Analysis of Crop Genetic and Germplasm Diversity
(MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023) De Ron, Antonio M.; Rodiño, A. Paula
Plant genetic resources are the basis for the genetic improvement of cultivated plants and future food and feed security. The interactions of plants with their agrosystem, the influence of different cropping systems, and the resistance of crops to biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as the adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions under the current changing conditions, are relevant aspects. Agricultural biodiversity is the diversity of crops and their wild relatives, trees, animals, microbes, and other species relevant to agricultural production. Food and feed biodiversity is crucial to fight malnutrition and diet-related diseases. A diverse diet increases the likelihood of consuming adequate amounts of the full range of nutrients essential to human health. The genetic diversity of several crop species is presented in this publication. This biodiversity was assessed by morphological and agronomical traits and nutritional characters, also including molecular diversity and tolerance/resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses.
