CWR US Presentation ASA/CSSA/SSSA Tampa 2013
The document discusses the distributions and conservation concerns for crop wild relatives (CWR) in the United States, emphasizing their importance to major crops and ecosystems. It presents an inventory of 4,600 taxa, highlighting 219 species as high priorities for collection due to gaps in their distribution across states. Furthermore, it underscores the need for global collaboration to protect these vital genetic resources in the context of climate change and agricultural sustainability.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Thank you for comingHonor to have the opportunity to present some results to this communityCollaboration between national agencies, international research centers and academic institutionsReinforce two points then ask a question
- #3 CWR of the US are no exception- many cases of use in breedingPhylloxera resistance grapes from N. American wild grape rootstockEnglish walnut rootstock- JuglanshindsiiCWR native to the US are related to a sizable list of crops of significant importance to US agriculture
- #4 Habitat degradation, urbanization, pollution, invasive species, climate changeFederally listed Endangered:Okeechobee gourd (FL),Scrub plum (FL), Texas wild rice (TX)Federally listed Threatened:Pecos sunflower (NM, TX)
- #5 Native and introduced species (12% of inventory) includedClosely and distantly related CWR includedAvailable as a download from GRIN website, and will be incorporated into GRIN interactive site eventuallyNecessary to prioritize
