Description: The Olive collection of the CNR-IBBR in Perugia comprises about 1,700 accessions, including clones and crosses of many European and extra-European varieties. A clonal field collection of Olive trees was planted in 2014 in Lugnano in Teverina (PG, Central Italy) and is currently maintained through the collaboration of the CNR-IBBR and CNR-ISAFOM institutes of Perugia. The collection also includes progenies from various crosses of Olive tree cultivars, and minor Olive tree cultivars from Umbria, Italy. The main goal of the collection is the long-term preservation of the olive biodiversity as a source of genetic material for the selection and cultivation of new cultivars. Molecular identification, morphological characterization, and bio-agronomic and metabolic evaluation work are currently underway in these collections.

Description: About 600 endophitic fungi isolated from Humulus lupulus and Crocus sativus and about 200 strains of lignicolous fungi from various forest environments of central Italy. Each strain was isolated in PDA medium, sub-cultured and stored in pdb-glicerol at -80 °C. Strain typing is carried out by molecular analysis of ITS region. The collection is screened for the identification of potential biocontrol agents and enzymatic activities and metabolites of biotechnological interest.
