Abstract

The wild species are the reservoir of novel alleles/genes for agronomical important traits. The wild species plants have the capacity to show tolerance/resistance against various biotic and abiotic stresses. The domesticated or artificial selected crop varieties are prone to diseases and insect-pests that can be improved by the potential use of novel alleles/genes from wild species. Till date few of the novel genes have been identified in wild species and transferred to the cultivated species. The advances in chromosome manipulation and biotechnological techniques including high-throughput sequencing can facilitate the utilization of wild plant species in varietal developmental programmes more precisely. The present review provides information on the important wild species harbouring alleles/genes for agriculturally important traits and their successful utilization in plant breeding programmes.
