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: The collection CNR-IBBR-MEPP is hosted at the CNR-IBBR in Palermo (Sicily, Italy) and preserves about 350 strains mainly isolated from the Mediterranean agro-food systems as well as from spontaneous perennial and herbaceous plants, Various microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and fungi) of agro-food importance with pathological behaviour are included. Microrganisms are isolated from different Mediterranean geographical areas. CNR-IBBR-MEPP hosts also strains form collection of other Research centre or University. Main taxa are: culturable endophytic bacteria (mainly Pseudomonas, Erwinia Staphylococcus, Pantoea, Bacillus, Vibrio), actinomycetes (Streptomyces); some phytopathogenic filamentous fungi belonging to Botrytis, Neofabraea, Alternaria, Fusarium and Monilinia genera. Some strains are available for research purposes only.

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.

Description: The CNR-IBBR-SUB collection is maintained at Institute of Biosciences and Bioresources (IBBR) in Naples, Italy. It includes endophytic bacteria isolated from rice plants grown in Italy and in the State of Mali (West Africa), as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria isolated from the industrial zone of the port of Marghera (Venice, Italy). Microorganisms are cryopreserved at -80 °C resuspended in growth media containing cryoprotectants (glycerol). Frozen microorganisms can be revived by thawing at 37 °C and inoculating into fresh culture medium. The main aim of the collection is to study bacteria interacting with legumes and cereals (e.g., N-fixation, phytohormones production, etc.) and their ability to improve host plants resistance to abiotic stresses.

Description: The Mediterranean Germplasm Genebank (MGG) is the agro-food plant seed collection maintained at the Institute of Biosciences and Bio Resources (IBBR) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in Bari, Italy. Overall, MGG preserves more than 59,000 accessions of 870 species from 203 genera and 39 families (mainly Poaceae, Fabaceae, Solanaceae, Brassicaceae, Asteraceae, etc.). Over 13,000 samples have been directly collected through time and georeferenced by IBBR exploration teams, while others have been acquired from other Institutions through exchange activities. The main objective of MGG is the preservation of genetic resources of herbaceous plants of interest for the Mediterranean agriculture. Particular attention is dedicated to specific segments of plant genetic resources, such as local varieties (including "typical products") or endangered agro-ecotypes, wild relatives of crops and plants potentially useful for the extraction of bioactive or biotechnological compounds. The main commitments of MGG since 1970 are: (i) the collection, conservation and distribution of PGR; (ii) the characterization and evaluation of PGRs and the analysis of their genetic structure; (ii) the selection and pre-breeding of PGR, and the recognition of useful genes.
