Description
The CNR-IBBR-PPGR is an ex-situ field germplasm collection of perennial plants maintained at Collesano (Palermo, Sicily, Italy). The collection includes 220 accessions of Citrus relevant for their agronomic, historical and ornamental value, 40 accessions of Olea (natural and cultivated olive trees) and 480 accessions of Vitis (grapevine), all highly representative of the Mediterranean genetic resources. Several genotypes of Capparis sp.p., Zelkova sicula and Calendula maritima threatened of genetic erosion or extinction, are also maintained in the field. Several accessions are stored in in vitro culture and maintained in screen-house. Recently, a cryostorage program has been developed to preserve the genetic resources stored in the field. The main objective of the CNR-IBBR-PPGR collection is safeguarding the genetic resources of species of interest for Italian and Mediterranean agriculture.
