title: Role of Legume Genetic Resources in Climate Resilience
abstract: Abiotic stresses extremely affect the production, development, and harvest of plants, resulting in higher economic losses at the expense of global food. A serious cause for loss in biodiversity is the displacement of landraces that were adapted locally with mono-cropping as adaptive traits to future climate changes using genetically uniform hybrids and improved cultivars. However, there is no history available as to whether and where diversity has been lost. Plant genetic resources (PGRs) have l
