“…In Spain, for example, with this aim of local and cultural adaptation, new improved materials have been developed from landraces in tomatoes (Casals et al, 2010; Garcia-Martínez et al, 2011), beans (Bosch et al, 1998; Almirall et al, 2010; Ferreira et al, 2012), onions (Simó et al, 2012), and eggplants (Prohens et al, 2009). It would be difficult to argue that these cultivars should not be considered landraces because they have been obtained using breeding techniques like directed crossings and/or self-fertilization followed by selection.…”
