Do such studies exist? That is, ones for which management actions were actually altered by genomic data? Will be fun to see if > zero.

NEED ADVICE! Please suggest an online video > 10 min long about value of @CropWildRelativ es (and landraces?) in crop improvement for grad-level class on Crop Evolution. There are plenty of short ones, but I want something substantial. @Botanical_ @ucbclear @ASPB
