Trends in ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources: a review of global crop and regional conservation strategies (2010, background): “Wild species related to crops have proved useful to crop improvement as sources of a variety of valuable traits, particularly pest and disease resistance, and tolerance to abiotic stress (Hajjar and Hodgkin 2007; Tanksley and McCouch 1997; FAO 2009b; Meilleur and Hodgkin 2004; Maxted and Kell 2009; ”
The Vulnerability of Plant Genetic Resources Conserved Ex Situ (2017, background): “Additionally, the potential of CWR to enhance modern plant breeding has been recognized (Hajjar and Hodgkin, 2007; Ford-Lloyd et al., 2011) thanks to advances in biotechnology such as genome editing (Bortesi and Fischer, 2015).”
Genetic Gains in Wheat Breeding and Its Role in Feeding the World (2019, background): “Some of the genes which are still effective Sr22, Sr25, Sr26, Sr39, Sr42, Sr45 [45,48].”
Past and Future Use of Wild Relatives in Crop Breeding (2017, background): “While the primary strategy for crop improvement today remains recurrent selection among elite modern varieties, scientists and breeders are increasingly looking to wild species as sources of novel material to widen the genetic bases of crops (Cooper et al., 2001; Hajjar and Hodgkin, 2007; Moore, 201”
European Red List of vascular plants (2011, background): “The contribution of CWR is growing and has largely been through the donation of useful genes coding for pest and disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance and higher nutritional value (Hajjar and Hodgkin 2007).”
Interspecific Hybridization between Eggplant and Wild Relatives from Different Genepools (2016, background): “However, contrary to other important vegetable crops, like tomato (D ıez and Nuez, 2008; Hajjar and Hodgkin, 2007), the use of wild relatives in eggplant breeding has been very limited (Daunay and Hazra, 2012; Rotino et al., 2014), and no commercial cultivars containing introgressions from…”
An Inventory of Crop Wild Relatives of the United States (2013, background): “Gray Downy mildew, rust, verticillium wilt and broomrape resistance (Hajjar and Hodgkin, 2007), fertility restoration”
Introgression of crop alleles into wild or weedy populations (2013, background): “Still, spontaneous and intentional hybridization between WW populations and locally adapted landraces continues to be a source of variation for crop improvement both in formal breeding and in traditionally managed agroecosystems (Hajjar & Hodgkin 2007, Jarvis & Hodgkin 1999).”
Utilization of Sunflower Crop Wild Relatives for Cultivated Sunflower Improvement (2017, background): “org 1095 pleiotropic effects limit the use of genes from CWR (Hajjar and Hodgkin, 2007).”
Potential and limits of exploitation of crop wild relatives for pea, lentil, and chickpea improvement (2020, background): “Conventionally, breeders have used CWR in their breeding schemes typically as sources of resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses (e.g., Hajjar & Hodgkin, 2007).”
