An effective and efficient avenue for incorporating crop wild relative diversity into modern germplasm is to use wild relative alleles already present in traditional varieties housed in germplasm banks. dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.…

The wild relatives of domesticated plants have genetic diversity that could help crops adapt to #ClimateChange. @jrossibarra @MitchFeldmann @PeterLMorrell &co look at how wild relatives and traditional varieties can be utilized to improve #crops.

I have a piece in The NYT this morning. A Minneapolis suburb hired a Black chief and assistant chief. Over half the department quit. Yet the world didn’t end.
