Description

The mission of the CRF is to contribute to preserve and sustainably use of plant genetic diversity. Thus, the CRF conserves and uses landraces, crop wild relatives, obsolete commercial varieties and other species that are no-longer-used but which have genetic potential value for food and agriculture, making available the heritage of Spanish agrobiodiversity, which is key for Agofood Innovation as well as for the fulfillment of the environmental objectives of sustainable development. One of the mains CRF’s functions is the Conservation and Characterization of an important part of this diversity such are the ACTIVE COLLECTION, that includes CEREALS (wheat, barley, rye, avena, corn…), GRAIN LEGUMES (chickpea, lentils, vetch, common bean…) and some INDUSTRIAL CROPS (sunflower, cotton…).

Overall information
Goals

Conserve the active collections in optimal conservation conditions to be used for their characterization and evaluation in the CRF itself and/or by other institutions interested in the study of this diversity Facilitate it use of other researchers and material developers for their studies and improvement programmes Providing materials to farmers/collectives interested in the recovery of traditional varieties. To improve the conservation, characterization and evaluation systems of our collections by applying the results of the research we carry out, both at the CRF and at other collaborating institutions.

Strengths

We have available the most important Spanish seed collections of winter cereals, grain legumes and industrial crops, keeping in conditions that allow their long-term maintenance. The collections are documented with passport data information and, in some cases, are characterized agro/morphologically, with biochemical and molecular markers. Our research lines are focus germplasm conservation and with the evaluation of conserved materials. We have adequate facilities for the purpose to be fulfilled, including laboratories, conservation chambers and experimental farm. The team responsible for the collections has extensive experience in the field and is highly motivated to carry out this work.
