Seed exchanges, a key to analyze crop diversity dynamics in farmer-led on-farm conservation (2011, background): “Based on a large review, Camacho Villa et al. (2005) proposed a consensus definition, embracing previous conceptions of agrobiodiversity: ‘‘A landrace is a dynamic population(s) of a cultivated plant that has a historical origin, a distinct identity and lacks formal crop improvement, as well as…”
Interspecific Hybridization for Brassica Crop Improvement (2019, background): “In situ conservation is promoted because landraces can be an essential component of indigenous cultures and show highly specialized local adaptations [183,184].”
Evolutionary Plant Breeding in Cereals—Into a New Era (2011, background): “In this sense, CCPs and varietal mixtures are similar to traditional landraces [14,15], which are also populations of cultivated plants.”
More than Yield: Ecosystem Services of Traditional versus Modern Crop Varieties Revisited (2018, background): “In contrast, landraces are “dynamic population(s) of a cultivated plant that has historical origin, distinct identity and lacks formal crop improvement, as well as often being genetically diverse, locally adapted and associated with traditional farming systems” [27].”
Cereal landraces for sustainable agriculture. A review (2010, background): “More recently, Camacho Villa et al. (2005) faced with the challenges this creates for inventory and conservation purposes, proposed the following working definition: “a landrace is a dynamic population(s) of a cultivated plant that has historical origin, distinct identity and lacks formal crop impro”
