Exploring and gathering the Serbian and Czech crop wild relatives for increasing crop diversity in agriculture

Original language description

Conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture is a very important task from the strategic and economic points of view almost in the whole world. Collecting expeditions and gathering of crop wild relatives, such as meadow (field and vegetable crops), aromatic, medicinal plants and some threatened species, are important parts of plant genetic resources activities which enrich gene bank storage composition. Common collecting missions are organized annually in both countries since 2011. Ten of them took place in Serbia and twelve in the Czech Republic. In total, 367 localities have been visited and 1782 seed samples of crop wild relatives have been collected. In the Czech Republic it was 189 localities and 1058 seed samples, while in Serbia it was 178 localities and 724 seed samples. It presents large source of biodiversity, which can be utilized in breeding and within in situ conservation activities. All the samples are stored in the working collections of both institutes, after regeneration and multiplication process the seeds are stored in both national gene banks. These collecting missions provided new information concerning to the distribution of crop wild relatives and traditional farming practices still present in some regions, especially in Serbia. Our preliminary results indicated that the wild seed lots are an important source of valuable genetic variability for utilization in breeding programs. In the paper detailed survey of collected material and its utilization is presented.
