Ecogeography and utility to plant breeding of the crop wild relatives of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Ecogeography and utility to plant breeding of the crop wild relatives of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are a rich source of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Combining ecogeographic and phylogenetic techniques can inform both conservation and breeding. Geographic occurrence, bioclimatic, and biophysical data were used to predict species distributions, range overlap and...
