Description: The CNR-IPSP-PLAVIT Collection preserve more than 1100 isolates collected mainly in Italy, but also from other countries (Europe, Asia, Africa and America), 134 distinct viral species, belonging to the main taxonomic groups. A limited number of non-mechanically transmissible viral species are stored as infectious clones at - 80°. Preservation techniques - Dried leaves: lyophilised infected leaves stored at -20°C; Liquid Nitrogen: infected leaves stored in liquid nitrogen. The collection is partner in the projects SUS-MIRRI.IT (https://susmirri-mbrc.di.unito.it/), EVA-GLOBAL (https://www.european-virus-archive.com/) and Bio Memory (https://biomemory.cnr.it/), and is member of the European Culture Collection Organization (ECCO – https://www.eccosite.org/italy/ ) and of the World Data Center for Microorganisms (WDCM – https://www.wdcm.org/).
