Abstract

It is almost a century back that attempts to use genes from crop wild relatives (CWRs) to improve crop production were initiated. However, it is during the past six to seven decades that the rate of release of cultivars containing genes of wild relatives was exploited in crop breeding programs to impart resistance and/or tolerance to biotic factors such as diseases and pests.
