spp. germplasm

Plant genetic diversity is a valuable gua ran t ee aga ins t pos s ib l e adversaries that threaten the survival of biological species. Research on genetic resources and plant breeding is one of the innovation activities most relevant for agriculture sustainability. In this sense, the access, organization and maintenance of important collections of exotic variability and the significant efforts with collection, characterization, conservation and promotion for the use of native species of agricultural food interest have helped to create the bases of sustainability for various genetic breeding programs.
