The magic of crop wild relatives in durum wheat breeding

Year: 2019
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: 24-26 April 2019, Rabat, Morocco. First International Experts Workshop on Pre-breeding Utilizing Crop Wild Relatives (1st PBCWR). Using crop wild relatives (CWR) in crop improvement is much more difficult than breeding with domesticated varieties. Pre-breeding aims to isolate desired genetic traits (e.g. disease resistance) from unadapted material like CWR and introduce them into breeding lines that are more readily crossable with modern, elite varieties.Pre-breeding broadens the elite genepool by re-capturing lost beneficial genetic diversity.
