Shattercane (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. drummondii) and weedy sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) are two examples of crop wild relatives (CWRs) that have become troublesome weeds in agriculture. Shattercane is a race belonging to a different subspecies than domesticated sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench subsp. bicolor). Weedy sunflower populations are natural hybrids between wild and domesticated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). Both species have key weedy characteristics, such as early seed shattering and seed dormancy, which play an important role in their success as agricultural weeds. They are widely reported as important agricultural weeds in the United States and have invaded various agricultural areas in Europe. Shattercane is very competitive to sorghum, maize (Zea mays L.), and soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Weedy sunflower causes severe yield losses in sunflower, maize, soybean, pulse crops, and industrial crops. Herbicide resistance was confirmed in populations of both species. The simultaneous presence of crops and their wild relatives in the field leads to crop–wild gene flow. Hybrids are fertile and competitive. Hybridization between herbicide-tolerant crops and wild populations creates herbicide-resistant hybrid populations. Crop rotation, false seedbed, cover crops, and competitive crop genotypes can suppress shattercane and weedy sunflower. Preventative measures are essential to avoid their spread on new agricultural lands. The development of effective weed management strategies is also essential to prevent hybridization between sorghum, sunflower, and their wild relatives and to mitigate its consequences.

Wild Accessions

Cultivated crops are expected to be less stress tolerant than their wild relatives, leading to efforts to mine wild relatives for traits to increase crop tolerance. However, empirical tests of this expectation often confound tolerance with plant vigor. We assessed whether wild and cultivated Helianthus annuus L. differed for salinity tolerance with 0 and 150 mM NaCl treatments. Salinity tolerance was assessed as the proportional reduction in biomass and as the deviation from expected performance based on vigor. Cultivated accessions had a greater proportional decline in biomass than wild accessions, but proportional decline was positively associated with vigor in both. Thus, wild and cultivated H. annuus did not differ for tolerance when variation in vigor was corrected for statistically. For traits potentially related to tolerance mechanisms, wild and cultivated accessions differed for elemental content and allocation of N, P, K, Mg, Ca, S, Na, Fe, Mn, B, Cu, and Zn for some tissues, biomass allocation, specific leaf area, and leaf succulence. However, these traits were generally unrelated to tolerance corrected for vigor. Osmotic adjustment was associated with tolerance corrected for vigor only in wild accessions where more osmotic adjustment was associated with greater tolerance. Our results for H. annuus suggest that efforts to use wild relatives to enhance crop abiotic stress tolerance will benefit from greater knowledge of traits related to plant growth responses decoupled from vigor, in order to get beyond potential growth-tolerance trade-offs.

Plant genetic resources are the biological basis of global food security. Agricultural diversity and genetic resources should be used more effectively to sustain the current level of food production and to solve future problems. The importance of plant genetic resources in the improvement of varieties with new features is indisputably known. The most effective use of plant genetic resources is undoubtedly in plant breeding and improvement of new varieties. In other words, it is used as a genitor. Since the cultivars are often inadequate in many genes, especially biotic and abiotic stress factors (diseases, pests, cold, drought, etc.), breeders constantly search for new sources of genetic materials. This review is based on reports in the landraces (primitive) varieties and crop wild relatives to explain the importance of genetic resources in plant breeding of reviewing scientific literature to pass.
