“The characterization of Crop Wild Relatives unveiled” is the third video in a series designed and produced by the COUSIN to explore the history, characteristics, and potential of CWRs.
How does breeding improve living organisms through domestication, crossbreeding, and selection, and why are the traits of crop wild relatives increasingly important in a changing climate? The video answers these questions and explains the role of pre-breeding for CWRs, shows how modern techniques make the process faster and more efficient, and explains what a participatory plant breeding program is.
Subtitles available in English, Italian, French, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish.
