931) Harnessing Crop Wild Diversity for Climate Change Adaptation
Warming and drought are reducing global crop production with a potential to substantially worsen global malnutrition. As with the green revolution in the last century, plant genetics may offer concrete opportunities to increase yield and crop adaptability. However, the rate at which the threat is happening...

935) Explaining the decrease in the genetic diversity of wheat in France over the 20th century
Recent studies indicate that crop diversity in agricultural fields may ensure pest control and yield stability in the face of environmental changes. However, few studies have evaluated crop diversity in the field, especially at the within-species level. Applying a new indicator, HT*, the authors followed...
