DiSSCo-ITINERIS Metadata Catalog

The main goal of the collection is the long-term preservation of 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 are underway. The main fields of research are plant biology, plant genomics, genetic resources, and olive oil.

Content: ITINERIS (PNRR Project IR0000032) Activity 6.5 "Mining and mapping the functional biodiversity in vivo and ex-situ research collections" - This activity aims to provide biodiversity (meta)data linked to Natural Science Collections (NSC) in terms of extended digital specimens fully linked to related information (e.g.. images and videos, codification of functional traits, DNA and protein sequences, environmental parameters, etc.). The expected outcome of the activity is the implementation of a national network of biological research collections, including all the existing in vivo and ex-situ collections of biological organisms (animals, plants, fungi, algae, archaea, bacteria, viruses, etc.) that have been created and maintained through past and current research projects. || BIOMEMORY (CNR-DiSBA Project No. SAC.AD002.173) is the network of biological collections of the Department of Biology, Agriculture and Food Sciences (DiSBA) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) for bio-monitoring, biodiversity conservation, agri-food and environmental sustainability, and human well-being. The project aims to create a network of biobanks (i.e., scientific research collections) where data and metadata associated with biological samples of different natures are collected and stored in a systematic and well-organized way. Maintaining the existing collections will allow their future use for many purposes, from the genetic improvement of organisms to face environmental changes (climate-ready organisms) to the fight against epidemics and pandemics affecting humans, animals, and plants.
