CROP WILD RELATIVES - Conservation Gaps: cwrdiversity.org/conservation-gaps/ Genebank collections of the crop wild relatives (CWR) of the world’s major crops are incomplete, and the gaps in these collections represent limitations on the options available to researchers and breeders to study and introduce new diversity into their programs. At the same time, many CWR are threatened in the wild by habitat modification, the modernization of agricultural areas, and invasive species, among other factors, and climate change is likely to exacerbate their vulnerability.
