Towards a definition of a crop wild relative (2006, background): “…food and agriculture it remains important to be able to accurately define the relationship between a crop and its close wild relatives, so that conservationists competing for limited conservation resources may objectively prioritise taxa for study (Kell and Maxted 2003; Meilleur and Hodgkin 2004).”
Biological Diversity in Agriculture and Global Change (2010, background): “Protected area conservation similarly is of increased importance to the conservation and sustainable use of numerous WCR and the wild relatives of domesticated animals (154, 161).”
Patterns and processes in crop domestication: an historical review and quantitative analysis of 203 global food crops. (2012, background): “…base of our major food crops by incorporating new traits from a number of sources with an emphasis on using and conserving the gene pools present in crop wild relatives (Doebley, 1992; Gepts, 1993; Haussmann et al., 2003; Meilleur & Hodgkin, 2004; Brown & Hodgkin, 2007; Sadiki et al., 2007).”
Trends in ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources: a review of global crop and regional conservation strategies (2010, background): “The conservation of CWR is increasingly widely recognized as a high priority (Maxted and Kell 2009; Heywood 2008; Meilleur and Hodgkin 2004; Hammer et al. 2003; Maxted 2003; Jarvis et al. 2003; Maxted et al. 2008a, b; Damiana 2008), and a number of global and regional initiatives focus on…”
The use of wild relatives in crop improvement: a survey of developments over the last 20 years (2007, background): “conservation in situ and ex situ will also increase in importance (Meilleur and Hodgkin 2004).”
Legume Crops Phylogeny and Genetic Diversity for Science and Breeding (2015, background): “…studies identifying where genetic reserves or less formal in situ management activities should be established and their actual implementation, and (b) lack of collaboration between the plant genetic resource and protected area communities (Meilleur and Hodgkin, 2004; Maxted and Kell, 2009).”
Comprehensiveness of conservation of useful wild plants: An operational indicator for biodiversity and sustainable development targets (2019, background): “To more sufficiently conserve these species in situ, the protected areas network will need greater investment and, possibly, expansion (Brooks et al., 2006; Le Saout et al., 2013; Meilleur and Hodgkin, 2004; Newbold et al., 2015; Dinerstein et al., 2017).”
An Inventory of Crop Wild Relatives of the United States (2013, background): “The complementary protection of CWRs in situ is necessary to support the ongoing evolution of CWR populations (Heywood, 2008; Maxted and Kell, 2009; Maxted et al., 1997; Meilleur and Hodgkin, 2004), in both wild areas and traditional agricultural systems (GSPC, 2002; Rawal, 1975; Zizumbo-Villarreal ”
