Past and Future Use of Wild Relatives in Crop Breeding (2017, background): “When these nondesirable traits are linked to a trait of interest, it is often described as linkage drag (Zamir, 2001).”
An Inventory of Crop Wild Relatives of the United States (2013, background): “Advancements in breeding, particularly through novel molecular approaches, have increased the effi ciency of the use of wild germplasm substantially (Ford-Lloyd et al., 2011; Tanksley and McCouch, 1997; Volk and Richards, 2011; Zamir, 2001).”
Phytochemical diversity: The sounds of silent metabolism (2009, positive): “All cultivated crops originated from wild relatives and many of the original traits present in the progenitors have been lost through crop domestication [54].”
Synthetic Hexaploids: Harnessing Species of the Primary Gene Pool for Wheat Improvement (2013, background): “An IL set represents the complete or nearly complete genome of a wild species in the uniform background of an elite cultivar, where each single line solely contains a single marker-defined segment of the exotic parent (Zamir 2001).”
Engineering Quantitative Trait Variation for Crop Improvement by Genome Editing. (2017, background): “…variation in crops has relied on intercrossing with wild relatives to introduce ‘‘exotic’’ allelic diversity, creating novel alleles by randommutagenesis, and genetic engineering (Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST), 2017; Lundqvist et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2017; Zamir, 2001).”
A golden era—pro-vitamin A enhancement in diverse crops (2011, background): “Despite the existence of informative high-density genetic markers, no QTLs affecting carotenoid accumulation have yet been reported (Zamir 2001).”
Crop Wild Relatives—Undervalued, Underutilized and under Threat? (2011, background): “This has been strongly argued by Zamir (2001), who has made the case for using “exotic genetic libraries,” in the form of wild species, to transfer sets of genes that control quantitative traits (see the discussion of minichromosomes below).”
Marker-Assisted Plant Breeding: Principles and Practices (2015, background): “A set of CSSLs can be considered similar to a genomic library with a huge genome insert in the genetic background of RP and is often referred to as introgression line library (ILL) or exotic genetic library (Eshed and Zamir 1994; Zamir 2001).”
Status and Prospects of Association Mapping in Plants (2008, background): “With regard to exploring natural diversity, advanced backcross QTL (AB-QTL) and introgression library (IL) are well-known strategies for mining alleles from exotic germplasm to improve the productivity, adaptation, quality, and nutritional value of crops (Tanksley and McCouch, 1997; Zamir, 2001).”
Legume Crops Phylogeny and Genetic Diversity for Science and Breeding (2015, background): “The synthesis of exotic libraries, such as introgression lines (IL) or chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSL) and near isogenic lines (NIL), containing chromosome segments defined by molecular markers from wild species in a constant genetic background of the related cultivated species, has mad”
Genetic Diversity in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Its Wild Relatives (2012, background): “The first IL library was developed between S. pennellii and S. lycopersicum (Eshed and Zamir 1995; Zamir 2001).”
