Chapters then explore crop evolution and the potential for crop wild relatives to contribute novel genetic resources to the breeding of more resilient and productive crops. Breeding technologies and biotechnological advances that are being used to incorporate key genetic traits of wild relatives into crop varieties are also covered. There is also a valuable discussion on the importance of conserving genetic resources to ensure continued successful crop production. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A timely resource, \u003ci\u003eCrop Wild Relative and Climate Change \u003c\/i\u003ewill be an invaluable resource for the crop science community for years to come.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShyam S.
