The extent of use of wild relatives in breeding programs depends on how wild the crop is, how desperate the situation is, the pressures to turn out new cultivars, the availability of materials, the difficulty of use and the character of the plant breeder and of the institution in which he works. Wild relatives have been used as sources of disease, insect and nematode resistance, to widen adaptation, to provide alternate cytoplasms and develop cytoplasmic sterility systems, to improve quality, alter modes of reproduction, induce short stature, increase crossability between species, improve resistance to stress and increase yield. Some crops can not maintain commercial status without genetic support of wild relatives.
