National Inventory


    Taxa directly used for food, fiber, forage,
    medicine, ornamental, and restoration
    purposes
    CWR taxa (taxa used for crop
    improvement through breeding)
    Both native and non-native taxa
    Sources: GRIN World Economic Plants
    Database; Flora of North America;
    McGuffin (2000); Native Seed Network
    Database.
•   List reviewed by US researchers, curators,
    breeders (THANK YOU!)                         Phaseolus angustissimus source: SEINet

•   Inventory currently lists over 4,600 taxa
Taxonomic Priorities


Prioritization of taxa based upon potential use value
  genepools of major crops with active breeding
  programs
  primary focus on food crops
Gathered data on major crops globally (FAOSTAT,
published literature, ITPGRFA)
Prioritized the list
Results: 242 World’s Top Crops (268 genera)
101 crops (119 genera) in Priority 1
141 crops (149 genera) in Priority 2
Includes all the most important agricultural crops
around the world by a number of measures, and covers
all crops listed in FAOSTAT for US production and food

supply, with virtually all major US crops on Priority 1.
Taxonomic Priorities for the US


Applied World’s Top Crops list to the
national inventory and GRIN
taxonomy to derive a priority list of
CWR occurring in the USA
Reviewed inventory and proposed
additional priorities that did not
emerge from global data
Proposed iconic US wild harvested
species crops, e.g. sugar maple, wild
rice, echinacea, pine nut, pecan, jojoba,
agave
List reviewed by US researchers,
curators, breeders (THANK YOU!)

Taxonomic Priorities for the US


>2,000 taxa of 175 priority genera occur in the USA
800 taxa of 69 Priority 1 genera
316 taxa of 33 genera 1A (closely related native taxa)
477 taxa of 47 genera 1B (distantly related, non-
native)
Priority 2 genera- future work!
Important crops with rich genepools include Allium
(onion), Cucurbita (squash), Fragaria (strawberry),
Helianthus (sunflower), Ipomoea (sweet potato),
Phaseolus (bean), Prunus (cherry, almond, peach,
etc.), Ribes (currant), Rubus (raspberry), Vaccinium
(blueberry, cranberry), and Vitis (grape), among         Rubus hawaiensis source: luirig.altervista.org

  • 2. Strategy Flowchart source: adapted from Maxted N. various publications
  • 3. National Inventory Taxa directly used for food, fiber, forage, medicine, ornamental, and restoration purposes CWR taxa (taxa used for crop improvement through breeding) Both native and non-native taxa Sources: GRIN World Economic Plants Database; Flora of North America; McGuffin (2000); Native Seed Network Database. • List reviewed by US researchers, curators, breeders (THANK YOU!) Phaseolus angustissimus source: SEINet • Inventory currently lists over 4,600 taxa
  • 4. Taxonomic Priorities Prioritization of taxa based upon potential use value genepools of major crops with active breeding programs primary focus on food crops Gathered data on major crops globally (FAOSTAT, published literature, ITPGRFA) Prioritized the list Results: 242 World’s Top Crops (268 genera) 101 crops (119 genera) in Priority 1 141 crops (149 genera) in Priority 2 Includes all the most important agricultural crops around the world by a number of measures, and covers all crops listed in FAOSTAT for US production and food Juglans hindsii source: http://dendro.cnre.vt.edu supply, with virtually all major US crops on Priority 1.
  • 5. Taxonomic Priorities for the US Applied World’s Top Crops list to the national inventory and GRIN taxonomy to derive a priority list of CWR occurring in the USA Reviewed inventory and proposed additional priorities that did not emerge from global data Proposed iconic US wild harvested species crops, e.g. sugar maple, wild rice, echinacea, pine nut, pecan, jojoba, agave List reviewed by US researchers, curators, breeders (THANK YOU!) Vitis rotundifolia source: Will Cook, 2008
  • 6. Taxonomic Priorities for the US >2,000 taxa of 175 priority genera occur in the USA 800 taxa of 69 Priority 1 genera 316 taxa of 33 genera 1A (closely related native taxa) 477 taxa of 47 genera 1B (distantly related, non- native) Priority 2 genera- future work! Important crops with rich genepools include Allium (onion), Cucurbita (squash), Fragaria (strawberry), Helianthus (sunflower), Ipomoea (sweet potato), Phaseolus (bean), Prunus (cherry, almond, peach, etc.), Ribes (currant), Rubus (raspberry), Vaccinium (blueberry, cranberry), and Vitis (grape), among Rubus hawaiensis source: luirig.altervista.org others.
