“The characterization of Crop Wild Relatives unveiled” is the third video scribing in a series designed and produced by the COUSIN to explore the history, characteristics, and potential of CWRs.
Crop wild relatives are valuable for biodiversity and breeding, and to promote their use in agriculture, systematic characterization is essential.
They are characterized in their natural habitats (𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶) and in controlled environments (𝘦𝘹 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶) to evaluate traits like stress tolerance, pest resistance, yield, and nutrient use. Phenotyping, genotyping, and microbiome analysis provide a complete profile, enabling their effective use to improve crops.
