Using potato's wild relatives to increase genetic diversity within crops

Crops are products of artificial evolutionary processes, which results from the genotype manipulation of plants with some nutritional or economic value for human1 . As a result, genetic variability is lost over the time, and features such as flower and seed production, and also defense mechanisms are also lost2 . Although, in agriculture these characteristics may not be relevant to plant survival, the decrease in genetic variability leads to diseases, null stress tolerance and reduced nutritional value. Becoming a concern for farmers and leading us to the question: What can we do to conserve genetic diversity within crops
