Blueprints for sustainable plant production through the utilization of crop wild relatives and their microbiomes

Abstract Conserving crop wild relatives (CWR) in their natural environments, together with the complex communities of microorganisms that live with them, could lay the foundation to unlock novel mechanisms for crop resilience and new strategies for achieving food security.
