Use "landraces" in a sentence
"The region is rich in so-called 'landraces' - traditional varieties of drought-resistant crops which small scale farmers could take advantage of rather than the hybrid varieties that are being promoted, agricultural experts say."
""As one way to respond to this variability, they have been able to develop a variety of landraces [the technical term for varieties of basic crops that are made to adapt to different weather and climate conditions, dry years, wet years and more].""
"Recent genetic studies revealed that the earliest known landraces of the European potato contain both Andean and Chilean molecular markers."
