utilizing these genetic resources. The findings underscore the importance of conserving wild germplasm for sustainable agriculture and food security
