Abstract

Despite difficulties involved in precisely quantifying the undeniable economic value of CWR, it can never be underestimated. CWR is a treasure house of genetic material which can provide immense benefits to agriculture when integrated into cultivated crop varieties. CWR species have been used in crop breeding to introduce genes into cultivated varieties to impart traits, such as, drought and frost tolerance, resilience to insect pests and diseases, and, specific abiotic stress like soil acidity and salinity.
