Patterns and processes in crop domestication: an historical review and quantitative analysis of 203 global food crops. (2012, background): “This diversity can be secured through complementary in situ and ex situ conservation strategies (Fowler & Hodgkin, 2004; Mercer & Perales, 2010; Bellon et al., 2011; Jensen et al., 2012).”
Farmer preferences for milpa diversity and genetically modified maize in Mexico: a latent class approach (2007, unknown): “…and Taylor, 2005).1 Maize landraces found in these systems have the potential to contribute unique traits needed by plant breeders (genetic resistance to certain plant diseases, pests and abiotic stresses) to improve crops, supporting global food security (Fowler and Hodgkin, 2004; Harlan, 1992).”
Trends in ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources: a review of global crop and regional conservation strategies (2010, background): “These constraints are often due to lack of adequate financial support in genebanks, leading to an underinvestment of resources in multiplication and regeneration, or disease eradication (Fowler and Hodgkin 2004).”
The Vulnerability of Plant Genetic Resources Conserved Ex Situ (2017, unknown): “C5: The Challenge to Update Genebank Information Systems Data management systems are essential for germplasm management and utilization (Fowler and Hodgkin, 2004; Qualset and Shands, 2005; FAO, 2010).”
An Inventory of Crop Wild Relatives of the United States (2013, background): “Despite substantial eff orts over these years, the most signifi cant bottleneck in use identifi ed by Harlan—the availability of CWRs for research and breeding—continues to be of concern, with substantial genetic variation yet to be conserved and fi nancial and political constraints still to be reso”
Increasing homogeneity in global food supplies and the implications for food security (2014, background): “Unfortunately, significant gaps remain in the conservation of crop genetic resources (45), and access to this diversity requires improvement (46).”
