Yet, Rick observed that crosses between wild and cultivated species generated a wide array of novel genetic variation in the offspring, despite the fact that routine evaluation of wild and exotic resources often failed to detect the genetic potential of these resources (Rick 1967, natural genetic variation found in wild the genetic base of our crop plants Harlan JR (1976) Genetic resources in wild ./cache/work_jp5oklnjufhehhpl7ndou3sdly.pdf ./txt/work_jp5oklnjufhehhpl7ndou3sdly.txt
