Achicanoy, Vivian Bernau, Nigel MaxtedThis poster presents the largest global database devoted to store the occurrence registers of crop wild relatives worldwide. The authors describe the multiple sources that were used as sources for such information, the curating process that this data undertook as an added value to the database and the botanical families that are largely represented in the database. This set of information is useful for researchers, students and conservation practitioners interested in the distributions, use and conservation of crop wild relatives.
