The European Search Catalogue for Plant Genetic Resources, EURISCO, provides information about 1.8 million crop plant accessions preserved by almost 400 institutes in Europe and beyond. EURISCO is being maintained on behalf of the Cooperative Programme Resources. It based a network National Inventories 43 member countries represents an important effort preservation world's agrobiological diversity providing large genetic kept collaborating collections. Moreover, also assists its fulfilling...
The domestication process of Brassica oleracea L. has not been fully clarified, either regarding its initial location or the progenitor species involved. Two alternative hypotheses proposed so far point to a northwest European Mediterranean location. Previous studies clarify focused on linguistic aspects and earliest occurrences in ancient literature words referring B. oleracea. Those are here extended offer comprehensive account literary brassica vegetables Greek Latin texts, between VI...
Plant genetic resources (PGR) are a vital research infrastructure and an important asset to increase the resiliency of agri-food systems, conserve agrobiodiversity mitigate effects climate change. In current scenarios change biodiversity loss, it becomes increasingly urgent ensure conservation existing crop diversity assure its availability for breeding enable development new, adapted crops. Throughout Europe, more than 400 collections PGR over 6,500 genera, with 2 million accessions...
Local varieties of leafy kales (Brassica oleracea L.) are grown in home gardens Calabria and Sicily for self-consumption, the same area where wild relative Brassica rupestris Raf. also grows. With use AFLP markers, comparisons were made genetic diversity population structure ten 22 cultivated populations, as well a hybrid four commercial cultivars different B. crops. The level was higher than populations this mainly distributed within populations. Wild remained distinct from material....
Societal Impact Statement Given the rapidly increasing drought and temperature stresses associated with climate change, innovative approaches for food security are imperative. One understudied opportunity is using feral crops—plants that have escaped persisted without cultivation—as a source of genetic diversity, which could build resilience in domesticated conspecifics. In some cases, however, plants vigorously compete crops as weeds, challenging security. By bridging historically siloed...
Abstract The European Search Catalogue for Plant Genetic Resources (EURISCO) is a central entry point information on crop plant germplasm accessions from institutions in Europe and beyond. In total, it provides data more than two million accessions, making an important contribution to unlocking the vast genetic diversity that lies deposited >400 collections 43 countries. EURISCO serves as reference system Strategy represents significant approach documenting available world’s...
The production of microalgal biomass and products derived thereof for a wide variety applications is hot research topic, with the number facilities being built biologically active molecules launched into market increasing every year. aim current study was to identify attitudes citizens in Almería (Spain) Livorno (Italy) towards construction microalgae plant biorefinery their cities also opinions about microalgae-based that could be produced. Overall, (Spain), NIMBY (not my back yard)...
Brassicamontana Pourr., a wild relative of the Brassicaoleracea L. cole crops (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.), deserves special attention for its potential to easily transfer agronomically useful traits related crops. Monitoring existing B.montana populations is first step enabling long-term conservation and management genetic resources. The main distribution area extends along coasts northern Mediterranean Sea from north-east Spain north-west Italy (coast Liguria Apuan Alps in...
During Phase VIII (2009-2013) of the ECPGR Programme, its Brassica Working Group (BWG) decided to focus attention all members on priority actions represented by development AEGIS (A European Genebank Integrated System), and characterize collections both B. rapa, which could be defined as a multicrop species for multiple utilization, wild (n=9) distributed in Mediterranean basin. The activities planned are being carried out DISPA-University Catania (UNICT), Centre Genetic Resources (CGN),...
