They are often genetically diverse, locally adapted, and associated with traditional farming systems. Resistance genes to biotic and abiotic stress factors, which are especially diversified in landraces, are of great interest to plant breeders, faced with global climate challenge. In addition, gene pools made of different landraces grown in different ecological conditions can be used for wheat breeding to enhance quality; yield and other desirable agricultural parameters. An estimated 75% of the genetic diversity of crop plants was lost in the last century due to the replacement of high yielding modern varieties. There is, thus, an urgent need to preserve existing species, not only for posterity but also as a means to secure food supply for a rising world population. In this book, we provide an overview of wheat landraces with special attention to genetic diversities, conservation, and utilization. . 410 0$aBiomedical and Life Sciences Series 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aNutrition 606 $aPlant propagation 606 $aAgricultural genome mapping 606 $aBioclimatology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aNutrition 606 $aPlant Domestication 606 $aAgricultural Genetics 606 $aClimate Change Ecology 606 $aBlat$2thub 606 $aGenètica vegetal$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aNutrition. 615 0$aPlant propagation. 615 0$aAgricultural genome mapping. 615 0$aBioclimatology. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aNutrition. 615 24$aPlant Domestication. 615 24$aAgricultural Genetics. 615 24$aClimate Change Ecology. 615 7$aBlat 615 7$aGenètica vegetal 676 $a633.11 702 $aZencirci$b Nusret 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910502670903321 996 $aWheat landraces$92884348 997 $aUNINA
