<i>Crop Science</i> special issue: Adapting agriculture to climate change: A walk on the wild side Open
Plant domestication and crop improvement have resulted in reduced genetic diversity in most of our cultivated crops, thus limiting their potential to adapt to future challenges (Byrne et al., 2018; Keneni, Bekele, Imtiaz, & Dagne, 2012; Ta…
