PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES FROM THE BALKAN PENINSULA IN THE WORLD’S GENEBANKS
Keywords:
genebanks, Balkan PeninsulaAbstract
An overview is given of plant genetic resources that originate from countries of the Balkan Peninsula and are preserved in genebanks worldwide. For each country, the number of genebanks holding ma-terial from this country, and the number of accessions are presented. A summary is also provided by crops (scientific names). The survey is based on databases such as FAO WIEWS (World Information and Early Warning System), EURISCO (European search catalogue for plant genetic resources), and Genesys (worldwide database on plant genetic resources).
