Supplementary datasets for: State of ex situ conservation of landrace groups of twenty-five major crops by Ramírez Villegas, Julián Armando, Khoury, Colin K., Achicanoy Estrella, Harold Armando, Díaz, Maria Victoria, Mendez, Andres, Sosa, Chrystian C

“…This dataset was used to test the power of ecogeographic (spatial) information in distinguishing the various landrace groups within a crop (using the 50 ecogeographic spatial predictors, compiled in Ramirez-Villegas et al. 2020). Once the infraspecific structure with highest accuracy (ecogeographic signal) was identified, a total occurrence dataset for the landraces of each crop was compiled, with each occurrence attributed to a specific landrace group. …”
