Ecology and genomics of an important crop wild relative as a prelude to agricultural innovation

Ecology and genomics of an important crop wild relative as a prelude to agricultural innovation

Domestication reduces genetic diversity and constrains crop improvement. Here the authors identify factors that shaped species diversity in the wild progenitors of chickpea, and produce wild introgression populations that increase diversity for breeding by ~100-fold, including traits of agronomic re...
