Wild cousins of our crop plants are important as
1. source of valuable traits. Genomics, phenomics, & even deep learning are now helping in identifying useful traits such as drought tolerance, & transferring them to cultivated varieties of crops

2. Using genomics and gene editing, these wild plants can be ‘speed domesticated’ in an accelerated manner (compressing 10,000 years of domestication into 3 years) into cultivated crops keeping valuable hardy traits yet amenable to farming @rajvarshney
