Which crop biodiversity is used by the food industry throughout the world? Domestication through clandestine cultivation constrained genetic diversity in magic mushrooms relative to naturalized populations. A first evidence for legume species. Mainly soy, alas. But documenting knowledge will be key in either case.

This rule will disproportionally stifle innovation by publicly supported federal and academic plant breeders and smaller plant breeding companies, inhibiting their development of new varieties, particularly of specialty and other smaller acreage crops. These characteristics have been sought after by plant breeders for centuries.

Genetic diversity of the cultivated vanilla in Madagascar. Chromosome-level genome assembly and population genomic resource to accelerate orphan crop lablab breeding. Lots of genetic groups based on SNPs, but not structured in space or environmentally, except maybe by altitude. NW India is a centre of diversity.
